Anti-Israel students interrupted a speech by former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi at an elite UK university Thursday — later calling her a “warmonger” while warning they “aren’t f–king around anymore.”
The 84-year-old California Democrat was speaking to the Oxford Union when the two smartly dressed students stood up in front of the congresswoman with a Palestinian flag, with others booing when they realized what was happening.
Pelosi — who called for peace in Gaza during her speech — continued trying to speak as the pair awkwardly stood in front of her at the podium, before they were booted by police, with the audience now applauding at their removal, according to the Telegraph.
The group Youth Demand shared video footage while taking credit for the unwelcome interruption.
“Warmongers like Nancy Pelosi are not welcome on University campuses,” the group wrote, with video showing other members outside “end the genocide”
“When children are being murdered, and hospitals are being bombed, we will not sit down and be quiet while these people are given platforms.”
“We must stand up and take action, because we aren’t f–king around anymore.”
During her speech, Pelosi had told the elite student union that “the suffering of Gaza must stop,” the Telegraph noted.
“We want peace on both sides. Both sides must agree to it.”
The interruption to Pelosi’s speech at Oxford came as colleges and universities across the US faced their own protests on their campuses.
In New York, Columbia University and NYU have continued to be plagued by anti-Israel protestors that have set up encampments on the campuses.
On Thursday, the University of Southern California announced the it’s “main stage” graduation ceremony was canceled after it’s campus was overrun by protestors.
