another embarrassing moment. Imagine the ignorance and the chlidishness of the adults who protested about Palestine to Bernie Sanders. The questions is whether this level of idiocy is now normal in irish universities.

Shows you the level of unfairness in the country, Trinity got their own heckler-free Bernie talk.
Radical woke starting to eat their own tail.
These Protestors are dumb as rocks. Dude is like the only mainstream democrat who has been consistently calling out Israels BS and Palestinian oppression.
Wow, of all the US politicians to take issue with I would have thought he’d be fairly far down the list.
I swear id never have guessed before covid how popular a hobby protesting would become.
I saw the interview with him on RTE last night and I was impressed. Considering buying his book or more likely use my library card to get it. But seriously he called what was happening in Gaza one of the worst humanitarian events in the modern world. And people are protesting against a slight difference of opinion over Gaza and Israel ?
Ah Bernie’s in town? Would have loved to see him speak he’s about the only one in America who knows wtf is going on and they treat him like a looney old guy.
Braindead dipshits
Some aussie or kiwi twat was shouting crap at him to seem relivent in some small way.. had his camera on to record it aswell which goes to show he couldnt care less about what he was shouting about just that it was recorded so he could stick it up on some social media side to seem like he had more than than single braincell he is obviously left with.
They’ll claim it’s about raising awareness but Gaza has been the main story in the news for over five months, so it’s really about individual hecklers feeding their own egos.
Of all the guys he is the most honourable and principled. Student Union politics has always been immature and ridiculous and is impossible to take seriously when you see this kind of stuff.
Wow the most pro Palestinian Jewish politician and they do this. 😳
€75 to hear this socialist hack speak about the failures of capitalism. How’s the lake house Bernie?
A older man who’s devoted his life to public service in his own country comes here to give a talk and gets heckled because the Israeli government are doing things he’s spoken out against. How’s that fair? Just bloody rude and stupid.
I’m all for protesting but it’s just a attention seeking to a small number of people, how’s shouting Bernie Sanders in Ireland going to help an injured kid in Gazza.
The left eating their own again.
I heard rumours that Zionists are planning to infiltrate pro-Palestine marches worldwide. This could be part of it.
On another note that mic makes it look like he has a massive boil on his cheek.
The perfect symbol of a co opted left..
Ah lads. I’m 25 and Bernie Sanders was getting hauled away by police at protests since before my Mam was even alive. Guy’s been consistently on the right side of history for over 50 years. He might not be as vitriolic about the current issue as they are but I’d bet one of my limbs that he absolutely cares. Also important to note, he’s 82 fecking years of age, it can’t be easy to consistently summon the energy to combat bigotry/injustice
No refunds.
Bernie is such a huge let down in not calling for peace.
He’s one of the politicians most critical of the US government position and Israel’s actions. But he’s Jewish so I guess his personal views don’t matter he’s Jewish and that’s a problem for some
I wish he would have run against Trump instead of Hillary. He would have beaten trump.
They accused him of being a “Zionist”, and we all know what that means in this context.
I mean he does have a soft stance on genocide, but mostly the USSR ones.
Explains the flags and Free Palestine banners on the bridges over the M7 this morning.
Fun fact about the preponderance of red, green, black and white in the flags of nations in the Middle East…”Upon Sykes’s instigation, but not completely according to his wishes, the Foreign Office set up the Arab Bureau in Cairo in January 1916. Sykes designed the flag of the Arab Revolt, a combination of green, red, black and white. Variations on his design later served as flags of Jordan, Iraq, Syria, Egypt, Sudan, Kuwait, Yemen, the United Arab Emirates and Palestine, none of which existed as separate nations before the First World War.[18]”
Mark Sykes is of the Sykes-Picot Agreement fame, the secret agreement between GB and France to divvy up the Middle East into spheres of influence. It seems Arab nationalism had its roots in British imperialism…

The genocide word is over used and misunderstood.
