Cops step in as Gaza protest hits Nancy Pelosi’s Oxford speech

On X, the campaign group called her a “genocide sympathizer” and a “warmonger”.

The protesters remained quietly for Pelosi’s entire 20-minute speech before police removed them.

The former speaker seemed unfazed, signaling support for the right to protest — and his own Democratic Party recently waved Ukrainian flags in Congress to celebrate the passage of a major aid bill.

Speaking through a microphone accompanied by chants from outside the building, Pelosi told students that Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin “must go” and stressed that “the suffering of Gaza must stop.”

Pelosi recently joined fellow top Democrat Chuck Schumer their argument is In an interview with Ireland’s RTÉ News, he described Netanyahu as “an obstacle to a two-state solution” and said he must step down.

“We want peace on both sides,” he said in Oxford on Thursday night. “Both sides have to agree on this.”

The main event was intended to pit Pelosi against James Schneider, who worked for Labour’s former left-wing leader Jeremy Corbyn. In the end, he dropped out and was replaced by a student.

In the 19th-century union courtyard, a burly security guard explained the uproar to a student. “This is Nancy Pelosi, and a lot of people are not fans of that,” he said.
