(Jewish Insider) A discussion scheduled for Tuesday at Georgetown University Law Center featuring a convicted member of the U.S.-designated terrorist organization Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine is being postponed so that the university can “conduct a serious investigation,” Jewish Insider has learned.
The postponement came after both Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Rep. Ritchie Torres (D-NY) condemned the event, which was organized by Georgetown Law Students for Justice in Palestine. In a Monday evening email to a member of Torres’ team who reached out to the Law Center to express concern, a university official said that the administration conveyed to LSJP on Sunday that their event would “have to be postponed so that the University could conduct a thorough investigation into serious safety and security concerns that had arisen in connection with the event.”
