Ken Stein, the director of the Institute for the Study of Modern Israel of Emory University in Atlanta, was speaking on presenting the Jewish and Zionist side of Israel's history at a plenary session at the Intercontinental Hotel when about 15 people entered the room shouting, according to a member of the audience.
Eventually the protesters were ushered out, with some pushing and shoving, the audience member said. They continued their demonstration outside the hotel."
