Zoom Refuses Service to University Planned Discussion With Convicted Terrorist – By Elle Bufkin (Townhall) / Sept 23 2020
Leading video conferencing service Zoom has seen a year of success and growth as it has made its services indispensable during the time of social distancing during the Wuhan coronavirus pandemic. But while Zoom maintains its position as a non-political conduit that brings voices together in a virtual world, there are a few conversations it simply refuses to take part in.
San Francisco State University managed to find one of those conversations when they began advertising an upcoming discussion with convicted terrorist Leila Khaled, a leading member of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, which has been designated by the United States and many other countries as a terrorist organization. The discussion, “Support Whose Narratives? Gender, Justice, & Resistance: A conversation with Leila Khaled,” was scheduled to take place on Wednesday via Zoom.
Activist group End Jew Hatred organized a protest at the Zoom headquarters in San Francisco earlier this week to bring attention to the fact that Zoom could be in violation of federal laws by hosting the conversation, advertised by SFSU as an educational roundtable discussion.
“Leila Khaled is a racist Jew hater, extremist and terrorist,” a Facebook event page for ‘End Jew Hatred on Zoom’ said. “She is a leader of the PFLP, a designated terrorist organization. Khaled is banned from entering the USA because of her murderous extremism and promotion of ideals that lead to mass extermination. Yet she is being invited to teach students at SFSU on Zoom, and is targeting Jewish students on campus. SFSU is using Zoom to illegally spread Jew hatred in the form of Leila Khaled. This must stop.”
