The Oxford shame continues. From Jewish News:

Former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert was prevented from speaking at the Oxford Union on Sunday, after protestors blocked the entrance to the debating society’s building, as well as invading the union’s premises itself.

Security were forced to physically eject protestors from the union’s grounds, with the entire event cancelled as a result. Some of the anti-Israel protestors present, had painted their hands red to symbolise the accusation that those attending the event had “blood on your hands”.

But that’s not what it means in pro-Palestinian circles.

For those with actual knowledge of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, however, red hands symbolise the lynching of two Israelis by Palestinians in the West Bank during the second intifada, with one of the murderers holding up bloodied hands to the acclamation of crowds outside the building where the killings took place.

[See here for the gruesome details.]

Those ejected from the building screamed about “complicity in genocide” and chanted the “from the river to the sea” slogan. Olmert has been a vocal public critic of the current Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu.

They don’t care, the demonstrators. He’s a Zio, isn’t he?
