I have replaced the video with a much better but longer one. If you are interested in what is happening in the Middle East you will want to listen all of this video.
The Orange County Register:
11 arrested for disrupting Israeli ambassador. Here is part of the text:
Eleven people were arrested Monday evening during a raucous lecture at UC Irvine where Israeli Ambassador Michael Oren came to talk about U.S.-Israel relations. (UCI earlier said that 12 were arrested.)
Here are the identities of the 8 UCI students and 3 UC Riverside students who were arrested.
Oren was interrupted 10 times Monday while trying to give his speech before 500 people at the UCI Student Center, where there was heavy security. Oren took a 20 minute break after the fourth protest, asked for hospitality and resumed his speech, only to be interrupted again by young men yelling at him every few minutes. Many members of the audience also applauded Oren.

That was rather disturbing to watch. Yet in college, no one would dare do such a thing toward Muslims, and rightly so since they have as much right to speak as anyone else. What saddened me the most was how many people cheered the disruptors.
I thought in some cases their cheering was worse, but I think some were cheering that the police escorted the disrupters out.
