PFLP is nominally a Communist group, but it is wholly tied in to the “Palestinian” jihad. Would CUNY ever rebuke the censorship a foe of jihad violence and Sharia oppression of women, gays, and others? Would CUNY even come close to hosting a virtual event featuring such a person? Come on, man!
“CUNY Passes Resolution Rebuking Censorship of Virtual Event With Terrorist,” JNS.org, December 18, 2020:
JNS.org – The City University of New York (CUNY) committee has passed a resolution that rebuked the censorship of a virtual event a few months ago that featured a documented Palestinian terrorist.
The resolution that the CUNY Professional Staff Congress (PSC) International Committee passed last week bemoaned the video-conferencing platform Zoom, Facebook and YouTube removing a Sept. 23 event being promoted and live streamed, respectively, on their platform called “Whose Narratives? Gender, Justice, & Resistance: A conversation with Leila Khaled.”
Khaled played a critical role in two airplane hijackings as a member of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), a US-designated terrorist organization. The Israeli Shin Bet considers her part of the Jordanian command of the PFLP.
The resolution stated that social media censorship went against the principle of academic freedom. In addition to the aforementioned platforms, the measure also blamed what it called “a pressure campaign organized” by the Anti-Defamation League, the Lawfare Project, StandWithUs and other groups….

; I think they misspelt “CUNY”.
I thought it was spelt with a “T” not a “Y”?

CUNY is just promoting diversity and multiculturalism. After all, Leila Khaled is just
sharing her Oriental Palestinian culture with a Western audience. Isn’t that a good thing?
