(Daily Caller) Harvard University’s Center for Middle Eastern Studies and several other prominent schools are co-sponsoring an event featuring a Palestinian activist who pleaded guilty to conspiracy with a designated terrorist organization.
The event, titled “Teaching Palestine Today: On Zionism,” is hosted by the Gaza in Context Project and National Faculty and Staff for Justice in Palestine and is meant to discuss the question “What have we learned about [Zionism] in the past year+?” One of the speakers, Sami Al-Arian, pleaded guilty in 2006 and was sentenced to 57 months in prison for conspiring to violate federal law by associating with and performing “various services” for the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ), a designated terrorist organization.
