The event with Ron Bar Yosharfat, an IDF veteran, had to end when the anti-Israel dumbs breached the event. From The Daily Californian:
A joint Instagram post by Students Supporting Israel at Berkeley, or SSIB, and Berkeley Tikvah, who organized the event, said Bar-Yoshafat would address Israel’s “international legal challenges” and whether or not it is violating international law and the rules of wartime conduct.The post adds that Bar-Yoshafat was to speak on how the IDF can better protect civilians, as well as issues of “perception and ideology” for Israel. A post from campus group Bears for Palestine urged students to protest the lecture, calling Bar-Yoshafat’s message “propaganda.”During the protest, the group chanted messages like “Long live the intifada,” “Hey hey, ho ho, the occupation has got to go” and “Killers on campus.” The crowd marched from Wheeler Hall at 6:00 p.m., to Zellerbach, where they were met by UCPD.By 6:30 p.m, protestors had crowded side entrances to the building.Officers struggled with the group at a side door of Zellerbach, one of them pushing a protester. UCPD officers stationed in Haas Pavilion moved towards the main entrance at 6:40 p.m.Speakers gave closing remarks, thanking protesters and emphasizing how the event was shut down despite a last-minute location change from Wheeler to Zellerbach and UCPD presence.”Justice is our demand and if we don’t get it we will shut it down,” said a speaker, echoed by protestors’ chants.
