Spain: BDS activists attack Israeli ambassador, disrupt speech at university

The anti-Israel Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement continues to rear its ugly head in university campuses across Europe. On Wednesday, an angry mob of BDS activists attacked Israel’s ambassador to Spain as she attending an event at Madrid university, forcing the security guards to draw their weapons and evacuate the envoy to safety.

A video clip posted on Twitter show anti-Israel agitators lunging at armed bodyguards protecting Ambassador Rodica Radian-Gordon, Israel’s first female Israeli envoy to Spain. The “ambassador was taken to a safe room by Israeli and local security guards, and one even pulled out his weapon and pointed it at the activists,” the Israeli broadcaster Arutz Sheva reported.
