Last Updated, 7:01 p.m. Palestinian students disrupted a dissident Egyptian blogger’s address at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem on Sunday.
The blogger, Maikel Nabil, is a controversial figure in Egypt who now lives in Germany, as The Lede reported on Friday. A member of the country’s Coptic Christian community who describes himself as an atheist and an admirer of Israeli democracy, he was jailed for eight months after the 2011 revolution for a blog post denouncing the military council that ruled Egypt at the time.
As the Gazan blogger Rana Baker reported on Twitter, video posted online showed Palestinian students in the front row of the hall rising to their feet during the speech, shouting: “Shame on you! The Egyptian revolution hates you!”
