A recent event at the University of California at Berkeley featuring Religious Zionist Party MK Simcha Rothman was disrupted by demonstrators, causing the event to move online. Rothman addressed various topics including Israel’s war in Gaza, conflict in Lebanon, and campus antisemitism. Despite the protests, Rothman emphasized the need for Israel to defend itself against terrorism and protect its citizens.
During the event, Rothman also discussed the need for legal reform in Israel, particularly regarding security matters during wartime. He criticized the United Nations for denying Israel the right to self-defense against Palestinian terrorism, highlighting the organization’s failure to uphold its founding principles.
Rothman’s passionate remarks shed light on the challenges Israel faces on the international stage and the ongoing threats to its security. The event at Berkeley sparked important conversations about the complexities of the conflict and the need for diplomacy and legal reform.
