LOS ANGELES (JTA) As a member of the Israeli military who frequently speaks on Israels behalf, Ran Bar-Yoshafat is used to being heckled by anti-Israel protesters, especially on college campuses.

But he says what happened to him at the University of California, Berkeley this week where a planned appearance was canceled because of a protest that turned violent was on a different level.

Theyre giving [a] prize to the violent side, and basically shutting down the person who wants to speak, Bar-Yoshafat told the Jewish Telegraphic Agency. I didnt get a chance to even say, Hello, my name is Ran.

Bar-Yoshafats scheduled appearance on Thursday at Los Angeles Holocaust museum, three days after the Berkeley incident, took place without interruption although several dozen protesters amassed outside and later clashed with pro-Israel demonstrators who arrived.
