A PALESTINIAN flag was taken down from Tower Hamlets town hall in London yesterday after being up for less than 24 hours in solidarity with Gaza.

The Metropolitan Police were called to the town hall in the morning after anti-semitism awareness campaign YadbYad UK had issued a complaint on Twitter.

Addressing the Tower Hamlets Met from its official account, YadbYad claimed that raising the Palestinian flag was an “incitement and a danger to the Jewish community.”
