Enough with the shoes...

I knew it was wrong to fete the Iraqi shoe-thrower.....

Israel's ambassador to Sweden on Wednesday fell victim to the latest trend in political protest: shoe throwing.

Ambassador Benny Dagan was addressing students at Stockholm University, where he had been invited to speak on the upcoming elections in Israel, when a young woman in the audience hurled a shoe at him, hitting him in the chest.

According to a statement by the International Solidarity Movement (ISM) who had members at the scene, the woman, along with a young man, then shouted "Murderers!" and "Intifada!" while pelting Dagan with books and a notepad.
