LOS ANGELES (KNX 1070 NEWSRADIO) -- Things weren't very diplomatic for Israel's Ambassador, when he tried to give a speech last night at UC Irvine. Twelve people were arrested after Ambassador Michael Oren was shouted down some ten times by protesters.
Oren spoke to about 500 people about U.S-Israeli relations, and there was heavy security. Before the speech, the UCI Muslim Student Union sent out an e-mail criticizing Oren's appearance. At least 9 of the people arrested were UCI students, but it's not known if they belonged to the Muslim group.
