BDS supporters protest visit of disabled IOF veterans to New Jersey college

Activists of the anti-Israel Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) movement demonstrated against disabled IOF (Israeli Occupation Forces) veterans who were giving a lecture at Stockton University in Atlantic City, New Jersey earlier this week.

The lecture featured two disabled IOF veterans who shared the story of their military service, injury in battle and rehabilitation as part of a cross-U.S. tour of pro-Israeli advocacy group Belev Echad, Yediot Aharnot reported.

The activists tried to block the two speakers from entering the conference room and waved Palestinian flags and photos of those they say were killed in violence in the region while shouting "free Palestine."

Campus security ensured the safety of the event, with protesters surrounding the conference room where they met with campus students.
