Princeton cancels Three ex-Terrorist program: “too inflammatory.”
Princeton cancels Three ex-Terrorist program: “too inflammatory.”
by Jerry Gordon former U.S. military intelligence officer, writer, activist who lives in Connecticut
After intense deliberations with Princeton University administration an event sponsored by the Princeton Israel Political Action Committee (PIPAC) involving presentations by three ex-terrorists from PLO and Arab gangs was abruptly canceled-a denial of free speech. “Too inflammatory” the university officials said. PIPAC has withdrawn from sponsorship of the program. Arrangements are being made by the organizers for a possible non-university sponsored event at a location to be announced off campus nearby. As you will see in this news release from the program’s organizers, a press conference has been scheduled for December 8th. There are indications that national talk radio, regular and cable TV news coverage may occur on Thursday and Friday in the aftermath of the program's cancellation on the Princeton campus.
At a time of today's Netanya, Israel mall suicide bombing killing five and injuring or maiming dozens the cancellation of the Princeton ex-terrorist event ranks as one of the most untimely and callous decisions by a major university.
This is an elite university that permitted Israel Arab MK Azmi Bishara to speak on campus who traitorously consorted with Israel's enemies in Syria. Princeton also has courted Professor Rashid Khalidi of Columbia University to leave his embattled post on Morningside heights in New York City. Khalidi is the holder of the Edward Said Chair of Middle East History at Columbia who spoke at Princeton in April this year. The Princeton faculty is split in rancorous debate over a possible Khalidi appointment. Princeton is the elite Ivy league university where Transregional Institute sponsored research fellowships for Palestinians to discuss their cultural and national "aspirations" in paid positions on the staff.
The cancellation by Princeton this weekend of the three ex-terrorist program looks like colossal bad timing to many of us given today's coincidental developments of a suicide bombing in Netanya.
Looks like Princeton won't provide equal time for truth.
The Princeton decision may propel the issue of the canceled three ex-terrorist program to the attention of the American public nationally.
Stay tuned for further developments.

Princeton U. Says Campus Event Against Terrorism is “too inflammatory”
PRINCETON, NJ: In clear violation of free speech, Princeton University has cancelled a speaking event by three former Middle East terrorists because it says that the use of the word "terrorist" in the promotion for the event is “too inflammatory.”
The speakers will hold a press conference near the campus on Thursday, Dec. 8, at 6:00 p.m. The location will be announced in an updated media release the morning of the press conference.
“We believe Princeton is creating red tape to stop the event,” said Keith Davies, the executive director of the Walid Shoebat Foundation.
The event organizers planned to bring Walid Shoebat, Ibrahim Abdallah and Zak Anani to the Ivy League school to lecture on the terrorist mindset and how they were indoctrinated into terrorism.
Walid Shoebat is from a prominent family in Bethlehem. After joining the PLO, he took part in numerous acts of violence against Israel including the bombing of a bank. He was also involved in the attempted lynching of an Israeli soldier. Feature stories on Mr. Shoebat have aired on the BBC, FOX News, MSNBC, CBS and have been published in the Telegraph and Calgary Sun.
Zak Anani was a leader of the most notorious Arab gangs prior to Lebanese civil war. Before he age 16, he killed numerous Arabs in gang warfare and hated the West.
Ibrahim Abadallah was born and raised in Dearborn Michigan to a Jordanian father. At 17, he immigrated to Israel, where he joined the PLO. He injured many Israelis while rioting and throwing Molotov cocktails at them.
