One of the organisers of the “school strikes for Palestine” movement, which saw thousands of children bunking off school to join anti-Israel protests last month, posted messages on a WhatsApp group glorifying Hamas and justifying the killing of a British teenager, the JC can reveal.

As a result of our investigation, he has been reported to the police by the Department for Education.

The activist, who goes by the name of “Dean”, was exposed after this newspaper infiltrated a chat group set up to co-ordinate anti-Israel rallies attended by schoolchildren across the country, including the one due to take place this Thursday.

In one message shared in the group, Dean posted a message celebrating the detonation of a mine by Hamas terrorists “against eight Israeli foot soldiers”.
