News about Leila Khaled

There is a Zionist reporter in the crowd. Do not answer her questions.' These chilling words echoed out of a public address system at the protest camp at University College London on Monday. Almost as one, a crowd of more than 100 flag-waving pro-Palestine demonstrators turned round and stared at me. This turned out to be only the first incident in a sinister week-long campaign of intimidation as I visited a raft of the new American-style, anti-Israel encampments sweeping the country.

A Gaza war surgeon from Scotland who praised the terrorist behind the murder of an Israeli rabbi as a 'hero' has been denied entry to France. Dr Ghassan Abu Sittah was due to speak at the French parliament hearing on the Israel-Hamas conflict. The medic was placed in a holding zone in the Charles de Gaulle airport and is waiting to be expelled, according to French senator Raymonde Poncet Monge, who had invited him to speak at the senate. France's refusal to allow the British-Palestinian surgeon to enter the country comes just weeks after he was also banned from entering Germany. The French authorities did not give a reason for their decision to bar the doctor from entering.

A British-Palestinian surgeon who sparked controversy for his comments on the Israel-Palestine conflict said authorities in Germany had refused him entry on Friday, claiming the government was 'silencing a witness to genocide'. Professor Ghassan Abu Sittah, who received backlash after hailing the mastermind behind the 2018 drive-by killing of Rabi Raziel Shevach as a 'hero', said on Twitter/X he had been 'forcibly prevented' from entering the country to speak at a conference 'about my work in Gaza hospitals'. He was due to attend 'The Palestine Conference. We will put you on trial', an event calling for a ceasefire in Gaza, allegedly targeted by German pro-Israel organisations in recent weeks, inspiring calls for it to be banned.

Despite being prosecuted for suspected praising terrorists, a British-Palestinian doctor has been elected rector of the University of Glasgow, causing concern about Jewish students' safety. Dr. Ghassan Abu-Sittah was alerted online by suspicion of 'antisemitic' material and praised the Hamas terrorist behind the assassination of an Israeli rabbi, who was described as a 'hero' by the university's vice chancellor last month. At a memorial service in 2019, the high-profile doctor was seen sitting next to plane hijacker and a member of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, Leila Khaled. On February 29, vice chancellor Professor Sir Anton Muscatelli announced that the University of Glasgow would investigate such suspicions. I have requested our Clerk of Senate, the returning officer for the election of a rector, to investigate,' in response to a letter sent by advocacy group UK Lawyers for Israel.'

The organisers of a Palestine charity fundraiser meal have had to be cancelled due to'security reasons.' Leila Khaled, the event's host, had been scheduled as a guest speaker in a move that had received backlash. Khaled, a Palestinian who portrayed the Hamas militants who carried out the October 7 attack as 'freedom fighters,' and she was the world's first woman to hijack a plane. She was scheduled to attend the Palestine Solidarity Campaign's three-course buffet dinner in Sparkbrook, Birmingham, which was broadcast on YouTube.

Leila Khaled, 79, is expected to attend via video connection at a £25 charity fundraiser organized by the Palestine Solidarity Campaign (PSC), the same group that projected the slogan "from the river to the sea" into Big Ben last month. Khaled, who has been branded by the event promoters as a "veteran Palestinian freedom fighter," will attend the PSC's West Midlands branch's fundraising dinner in Sparkbrook, Birmingham. Her appearance has sparked indignation and fear among Jewish campaign organisations who have described the change as 'terribly troubling.' Khaled remains a member of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, which is classified as a terrorist group by the European Union - the United States, Canada, and Japan - but not the United Kingdom. In an interview last month, she said that Hamas militants did not attack civilians in the horrific October 7 attacks.

A Palestinian 'terrorist' who hijacked two planes and dubbed Hamas soldiers responsible for the October 7 attacks as 'freedom fighters' could land in Australia. Leila Khaled has been named as a keynote speaker at the Ecosocialism conference in Perth hosted by the Socialist Alliance and the Green Left media group in June. However, Jewish-Australian women have expressed their disapproving of entering Australia due to her lengthy history as a key supporter of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine.

On Saturday, Nerdeen Kiswani (pictured) organised a demonstration in Brooklyn that attracted thousands of people. Protesters wished for a "free Palestine," but DailyMail.com can reveal that Hamas' sponsors have consistently supported violent demonstrations. Within Our Lifetime posted a letter on Twitter X on October 7, which called on people to "mobilize to defend the exemplary Palestinian resistance and respect our martyrs." Kiswani, the organization's founder, who has a long tradition of suspected anti-Semitism, shared the letter.

Hatem Bazian, a controversial lecturer in Asian American and Asian Diaspora Studies who has consistently defended terror attacks against Israel and Intifada (uprising) in the United States, founded the Berkeley Bears for Palestine at the University of California. Bears For Palestine (BFP), named after the notoriously leftist school's mascot, is the founding chapter of SJP, a network of pro-Palestinian student organizations across the United States that has been accused of demonizing Jewish students. The organisation issued a statement shortly after Hamas' massacre, killing thousands of Israelis, that it supports 'the resistance, the liberation movement, and indisputably supports the Uprising.' On Friday, they held a vigil for'martyrs in Palestine.'
