Dr James Orr, an academic at the Faculty of Divinity, made the comments on a video showing crowds of demonstrators outside the Israeli embassy.
Students have accused a Cambridge University professor of racism after he tweeted 'Import the Arab World, become the Arab World' in response to footage of pro-Palestinian protesters in London.
A member of the Divinity Faculty told newspaper Varsity: 'This clearly falls well short of the standards expected of an academic at a public university. 'It is unthinkable that Orr can continue to enjoy the confidence of students and colleagues to teach, examine and collaborate without discrimination.'
Mr Jenrick has asked officials in the department to look at how they could revoke visas on national security grounds for people who commit hate crimes or express support for the terror group. It comes as immigration minister Robert Jenrick revealed plans to deport foreign nationals from Britain if they commit antisemitic acts or praise Hamas
Professor Anthony Glees, a security and intelligence expert at the University of Buckingham, said: 'It reeks of hypocrisy that universities will allow academics and students to back a terror organisation but yet they are so quick to no-platform academics. In a letter co-signed by higher education minister Robert Halfon, she said Jewish students must be free to 'pursue their studies without fear of harassment or intimidation'.
