Former Israeli Prime Minister Greeted By Hundreds Of Protesters
Minneapolis, MN — Former Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett visited Minneapolis on June 6 to speak at a banquet for the Center of the American Experiment, a right-wing think tank based in the suburb of Golden Valley. Around 100 people initially gathered to protest the visit and by the end of the night 300 protesters were outside the Depot. Five people were arrested for reportedly spray painting the street.
Unicorn Riot heard from a Palestinian organizer during the protest outside the private event and documented event attendees flipping off protesters.
Activists opposed the private event because of Bennett’s past actions in the Israeli government and continued statements against Palestine.
