Ishmael Khaldi lecture in Edinburgh cancelled after protests
Ishmael Khaldi’s lecture at the University of Edinburgh, hosted by the university’s Jewish Society, was cancelled after protest by students acting in support of Palestinian refugees. Khaldi, special advisor to Avigdor Lieberman, left the stage after 45 minutes, having been unable to speak due to the group of approximately 50 protesters, whose presence was not removed by security.

Not much of a victory here. This is a violation of free speech and a violation of the rights of those who came to hear the guy speak. There is a very short step from this sort of thing to preventing your right to free speech. Would you approve of protesters preventing Dr. Barghouti from speaking at a university? Or the angryarab?
