http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2011/05/24/protester-who-heckled-netanyahu-in-congress-allegedly-beaten-arrested-at-hospital/CODEPINK activist Rae Abileah was arrested at the George Washington University Hospital in Washington D.C. after heckling Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, according to the anti-war group.
The 28-year-old Jewish American woman was allegedly tackled by members of the American-Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) during Netanyahu's speech to Congress after she yelled, "stop Israeli war crimes."

and as she was being thrown the fuck out, Benjamin said this,
"You know I take it as a badge of honor, and so should you, that in our free societies that you can have protest," Netanyahu said after being interrupted by Abileah. "You can't have these protest in the farcical parliaments in Tehran or in Tripoli. This is real democracy."

So what democracy Ben? One that gets you beat down and arrested for protesting? Certainly not the decorum someone would expect in the middle of your speech, but never-the-less, protest without a doubt.
