Monday- Feb 13, 2017 - 6:30- Columbia Univ. Danny Danon, the Israeli Ambassador to the UN was invited to speak at Columbia University.
However, anti-Israel groups were planning a protest to disrupt the event.
SO...there was an Emergency Rally For Israel :
Let us show the UN ambassador of the only Middle East democracy a warm welcome. Let us show our support to Students Supporting Israel at Columbia University - SSI Columbia who organized this event.
What
we saw outside (and others inside) was predictable. They did not fail
to agitate. The SJP .... and others.... were there to SHUT DOWN Free
Speech.
[video -the confrontation that went on outside]
Saw
them assemble to march at approx. 6:30 and then- as they began
marching back and forth in front of Lerner Hall- they grew in numbers.
Glutting the sidewalk. Jamming egress for anyone just trying to walk by. And SHOUTING. CHANTING. Hateful. Nasty. Smug. Shrill.
Eventually the police brought more barricades- to clear the center of the public sidewalk. But, the noise pollution continued, unabated,
while other kuffeya-clad REGISTERED GUESTS continued to gain entry.
INSIDE- as predicted- was the shut Danon down phase two.
SHOUT and SHOUT and SHOUT so he can't speak. not answer questions. after all- someone might hear the TRUTH. These fascist thugs can't have that - EVER
And Columbia? Shame on you. SHAME SHAME SHAME

I conclude with this buoyant response: Allyson Levy ·

Right on!

However, anti-Israel groups were planning a protest to disrupt the event.
SO...there was an Emergency Rally For Israel :
Due
to their pressure, Columbia administration imposed a last-minute
restriction on the event's attendance preventing many Israel supporters
and other interested parties from hearing the ambassador's speech.
Wait listed means .... NO ADMITTANCE !
Let us show the UN ambassador of the only Middle East democracy a warm welcome. Let us show our support to Students Supporting Israel at Columbia University - SSI Columbia who organized this event.
Let
us send a message to the Columbia administration that the university's
responsibility is to protect and encourage free speech and civil
discourse instead of restricting it.
And
let us show anti-Israel hate groups that false and bigoted messages
will not prevail. This is a non-partisan pro-Israel, pro free speech
event!.
