"Shimon Peres, you're a war criminal!" say Oxford students

Despite the decision of British elites to honor the Israeli president, protestors' disgust has reached the eyes and ears of the Israeli public. Even the website of Israeli daily Haaretz showed clips of one particular intervention. Halfway through the lecture, Abdel Razzaq Takriti, a Palestinian graduate student at Oxford's Wadham College, Oxford was ejected from the hall. "Shimon Peres was making a particularly offensive remark claiming that 'you [Palestinians] could have had a state if it wasn't for your own mistakes' and that Israelis fought for their state," he told this writer, who was also participating in the protest. He then stated "We don't need your permission to exist" and got support from other students for it. Takriti explained: "So I stood up and walked towards [Peres], saying, 'how dare you say this at a time when you are besieging 1.5 million people in Gaza? 1.5 million people are starving to death! Shimon Peres, you're a war criminal. You are responsible for the massacre of hundreds of people in Qana [southern Lebanon]. You're responsible for an apartheid state. Shame on you.' so I was dragged out."
