On Friday, eleven Muslim students will be arraigned on criminal charges after they repeatedly heckled an Israeli ambassador speaking at UC Irvine. If convicted, they face up to six months in prison. Heckling is common on college campuses: so why are these students being singled out?

  • The students were wrong to prevent a speaker invited to the campus from speaking and being heard. And the MSU acted inappropriately in coordinating this and in misrepresenting its involvement to University officials.

    Next time protest outside. Let people who want to hear a lecture hear a lecture and determine if the speaker's ideas have merit or not. Don't make that decision for me.

    Drop the charges this time. Nothing will be gained by keeping this in the news.

  • 1:57 "From my perspective, what they did was right." Your perspective is entirely irrelevant to the law. From my perspective, I would love to shut down a speech by G. Bush or yell during his political meeting. But the LAW does not allow that. I dislike Oren as much as anyone else for his actions in Gaza, but these folks here could have been CIVIL and addressed question professionally during Q-A, or hold protests outside, like sophisticated people. NOT looms jumping up yelling. Get real

  • I wouldn't count on the current Israeli state existing for long and I don't care what happens in a university in the U.S, I care what's happening overseas in Palestine. People are starting to see how oppressive Israelis are and how much of a military state they've become. Because of all the weapons and equipment they get from America right now, they are probably more powerful then America's military. I don't care if you dont support these students. Just open your eyes and look at whats happening

  • @TheRevolution2k12

    Get into this century. Israel exists and will continue to exist.

    The students acted like a bunch of douchebags. The university handled it.

    The DA didn't need to push for charges. I do not support the students.

  • @tayoprick Actually most Republicans are fake and most Democrats are fake there are only a few true American politicians left and Ron Paul is leading them.

  • @TheRevolution2k12 next your gonna tell me that Ronnie Paul is a real politician but the all the republications are fake.

    HA HA HA HA ha ha ha ha hahahahahahahahahahaha

  • @tayoprick Wow how the hell is that anything like that? Have you ever met a true Orthodox Jew and a Zionists? If you did you would know they are COMPLETELY DIFFERENT. Orthodox Jews are the only real Jews left. They know Israel is a country that goes against their religious beliefs. Zionists THINK because "their" people lived there thousands of years ago they deserve the land of the Palestinians. Orthodox Jews actually care about their religion while Zionists only care about politics not religion

  • @TheRevolution2k12 HAHAHA your analogy is priceless !!

    It's like your saying you hate all politicians but love democrats and republications

    HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

  • @tayoprick Ok well if you stop being retarded for one second you could see I said I hate ZIONISTS AND HAVE NO HATE FOR JEWS LIKE I FREAKIN SAID YOU IDIOT. OH MY GOD YOU ARE DUMB I CLEARLY SAID I'VE NEVER HATED JEWS, WHO THE VIDEO SAYS THEY HATE. THE IRVINE 11 JUST HATE ZIONISTS.. WE HATE ZIONISTS WHICH IS COMPLETELY DIFFERENT FROM HATING JEWS. ALL THOSE PEOPLE IN THAT ROOM ARE NOT JEWS THEY ARE ZIONISTS. THESE ZIONISTS TRY TO USE RELIGION IN POLITICS TO TAKE LAND FROM PALESTINIANS.

  • @TheRevolution2k12 Fucking LIAR The very first post you made included Jews. This video is NOTHING about Jews, it is about a group of Muslims who were rude and interrupted a speech, YOU are the one who started posting the hate for Jews. Your trying to justify your hate for Jews by saying "oh it's a different type of Jews but I dont hate Jews..." asshole.

    Other peoples land? LOL... Palestine never existed stupid ass, they are nothing but a bunch of Arab squatters.

  • @tayoprick Wow man thank you for proving a point. I NEVER ONCE IN THE WHOLE COMMENT MENTIONED JEWS. I said I hate ZIONISTS. These people are ZIONISTS. They are not true Jews. The real Jews are the Orthodox Jews that know the Torah forbids them from taking over other peoples land, which the ZIONISTS did to Palestine. These Zionists pigs only care about politics they don't care about religion. And I don't stand behind Jesus, especially the person you thought Jesus was. He was a prophet ,not god.

  • @TheRevolution2k12 ahh.. your hatred for the jews oozes from your text like a bad case of diarrhea

    and you hide behind Jesus... LOL .... but stand for NOTHING he taught
