Palestine: Code Pink protesters beaten and arrested by Israeli police outside university during Netanyahu speech
17-06-2009
By Col. Ann Wright
While Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was making a major foreign policy speech at Bar-Ilan University in Jerusalem Sunday, Israeli police outside the university attacked international protesters who challenged Israel's invasion of Gaza, illegal settlements and the apartheid wall.
Heavy-handed police treatment of the unarmed, peaceful members of the Code Pink delegation began immediately after they unfurled several pink banners that read "Free Gaza" and "End the Occupation." Code Pink co-founder Medea Benjamin and New York activist Zool Zulkowitz were physically dragged across the street from their original protest site next to the entrance gate to Bar Ilan University where audience members and press entered the university complex to attend the speech
Several hours later, a French journalist and member of the Code Pink delegation, was arrested as she crossed a small street in an attempt to take photos of the demonstration. As she was placed in an Israeli police car, several members of the delegation converged to determine why the journalist was being held.
Israeli police and military violently shoved the group back into a wall. Delegation member Tighe Barry from Santa Monica, Cali. was struck in the face with the butt of a military rifle and pushed to the ground where he could barely breathe. He was taken by ambulance to the Trauma Center of Tal-Hashomer hospital in Tel Aviv where he was treated for a concussion, an injured neck and an asthma attack. Benjamin and several other delegation members were bruised in the arms and upper body from being shoved and manhandled by the police and military.
The journalist was taken to a local police station and released an hour later without charges. Mr. Barry was treated overnight at the hospital.
They have lost their significance just like Sheehan (who?)
The best laugh I’ve had all day!
Idiots on parade! or as the Israeli security forces refer to them, riot practice .. dumb basturds! Code Black and Blue
I love a happy ending!
I really, really, really hope that there’s a Youtube vid of this! I need a good laugh!
“Heavy-handed police treatment of the unarmed, peaceful members of the Code Pink delegation began immediately”
No leftist is “peaceful.” They are the vectors Satan uses to spread evil.
My heart is not breaking for those commie pukes.
Why would Israel let Code Pink in the country? Doesn’t sound right.
Please tell me this is on YouTube!
I wish the Jews had allowed pictures....I need a good laugh!
I wonder how Ms Benjamin got into the country?
Knowing who she is and what she is about, I would have
expected the Border Police to turn her right around and
send her back to NY on the next flight. Maybe she snuck in from Jordan..
LOL How ironic.
What, they thought they could do protest outside USA?
LOL
Memo to the anti-semitic commies in pink: Israel withdrew from Gaza four years ago. ...and the place predictably became a rocket-launching pad shortly thereafter. Try to keep up.
“Israeli police and military violently shoved the group back into a wall. Delegation member Tighe Barry from Santa Monica, Cali. was struck in the face with the butt of a military rifle and pushed to the ground where he could barely breathe.”
Now there’s some news footage I’d like to see...for a change.
Remember Chicago in 1968? Cops cracking heads as far as the eye could see. Why did we ever stop doing that?
assuming she arrived at BG Airport...
coverage by the wire services has been next to nil re: this latest CP adventure,, maybe if one of ‘em gets lost in a mine field or chased by a tank, someone would pay more attention.. hmmm, maybe NKorea would welcome them, just drop ‘em off at the border ... hmmmm.
Jeers to Code Pink for supporting Palestinian terrorists and continuing their campaign of lunacy throughout the world.
Cheers to the IDF and Israeli Police for removing the terrorist sympathizers (and all around morons) Code Pink with force.
The Jewish members of Code Pink are like the Kapos in the death camps. They are against their own people, and if they ae successful, they too would be killed by the same people they are helping.
Couldn't have happened to a nicer bunch of people. Really.
(snicker...)
They have been in the Mideast for quite some time.
I have been monitoring them for years, and was glad to see that they are going places where the get treated with the “respect” they deserve.
I doubt they will have much impact when they get back over here, if they are able to limp to an airport.
Give em a whack for me. And then another and another.
Why would Israel let Code Pink in the country? Doesn’t sound right.

Maybe so they can beat the living snot out of them?
Amen!
WOOT!
Code Pink = 0
Mossad = 1
Have to start somewhere.
But bear in mind it is on a codepink sycophant you tube site, so it is sympathetic to the traitorous anti-American anti-Israel little cretins.
The pink men keep crying, "Keep you hands off of the women."
As if any real man would want to touch one of them. I've been up close many times, and they are gross specimens of the opposite sex.
Disobeying Israel authorities don't get you a pass just because you appear to be female.
can anyone get pictures of this to post?
There are some here

“leftists are.. the vectors Satan uses to spread evil”
A truer description of these people has never before been spoken.
Thank you for this addition to my lexicon.
Vector: the vehicle by which deadly plagues are spread.
Israeli police get all the fun!
Best news all day.

Where was the bulldozer when it was needed!
I was focused on the beating part, the arresting part would be a downer...
Heh heh...yup
There, that identifies the group properly.
“Adding comments has been disabled for this video.”
No surprise there. Any YT vid where Islamists and commies are taking bigtime heat on the message board is bound to get pulled.
I’d pay a quarter to see this on YouTube.
Then you only have to give me a dime
: > )
I’d like to see a hairy,smelly goat have his way with Medea Benjamin.On second thought,there are things even a goat won’t eat.
Cheers!

Hmmm. I didn’t see anybody being “beaten.” I just saw some idiots acting like they were hurt.
WTF is that?!?
Unfortunately.
USS McKinney comes to mind. Best news of the day.
Cool. I like it. We should try that here at home...
