The Investigative Project on Terrorism is reporting that the disruption of Israeli Ambassador Michael Oren's speech at UC-Irvine on February 8th was a planned event according to e-mails purported to be from the campus Muslim Student Union.

If this report is accurate, it would call into question the MSU's denial that the disruptions were part of an MSU-coordinated action. The MSU has claimed that the disruptions were spontaneous by individuals acting on their own. This is a point of contention since the on-going UCI internal review might consider sanctions against the MSU as a campus organization in addition to those being considered against the specific students.

Gary,
For what my opinion is worth IPT
has been very accurate when they
post something. They usually do
not leave anything to chance or
any loose ends.
Mr. Patriot . . . U.C. Irvine Muslim Club is intolerant to the core. The insult to Israel was out of place, crude, and typical of the club. The time for the protest was before and after the event. Disrupting the speaker DURING his presentation was WRONG.
Bumps,
Agreed and Oren was treatedly horribly. If you go to gary's blog
Fousesquawk(there is a link
on the left hand side bar of
this blog) he has a running
history of this and other
incidents at UC Irvine. The
MSU has a poor track record
at many other schools in regard
to how pro Israeli speakers or
counter jihadists are treated.
