An Israeli "expert" humiliatingly kicked out from the University of Amman

"A university official met with the protesters and promised to cancel the Ben-Gurion University lecturer's appearance so as not to disrupt the conference. Protesters bragged they succeeded in cancelling "the Zionist's lecture" on Facebook. Another lecture by an Israeli expert was also canceled, apparently unknown to the protesters.  Dr. Anholt told Ynet he was smuggled out of the university by security guards. "The protesters handed out flyers expressing outrage over the participation of Israeli occupiers in a Jordan conference," he said. "As things heated up security officers eventually had to take us out the back door."    Anholt recounted his feeling of panic as hundreds gathered outside the university. "It was stressful. Leaving out the back is unpleasant," he said. He noted he returned to Israel via the Allenby Bridge.  According to Anholt, the Jordanian conference dealt with anxiety and depression in the Middle East. He had hoped to meet Arab researchers and explore possible collaborations. Despite his unpleasant experience, Anholt hopes he will return to Jordan in a professional capacity."  Look.  After he was kicked out, he still thinks that he can return.  Wait: no, tell him to return.  I think it should be a good idea for him to return.  Jut ask him to notify us about his day and time of arrival so that students can meet him and escort him.  Yes, return, come to think of it. How many humiliations before the Zionists figure out that they are not welcome in our lands?
