The problem with this is that for the most part they consisted of little Englanders , the middle class shire types who suffered from stage fright when their turn came . Mainly late middle age ladies who had probably done their share at Greenham Common in the 70s , they simply lacked the zealotry of their leaders . <br />Security was robust , and no sooner was a flag or banner raised , security pounced , ripped the offending article away and without ceremony expelled the protestor . <br />Three women standing next to me gave themselves away with nervous body language which enabled me to report my suspicions to security . <br />Sure enough they began to go into action , but the one with the concealed flag could not fully extract it from under her dress before she was seized and ejected from the theatre . Her friends went relatively quietly . <br />I literally bumped into Greenstein as he was attempting to sneak in during the interval . Having been identified , he literally went berserk . He barged past me but was set upon by three burly security men and handed over to the police for questioning . All the while he had this bizarre grin . Maybe he was on medication . No doubt he was ruing his missed opportunity to disrupt . <br />A truly ugly and wretched individual <br />Second night was an even bigger bds fail if that was possible . <br />Habimah were great and both nights received 5 min standing ovations . <br />Well done to all involved in security and spotting the gutter snipes that comprise the bds and their associate fascists and racists in the pscHarveynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-971541537715440752.post-35856049813851243182012-05-31T04:01:07.268+10:002012-05-31T04:01:07.268+10:00Thanks, Ian.

They said they didn’t as it was a matinee and they had work commitments. They must have conveniently failed to spot the Saturday performance at 7.30pm then; proof, if ever it was needed, that PSC activists don’t give a damn about the Palestinians.”<br />http://richardmillett.wordpress.com/2012/05/29/habima-rocks-globe/<br /><br />Desperate anti-Israel boycotters at it again in the UK.
