Dozens of enraged pro-Palestinian protestors attacked Israel's ambassador to Ireland this weekend as he was leaving a university in the city of Galway.
Dr. Zion Evrony, speaking at an open lecture organized by the law school, was first greeted with dozens of shouting protestors waving Palestinian flags. During the speech 20 students attempted to "blow up" the lecture by using an agreed signal and suddenly shouting and waving signs and flags. The protestors were asked to leave the hall.
After the speech and Q&A portion of the 90 minute lecture were over the ambassador exited the hall surrounded by police officers. However as he was leaving the campus grounds several dozen angry protestors attacked his vehicle, pounding their fists against the car and climbing onto the car. No one was arrested...
"No one was arrested..."
That is a sad commentary on the state of civic life in Ireland.
Another example of the 'compassionate left' and their clear hypocracy. When was the last time you heard about the 'war mongering right' physically (and violently) disrupting a talk/speech/seminar given by Israeli opposition?
I can say never in the US and a resounding proabably never for other free countries.
Social policies aside I honestly site the clear and obvious sleazy hypocracy of the far left as my number one objection to the democrat party.
