The "Irvine 11" who received criminal convictions for the manner in which they prevented Israeli Ambassador Michael Oren from speaking.

Have you ever been to a pro-Palestinian rally? Have you ever attempted to have a conversation with those people? Have you seen the grotesque treatment of Ambassador Oren by Palestinian students at UC Irvine?

I think those Palestinians were exercising their free speech big time, and I believe we must do the same. Because there is no discernible difference between the ultimate aim of the “Irvine 11” and Butler-Khalidi. They want me dead and gone.
