Via Romeu Monteiro:
A Portuguese student told Romeu Monteiro about an event he helped organize at his public college campus in Lisbon in February 2016:
"We were locked inside with the demonstrators on the other side of the door screaming "Hamas! Hamas!" and they would not go away.
It was anti-Semitic: the topic of the talk we organized was not Israel, it was Portuguese-Jewish heritage.
The dean forbade police from coming on campus to remove the demonstrators. After a while we had to activate the emergency plan to evacuate.
6 body guards surrounded the Israeli Ambassador and we also had to protect Esther Mucznik [a prominent Portuguese Jewish leader/speaker].
Some people were actually trying to physically attack them, we had to push them. The demonstrators were mostly radical leftist students."
