UC Davis heckler disrupts other's free speech
On Monday, February 27, a program sponsored by StandWithUs and Chabad entitled "Israeli Soldier's stories" was scheduled at UC Davis. Ran, a Israeli reservist, and Ranya, a Druze woman whose father and brother fought in the IDF maintained their dignity and composure in spite of a consortium of haters from Students for Justice in Palestine, the MSA and JVP who had planned to disrupt their presentation. This young man, Tirumular (Drew) Narayanan, a UC Davis Medieval Studies major repeatedly interrupted the proceedings in a coarse and vulgar manner, while UC Davis security and police stood on and did nothing. This sadly was yet another missed opportunity for dialog.
