(Free Beacon) Rutgers University and San Francisco State University are set to host a discussion panel on the Sept. 11 attacks that will feature speakers with sympathies for terrorists. Several organizations that will cosponsor the event have also praised terrorists and voiced anti-Semitic and anti-Israel views.
One of the 10 speakers at the event, which is scheduled to take place on the 20th anniversary of the attacks, has been convicted of assisting terrorists. Sami Al-Arian in 2006 pleaded guilty to providing services to Palestinian Islamic Jihad, a Hamas-aligned terror group that has killed dozens of Israeli civilians and soldiers.
Rabab Abdulhadi, another panelist, is a San Francisco State professor who hosted Palestinian terrorist and hijacker Leila Khaled at a university event last year. During a failed hijacking of an Israeli flight in 1970, Khaled reportedly rolled a grenade in the plane in an attempt to kill passengers.
