A London mayoral candidate has expressed dismay at what he considers a lack of response on the part of British authorities to an anti-Israel incident that took place last Tuesday evening at King\u2019s College, Britain\u2019s Jewish News reported on Friday.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

In an extensive interview with the publication, Zac Goldsmith, the mayoral race\u2019s Conservative candidate, said he was \u201c[worried]\u2026that no one has to [his] knowledge been arrested or charged by the police\u201d for the attack on an event at which former Israeli Shin Bet chief Ami Ayalon was invited to give a talk.<\/span><\/p>\n

At the event \u2013 co-sponsored by the Israel Societies of Kings College London and the London School of Economics \u2014 as The Algemeiner reported on Wednesday \u2014 anti-Israel activists chanted \u201cFree Palestine,\u201d hurled chairs, smashed a window and even physically assaulted Esther Endfield, one of the organizers.<\/span><\/p>\n

Goldsmith told the Jewish News that the demonstrators \u201cweren\u2019t just saying ugly things but they were doing ugly things. They very clearly crossed the line.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

In spite of pre-arranged security guards on the premises, and dozens of police officers subsequently called to the scene of the violence \u2014 which included the angry protesters setting off fire alarms on every floor of the building in which the lecture was held \u2013 no suspects have been apprehended. That there were several cellphone cameras shooting videos throughout Ayalon\u2019s lecture, both indoors and outside, where the commotion was taking place, makes the lack of arrests striking to many observers.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to the Jewish News, other political figures have been weighing in on the incident, such as Conservative Minister for Universities Jo Johnson, who called it \u201cviolent intimidation that curtails free speech,\u201d and former Communities Minister Eric Pickles, who referred to the perpetrators as \u201cneo-fascists.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
