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.<\/p>\n
The resolution that the CUNY Professional Staff Congress (PSC) International Committee passed last week that 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.<\/p>\n
Khaled played a critical role in two airplane hijackings as a member of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), aU.S.-designatedterrorist organization. The Israeli Shin Betconsidersher part of the Jordanian command of the PFLP.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
In a statement, the Lawfare Project stated that this resolution was passed so that CUNY PSC could set up a committee and begin fundraising against our efforts to keep terrorists and Jew-hatred off campuses. In doing so, this fringe union has declared war on the Jewish community.<\/p>\n
