Former US Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi was interrupted by several pro-Palestinian protesters while speaking at the University of Oxford on Thursday, April 25, as more demonstrators chanted outside.

Video from the group Youth Demand, which described Pelosi as a “warmonger,” shows a demonstrator walking up to the podium inside the Oxford Union and unfolding a Palestinian flag, as onlookers boo him. In the video, Pelosi appears to keep speaking as the protester stands in front of her, still holding the flag, accompanied by a second person.

The two protesters were removed by police after standing in front of Pelosi for the duration of her speech, the university’s student newspaper reported.

Pelosi was being hosted by the Oxford Union as it voted for a motion, "This House believes populism is a threat to democracy,” the student paper reported. Credit: Youth Demand via Storyful

Hamas will be destroyed in Rafah, against the wishes of the West
Hamas’s agreement on Monday to a ceasefire deal that was never on the table was yet another ruse to buy time and build international pressure to halt a major IDF operation in Rafah. It was a sign of the terrorists’ desperation to prevent the destruction of their final stronghold. An IDF move into Rafah has been delayed far too long. It is the result of months of fruitless negotiations over release of hostages that never showed any sign of materialising. Yet Israel had little option than to play

'Racist' actions from counterprotesters at University of Mississippi prompt investigation
The University of Mississippi has opened an investigation into one student's conduct at a May 2 counterprotest surrounding a pro-Palestinian demonstration after administrators were made aware of "offensive, hurtful, and unacceptable" actions "that conveyed hostility and racist overtones," according to school officials. In a letter to students on May 3, Chancellor Glenn F. Boyce said school officials are working to determine whether further investigations are warranted.
