Students at George Washington University, in Washington DC, walked out on a lecture by “Israeli” Ambassador to the United States, Michael Oren, on Monday night.

As Oren’s lecture “Ultimate Allies: “Israel” and the United States,” started, about 30 students raised signs, got up, and left the auditorium in silence.

Outside they were met by more protesters, holding signs reading “Oren supports colonialism,” “What are you going to do with 30 billion?” [in reference to US military aid to “Israel” over the next decade], and “What is the best way to stop terrorism? Stop committing it!”
In February 2010, a lecture Oren gave at the University of California, Irvine was disrupted by a group of student hecklers, shouting anti-“Israel” slogans.

Ten out of the 11 students were arrested in the incident, and they were later known as “Irvine 11”.
The US courts sentenced the 11 men to three years’ probation with the pretext of misdemeanors.

Since this incident, the “Israeli” ambassador lectures are periodically disrupted by protests – but these are mostly silent, at least inside the auditorium. …source
