Analysis / Interpretation / Press / Source

Students at the University of Cambridge protested a talk given by former Israeli prime minister Ehud Olmert at the Judge Business School on Wednesday night, denouncing the former leader as a "war criminal".

According to Varsity, "a poster campaign condemning his [Olmert's] actions and declaring that he is 'not welcome in Cambridge'" was launched ahead of the event.

Olmert, who was convicted of and jailed for accepting bribes and of obstruction of justice, gave a talk entitled 'Israel as a start up nation'.

An email from the Cambridge Judge Business School inviting staff to attend the event, said: "We would like to keep this event low profile and we are not promoting it across the University".
