For years, I have been writing about San Francisco State University professor Rabab Abdulhadi. In my opinion, she is an unabashed anti-Semite and supporter of terrorist acts against Israel, which she considers "legitimate resistance". She should have been fired from her position at SFSU years ago, but she has been protected by that radical institution masquerading as a university.
Now she is scheduled to speak at Wake Forest University on October 7. This is how Wake Forest is going to commemorate one of the most hideous massacres in human history, by hosting a woman who wholeheartedly supports Hamas and its actions.
To be sure, Wake Forest is not the only university that has invited her to speak over the years. When she was scheduled to speak at UC Irvine in 2015 with her pals from the SFSU General Union of Palestinian Students (GUPS), a group that has openly advocated the murder of Israel soldiers, the audience was told no videotaping was allowed. I refused to comply with that order, and when the dean of students backed me up, Abdulhadi and her little rascals failed to materialize on stage even though there were several chairs set up for them.
To host someone like Abdulhadi is bad enough, but to do it on October 7 is an obscenity. To make matters even worse, it is the Humanities Institute, History Dept., Dept. of Politics and International Affairs, and the Middle East South Asian Studies Program who are sponsoring the event. And how about that National Endowment for the Humanities!
As yet, I see no reporting on this in the Wake Forest campus newspaper, Our Gold and Black.
It may well be free speech under our Constitution, but what a disgrace!
