A student, who was dropped from leading an Israel tour for taking part in the “Kaddish for Gaza”, has joined another tour after Liberal Judaism stepped in at the last minute, despite objections from the tour's principal organisers.

Nina Morris-Evans, 20, was among a group of young Jews who sparked a huge row when they said the Jewish mourning prayer for 62 Palestinians who died in clashes on the border with Israel in May.

The group went ahead with the event, held outside the Houses of Parliament in Westminster, despite the fact Hamas had claimed 50 of those killed were members of the terror group.
