(Jerusalem Post) Law students of the class of 2025 at the Free University of Brussels (ULB) voted last week to name their class after controversial politician Rima Hassan, the rector of the university announced on Thursday.
Hassan is a French-Palestinian politician with the La France Insoumise (LFI) party. She has, on many occasions, said that Hamas’s cause is legitimate and has made statements such as that the Bibas family was not murdered; supporting the October 7 Hamas massacre; and arguing that any European Palestinian should be allowed to join the “resistance.”
Hassan was blocked from entering Israel in February 2025 due to her history of anti-Israel activities. Then in June 2025, Hassan, alongside seven pro-Palestinian activists, was detained aboard the Madleen Freedom Flotilla, which tried to reach the Gaza Strip by sea.
