US students protest Israeli ambassador’s lecture

A group of students from a university in the United States have shown their protest against Israeli Ambassador to the US Michael Oren by leaving his lecture.


About 30 students at George Washington University, in Washington DC, raised signs and left the auditorium in silence on Monday night, Haaretz reported.

The ambassador was giving a lecture about "Ultimate Allies: Israel and the United States."

The students held signs reading "Oren supports colonialism," "What is the best way to stop terrorism? Stop committing it!" and "What are you going to do with 30 billion?" referring to US military aid to Israel over the next decade.

The US has allocated close to USD 3 billion per year to Israel, entirely devoted to the purchase of US weapons, under a bilateral memorandum for ten years.

In February 2010, at least eleven students were arrested for interrupting Oren’s lecture at the University of California, Irvine.

The students were found guilty on two counts of misdemeanors and sentenced to three years probation.

The American students and or people do not have democracy. Their democracy has been subverted by AIPAC.

Simply Tel Aviv dictates to AIPAC who dictates to American political leaders.

Democracy in the US was destroyed once the right-wing activist judges on the supreme court ruled that any rich people or corporations can donate as many millions or billions they want, to any politician and even do so anonymously. US politicians are all for sale, their policies are sold to the highest bidder and the Zionists in America have the most money.

Good news story. There are some decent Americans out there, not brainwashed by their mainstream media like Fox "news".

I wouldn't be surprised if the decent ones are a majority
