The Campaign Against Antisemitism has won the right to mount a legal challenge against the Crown Prosecution Service’s decision to block the prosecution of the host of last year's Al-Quds Day march who linked Zionists to the Grenfell Tower tragedy.

The CAA had launched a private prosecution against Nazim Ali, for inciting racial or religious hatred, over comments he made during the Al-Quds rally in London in 2017.

Mr Ali, a director of the Islamic Human Rights Commission, told the crowd: “It is the Zionists who give money to the Tory Party to kill people in high-rise blocks”.

He also told protesters to “ be careful of those rabbis who belong to the Board of Deputies, who have got blood on their hands”.
