Interrupt ’’Israeli’’ Talk…Get Physically Attacked
Local Editor
A group of university students in New Mexico were physically assaulted for protesting an "Israel" alliance talk that took place on the University Campus last week on Thursday.
According to the Atlantic Wire, the title of the talk was "Why the Arab Spring Is Failing" and was being lead by speaker Nonie Darwish, who expressed fear-mongering and unqualified support for "Israel".
The students, who expressed solidarity with Palestine, were assaulted after they protested the unconditioned support to "Israel" during the talk.
According to the source, which provided videos for the incident, audience members got up out of their seats and physically attacked the protesting students.
"Mic check! Nonie Darwish speaks for "Israeli" apartheid!," yell the students at around 15 seconds into the video. "And genocide at the hands of the IDF [Israeli army]!" From there, older male audience members begin to slowly walk their way up to the students (some of them young women), and start physically pushing and attacking them. At 55 seconds in, you can see one of the students goes flying over a row of seats.
More into the details, the protesters were shouted down by pro-"Israel" members in the audience, who assaulted a woman, pulled her hair, and forcibly pushed another person over a row of seats. A third person was punched in the face. Pro-"Israel" members also destroyed a phone that was used to record the assault.
