Anti-Israel students scream at Israeli Studies Prof. Ami Pedahzur as he urges them to participate in event.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

UT-Austin disruption speech Ami Pedhazur – Protesters Hallway<\/em><\/span>
\n\"UT-Austin<\/p>\n

Yesterday morning we posted about an incident at UT-Austin, in which protesters from the Palestine Solidarity Committee (PSC), led by law student Mohammed Nabulsi, disrupted an event hosted by Professor Ami Pedahzur of UT\u2019s Institute for Israeli Studies. The invited guest speaker was Dr. Gil-Li Vardi from Stanford University.<\/span><\/p>\n

Since then, the dispute has gone national with attempts by PSC and its supporters to get Prof. Pedahzur fired based on an edited video released by PSC.<\/span><\/p>\n

The edited video, however, shows the protesters refusing to leave or to participate, and instead shouting down others and chanting \u201cLong Live the Intifada.\u201d The Intifadas have been the bloody series of uprisings which included suicide bombings (the Second Intifada which led to construction of the security barrier) and the current Knife Intifada which is ongoing. They also chanted \u201cWe want \u201948, we don\u2019t want two states\u201d (a reference to the desire to undo the creation of Israel in 1948).<\/span><\/p>\n

The edited PSC video does not show, contrary to PSC claims, an assault by Prof. Pedahzur; rather, it shows him trying to get the protesters to stop the disruption and to participate in the event.<\/span><\/p>\n

Legal Insurrection has obtained exclusive video of the end of the event from the hallway outside which backs up Prof. Pedahzur\u2019s account.<\/span><\/p>\n

The video starts with the chants (shown at the end of PSC\u2019s edited video). As the protesters move outside, they scream that pre-Independence Jews cooperated with the Nazis, and then they continue their chants. Prof. Pedahzur exits the room into the hallway and again asks the protesters to participate in the event, but they just scream at him some more.<\/span><\/p>\n

The police then arrive, and the protesters continue screaming.<\/span><\/p>\n
