The American student protests should be a wake-up call. Without a doubt, many of the students protesting Israel’s military action against Hamas in Gaza genuinely care for the plight of the Palestinian civilians being used by Hamas as human shields. However, it is clear that many student protestors are associating with very dark forces. Some of them have even gone so far as to praise Hamas and to openly call for burning Tel Aviv.
Over here in Europe, similar concerns have been raised. Mohammed Khatib is the EU coordinator for Samidoun, an extremist pro-Palestinian organisation. He lives in Belgium, and enjoys ‘refugee’ status. In a webinar on the terror raid on October 7, he stated that it was “a glorious day” that made him proud. Samidoun is considered a front for the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), a Palestinian terror organisation notorious for plane hijackings and assassinations. Terrorists linked to the PFLP were also allegedly involved in the October 7 terror attack.
