  1. Yeah, I got to 7 minutes in and things didn't get any better. Listen, this kind of behaviour HURTS the cause it doesn't benefit it. No one sitting in the audience who wasn't a protestor changed their mind towards the Palestinian cause on the basis of those protestors. If anything it is far more likely they turn away from the cause. Those people do no good. They come off as unhinged and that's precisely why Clinton has a smug smile on her face. They benefit her. They make the propaganda seem more reasonable because it's stated by calm people talking rationally not emotional people screaming from the audience and being led out. If you want to yell out in a propaganda event, it's far more effective if you remain seated, and without any emotion you ask a genuine, rational question about something they just said which causes them to contradict themselves or become flustered. It's important when doing so to remain respectful, so if they say no questions you say that's ok when will I be allowed to ask. If they say there won't be any questions today then you grab your belongings and leave. If you have enough people doing that and leaving, you get others who start questioning and leaving too.
