U OF WINDSOR STUDENTS PROTEST LECTURE BY ISRAEL’S FIRST BEDOUIN DIPLOMAT [View all]

http://www.cjnews.com/home-featured/u-of-windsor-students-protest-lecture-by-israels-first-bedouin-diplomat

A group of anti-Israel students hijacked a lecture by Israel’s first Bedouin diplomat who had travelled to the University of Windsor to talk about his experience as a minority living in Israel because they “refused to allow a Zionist to lead the discussion on such a topic.”

“One of the things Khaldi explained after the walkout was that people who take those kinds of actions are a barrier to peace. He made a really powerful statement… about there being only one pathway to peace, and that is through negotiation and dialogue,” Sher said.

“I think the protesters succeeded to some extent in preventing a dialogue. They made the environment such that it didn’t feel like a real, open and honest dialogue was possible.”
