Aliza Lavie, Chair of the anti #BDS lobby in Israel's #apartheid parliament, disrupted several times at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, 20 June 2017.

Here is what MK Aliza Lavie posted before the event:
"Where they burned books.
At the entrance to the University of Humboldt in 1933, German students and lecturers burned tens of thousands of books of Jews and opponents of the Nazi regime.
Today, 2017, at this very moment, Holocaust survivor Dvorah Weinstein, along with a young delegation of Yesh Atid and MK Aliza Lavie, has come to talk to students and lecturers from the same university to tell our truth and to fight the lies of the BDS organizations.
The place is the same place, the lies are the same lies, and anti-Semitism still grunts evil and hatred. But this time we will not be silent. We will carry on fighting the lies and anti-Semitism.
Dvorah, we're proud of you!"

And here is what self proclaimed journos like Benjamin Weinthal and Hezki Baruch had claimed, respectively, following the event: "Twenty BDS activists stormed the talk" and that "At the end of the event, 20 BDS activists were waiting outside, so Lavie and the members of the delegation were taken out through the back exit and were accompanied by security".

The facts, however, are very different and may also be verified in this video:
1. There were only three protesters rather than twenty people as reported in German and Israeli media - two Israelis (read: citizenship="Israeli";nationality="Jewish") and one Palestinian. But in a Weinthal kind of reality you cannot give equal value to people - Israeli-Jews vs. the rest of the world - so it must have added up to something like this:
(2 Israelis x 10) + (1 Palestinian x 0) = 20...

2. Once the protest has ended, all three protesters have left campus. Therefore, the alleged security concerns are fictitious by their very nature, let alone the fact that the university security personnel were not at all bothered by the protesters presence before, during and after the incident.

3. The action was not directed at the Yesh Atid political representative Ms. Dvorah Weinstein. In fact, MK Lavie was the only person to have spoken in the event up to the time of the intervention. The protesters have also explicitly addressed MK Lavie by name.
