That Iraqi man has really started a trend. After the Israeli ambassador to Sweden was attacked with shoes, now it was time for another Israeli representative.

[A new icon?]

Ron Edelheit was the Israeli army’s spokesman during the Gaza offense. He traveled to the Neatherlands to convince the Dutch that killing over 400 children was, contrary to what decent people may think, actually a good think. One would think if it were so good, why would it need a spokesperson?

His initially speech location was changed at the last minute due to security concerns. But that did not stop protesters from following Edelheit to the Apollo Hotel in Amsterdam. Those persistent sons-of-bitches!

While speaking two men and one woman - described by police as being in their twenties - three shoes in Mr. Edelheit’s direction. They were promptly escorted out of the room and arrested.

Fifty additional people protested outside the arena in a peaceful manner.
