Justice Minister Shaked heckled by BDS activists in Vienna
Minister of Justice Ayelet Shaked was heckled during a speech before law students at the University of Vienna by BDS activists who accused her and the State of Israel of apartheid.
During a meeting with law students at Vienna University, BDS activists attempted to disrupt Shaked's speech by accusing the State of Israel and Shaked herself of apartheid.
Shaked answered the hecklers, saying, "I feel bad for you that you are fed lies from the media and the BDS movement. Yelling your lies louder won't make you right.
"Hundreds of people are being butchered everyday in Syria and you're busy with lies about the only democracy in the Middle East. The only country that really cares about human rights."
After the hecklers left the hall, Shaked continued her speech and was thanked by those in attendance, who also explained that the activists represent an extreme minority whose opinions do not reflect those of the majority.
In an interview with Ynet, Shaked said, "I've been asked many times why I take this and why I come to these places. I want to tell all these detractors the truth and I will continue to say it, even if I have to deal with disturbances. The days were Jews were afraid to speak are over."
