I was at the Oren event. It was disgusting. These self-annointed martyrs attempted to deprive some 300 mostly elderly Jewish folks of the chance to hear the Israeli ambassador speak. They were rightly prosecuted and convicted.

In 2012, three of them returned to UC Irvine to speak as part of the annual anti-Israel week of events hosted by the Muslim Student Union. During the q and a, I pointed out to them that they were speaking without any disruption and asked them why they could not afford that right to those with whom they disagreed. They proudly answered that Oren was a "war criminal", and that if he ever returned to UCI, they would do it again.

One of those three speakers was Taher Herzallah.
