Palestinian cultural event in London facing ban over alleged terror links
 A shot across the bow after the smaller than expected Quds Day march? | [IsraelTimes] A British politician is reportedly considering cancelling of the largest Paleostinian cultural events in Europe over the organizers’ alleged links to the terrorist groups Hamas, a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth", and Hezbollah.
According to a report in The Guardian, Community Secretary Sajid Javid informed "Friends of al-Aqsa" earlier this month that he was considering their two-day event in London over "concerns that your organization and those connected with it have expressed public support for a proscribed organization, namely Hamas, and that you have supported events at which Hamas and Hezbollah ‐ also proscribed ‐ have been praised."
Javid was expected to make a final decision on the matter on Friday, but his office said the politician was busy attending events in the wake of the Grenfell Tower disaster.
