According to Scholar, the school is” under the influence of Muslim state influence.”
Georgetown University’s Qatar school hosted a four-day meeting this week with listeners linked to terrorist organizations.
The meeting, called” Reimagining Palestine”, features listeners tied to Hamas and Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, “both of which are U. S. designated criminal organizations”, the Daily Wire reported.
Some listeners have previously criticized or supported Hamas’s assault on Israel on October 7.
The celebration is part of” Georgetown University in Qatar’s personal Hiwaraat meeting line, which engages scholars, experts, and the public in timely and relevant dialogues on globally significant issues”, according to the event information on the school’s website.
It “aims to advance scientific discussion on Palestine, meaningfully engaging individuals in speech that challenges the status quo and imagines new opportunities for justice and peace,” according to the information.
Georgetown’s Abdullah Al-Arian ( pictured ), who faced criticism for comparing Israel to ISIS, spoke at the event. His father had recently admitted guilt to conspiracies involving the U.S.-designated criminal organization Palestinian Islamic Jihad.
Another speech, Wadah Khanfar, leader of the Al Sharq Forum, is associated with Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood. Promoting material that was apparently supportive of these companies was his prior job as director common of Al Jazeera.
Also, Shawan Jabarin, the common director of the Israeli firm Al-Haq, has relationships to Hamas and the PFLP.
According to the Jerusalem Post, Jabarin trained and recruited people for the Socialist party PFLP, which has been “designated as a criminal business by Israel and around 30 European nations.”
Ghassan Sittah, a plastic surgeon, even spoke at the meeting. He had formerly praised a Hamas operative responsible for Rabbi Raziel Shevach’s murder in 2018. In 2019, Sittah attended a monument to PFLP head Maher Al-Yemani and delivered a speech at the site in 2020.
Speaker Mustafa Barghouti, a Arab lawmaker, said the Oct. 7 strike by Hamas against Israel was “glorious”.
Over a few more listeners have relations to PFLP, have praised the Hamas strike, are linked to extremists, or have made anti-Israel responses.
” Georgetown has long been under the influence of Muslim state influence”, Jonathan Schanzer, senior vice president for analysis at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, told the Daily Wire.
” The terror-sponsoring state of Qatar is a big donor, but it’s definitely not the only one. He claimed that the college is apparently one of the country’s best recipients of Arab funding.
