Haaretz reports that while giving a speech at the California University, Muslim students predictably went out of their way to be nasty:

California police reportedly arrested 12 people Monday after a speech by Israel's ambassador to the United States, Michael Oren, descended into chaos.

Hecklers interrupted Oren's lecture at University of California, Irvine more than 10 times, shouting "killers" and "how many Palestinians did you kill?"

Oren took a 20-minute break after the fourth protest, only to be interrupted again by young men yelling at him every few minutes, local press reported.

Many members of the audience also applauded Oren.

The arrested students were apparently members of the university's Muslim Student Union, which had publicly condemned Oren's visit earlier in the day.

Just out of curiosity, do these university lectures ever come with security staff to check that the troublemaking students don't bring objects to throw like pies and stones? And do they guard all doors to the auditorium? Or, does the university staff collaborate?

These varsities are a bad lot.

The Jawa Report has a list of those arrested.
