Rashid Khalidi Heads Pro-PLO Panel in Bashing Israel

Rashid Khalidi

According to a panel of partisans, including Columbia professor and former PLO spokesman Rashid Khalidi, convened recently in Washington, D.C., the answer is a resounding “yes.” Writing for Campus Watch, Andrew Harrod reports on these highly politicized views today at FrontPage Magazine:

Columbia University professor and former PLO spokesman Rashid Khalidi moderated before an audience of around seventy, including Jerusalem Fund director Zeina Azzam.
