Radical Muslim Mob Shuts Down Israeli Expert’s Speech at University of Texas [on Ami Pedahzur]

On November 13, 2015, twelve members of the radical Palestine Solidarity Committee (PSC) at the University of Texas at Austin screamed and disrupted a public speech by an Israeli military expert.

The event was hosted by UT’s Institute for Israeli Studies titled “The Origin of a Species: The Birth of the Israeli Defense Forces’ Military Culture.”

The radical Muslims did not want the speech to be delivered – so they shut it down.

The Muslim mob tried to portray themselves as victims in the video they posted.

William Jacobson at Legal Insurrection reported:

The intimidation of Israeli and pro-Israeli speakers on campuses continues unabated.

We recently covered the disruption of a speech by an Israeli professor at the University of Minnesota Law School, and of an Israeli diplomat at the University of Windsor.

It just happened again at UT-Austin on November 13, 2015, but the video has just been posted. Twelve members of the Palestine Solidarity Committee (PSC) disrupted a public event hosted by Professor Ami Pedahzur of UT’s Institute for Israeli Studies titled “The Origin of a Species: The Birth of the Israeli Defense Forces’ Military Culture.” The invited guest speaker was Dr. Gil-Li Vardi from Stanford University.

The protesters and the anti-Israel propaganda machine including the national Students for Justice in Palestine are trying to turn the perpetrators into victims, with a video release being shared on Facebook and YouTube. The students not only disrupted the speech, when Prof. Pedahzur and another person (not clear if a professor or just a member of the audience) tried to get them to stop, they increased the volume of their chants calling for the destruction of Israel and “Long Live the Intifada”.
