On the morning of the event, anti-Israel protesters outside the synagogue “formed a human barricade” and surrounded cars, which attendees were trying to park in the synagogue garage. The disruption followed the “PCC’s playbook for disrupting events” by occurring several times at the symposium, the suit alleged. Another named defendant later threw a vase to the ground and charged at the Israeli consul general and shouted obscenities at him. Security also removed her, and she was arrested for battery of a security guard, according to the suit. Due to the disruption, the synagogue had to close its social service centre, according to the suit.
