\r\n\tD.C. Activists disrupted a speech by former Zionist regime’s Prime Minister Ehud Olmert pointing to his role in authorizing the 2008-2009 Israeli invasion of Gaza that killed around 1,400 people, including women and children.
\r\n\tOlmert was invited to speak at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars in Washington, D.C. on Israel-Palestine relations, the war on Syria, and Israel's tension with Iran.
\r\n\tDuring Olmert's speech, community and student activists stood up, revealed facts, statistics, and personal experiences relating to Israel's occupation of the Palestinian territories and then walked out the conference hall.
\r\n\tA young audience member wearing a black Students Against Israeli Apartheid (SAIA) shirt called out, "I'm appalled that the Wilson Center would host a war criminal such as yourself. Be sure that the international community will hold you accountable for your war crimes."
\r\n\tHe walked to the back of the room, where another young man holding a Palestinian flag joined him.
\r\n\tOlmert continued with his speech when another young man in a SAIA shirt interrupted and shouted, "To hell with you! Free my people, free Palestine!"
