Regarding the Rania Khalek controversy: If you are an organization that
speaks out against Israeli bombing of heavily-populated civilian areas,
defends reputable human rights organizations that document such war
crimes, and recognizes that the Palestinian resistance is made up of
more than foreign-backed Islamist terrorists, it really hurts your
credibility to provide a forum for those who defend Syrian bombing of
heavily-populated civilian areas, attack reputable human rights
organizations that document such war crimes, and insist that the Syrian
resistance consists of only foreign-backed Islamist terrorists. The UNC
chapter of Students for Justice in Palestine was therefore correct to
cancel Rania Khalek’s talk. It was not a matter of “censorship” or a
“blacklist.” While she certainly has the right to speak, no student
group is obliged to sponsor her. It was an appropriate ethical and
strategic decision and they should not be attacked for it.
