thing – over my official tuxedo, I wore a T-shirt that I had brought. It has a picture of Nasrallah with a large X over it and the caption "Your ‘heroic’ terrorist is dead, we killed him"

The debate was “This House Believes Israel is an Apartheid State Responsible for Genocide.” The motion passed 278:59 in favour.

Arguing in favor of Israel were British lawyer Natasha Hausdorff, British journalist Jonathan Sacerdoti, Arab-Israeli activist Yoseph Haddad and ex-Hamas member turned Israeli spy Mosab Hassan Yousef.

On the other side of the debate were US political scientist and anti-Israel activist Norman Finkelstein, Israeli-American activist and author Miko Peled, Palestinian-American author Susan Abulhawa, and Palestinian writer Mohammed El-Kurd.

The debate devolved into a shouting match between the speakers and the audience at one point, and Haddad was removed from the stage after a verbal altercation with attendees.

Norman Finkelstein, ffs. Author of The Holocaust Industry, on how Jews exploit the Holocaust for political and financial gain….

Added: Finkelstein dropped out and didn't attend.
