Pro-Palestine protestors disrupt Naftali Bennett talk at Princeton

[question everything]

Princeton University is investigating several incidents involving pro-Palestinian protesters disrupting an event featuring former Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett, the university confirmed to JNS on Tuesday.

A crowd of around 250 protesters, allegedly led by the school’s chapter of Students for Justice in Palestine, gathered outside the lecture hall where the event was being held, and led anti-Israel chants.

Protesters allegedly called Bennett a war criminal and shouted slogans, including calling Jewish students “f******* inbred” and telling them to “go back to Europe”.

Inside the event itself, demonstrators repeatedly interrupted Bennett’s speech, accusing him and the Israeli government of genocide, though many were escorted out by university safety officers.

While the event was only open to students, faculty and staff, anti-Israel activist Sayel Kayed stood up and confronted the former prime minister, allegedly asking him how he could explain the deaths of thousands of Palestinian children in Gaza, before being told by staff that he violated university policy, according to Princeton Alumni Weekly.

Princeton University president Christopher Eisgruber confirmed that at least one protester was not a university student or community member, and said the university is taking action against them.

The official event was forced to end after another protester pulled the fire alarm.

[Bluestocking]

1. It will interesting to see where these protesters end up

The protesters clearly don’t understand that our country has changed. The non citizens will be deported but I wonder how they deal with US citizens. El Salvador perhaps. Did not sound like a peaceful protest.

2. This is the same Naftali Bennett who is currently the most likely political figure in Israel who can challenge Netanyahu

I keep wondering whether these self-appointed defenders of Palestinians are merely benign idiots or they have a specific outcome in mind that will do the opposite of defending Palestinians.

3. In New Jersey intentionally pulling a fire alarm

is a felony.

Whoever did that is an idiot

warning of an impending fire, explosion, bombing, crime, catastrophe

and that it is likely to cause evacuation of a building, place of
assembly or facility of public transport, or to cause public
inconveniences or alarm."
