On September 9th, 2002, Israeli Prime Minister Bejamin Netanyahu was scheduled to speak at Concordia's Hall building. The speech never happened. Protestors turned out in waves to block the event's attendees. Classes were cancelled, police pepper sprayed students, and 5 were arrested. It's now known as the Netanyahu "riot."

This episode is part 2 of that story.
