ISRAELI AMBASSADOR GETS THE SHOE IN SWEDEN!:
2/4/09

A shoe was thrown at Israel’s Ambassador to Sweden, Mr. Benny Dagan, when
He was giving a speech at Stockholm University today. The shoe hit its target. It was followed by two books and a note pad, all hitting the severely embarrassed ambassador.
The two protesters, a young woman and a young man, shouted “Murderers!” And “Intifada!” while pelting Dagan with the objects. They are currently under arrest, suspected of assault and public disturbance.

The lecture was organized by the Foreign policy association at Stockholm
