ZOOM CANCELS TALK BY HIJACKER

-

After pressure from an American Jewish rights non-profit, Zoom has cancelled a California university-sponsored talk by a convicted Palestinia­n hijacker.

The Department of Arab and Muslim Ethnicitie­s and Diaspora Studies at San Francisco State University announced last month it would host Leila Khaled, pictured, for a talk on “Teaching Palestine.” The Lawfare Project convinced Zoom to cancel the talk.

Khaled is a member of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine.
