Everyone is a terrorist to those assholes. It is part of Israel's terrorist propaganda campaign. They throw out terrorist cards like candy at a blossom time parade.Boycott Islamic terrorists.
Matthew Ramsey, director of university affairs, announces that "at this time, the event in question is postponed pending a safety and security review in accordance with university procedure."
The decision to postpone the event came amid an outcry by Jewish groups, which noted that the PFLP is a designated terror group in both Canada and the United States.
"The PFLP is responsible for terror attacks that resulted in the murder of countless civilians, including a massacre at an Israeli airport where a Canadian citizen was murdered. Therefore, we thank UBC's administration for intervening and postponing the event," said Steven Greenwood, executive director StandWithUs Canada. "It is unfathomable that any student organization would host an event that glorifies terrorism featuring members of a Canadian and American federally recognized terrorist organization and invite them to set foot on UBC grounds where Jews and Israelis who are Canadian citizens attend.

(COMMENT)
When the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) makes these types of calls for violence, the PFLP label themselves as "terrorist" and openly violate International Human Rights Law as well as International Humanitarian Law.
This could be prosecuted under domestic criminal court (non-political military courts) or in military court (Article 68 GCIV).

State practice establishes this rule as a norm of customary international law applicable in both international and non-international armed conflicts. This includes the advocacy, threats and incitement to violence.

Chosen to destroy Israel and kill all Jews?????
Well, that is what the Palestinians keep shouting from their roofs )
The Middle East Studies Association (MESA), which boasts over 2,800 members, has long been a friend of anti-Israel advocacy. The historian Martin Kramer, considering what was on offer at MESA’s 2005 conference, wrote that “for MESAns, the Palestinians are the chosen people, and more so now than ever. More papers are devoted to Palestine than to any other country.” “Paper after paper,” he added, presents an “elaboration of Palestinian nationalist ideology, ‘academized’ into ‘discourse’ by grad students and post-docs who’ve already given stump harangues, organized sit-ins, and written passionate propaganda pieces.”
To learn more about the deep roots of this kind of thing in MESA and the field of Middle East Studies, one does well to read Kramer’s 2001 book on the subject. Yet MESA, whose bylaws not so long ago described it as “nonpolitical” and whose membership includes some principled scholars, have refrained from endorsing the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions movement against Israel. Also in 2005, Ali Banuazizi, then president of the organization, wrote on the Association’s behalf to denounce a boycott of two Israel universities instigated by Britain’s Association of University Teachers. Banuazizi explained that the boycott contradicted “the deep commitment of this association and its membership to the principles of academic freedom and the free exchange of information and ideas.”
So much for that. In 2017, MESA’s membership removed “nonpolitical” from its bylaws. And this year, voters at MESA’s annual conference overwhelmingly passed a resolution that “endorses the 2005 call of Palestinian civil society for BDS against Israel.” A full membership vote is scheduled for next year.

At home, Sassen didn’t hide his political views from his precocious daughter. Father and daughter discussed the war, politics, things that weren’t taught in school. Saskia Sassen proclaimed herself a Communist at age 12. “We were like two little titans having a lot of political debates,” she says. “When it came to politics, we disagreed completely. And he was part of my political education, clearly.”
Sassen signed a statement, published on August 12, 2014 by “American Muslim organizations, academics, Imams, community leaders and activists" who wished to “affirm our unequivocal support for Palestinian rights to freedom and dignity while forcefully condemning the illegal and oppressive occupation structure."
Signatories of the petition wrote that “The Israeli aggression against the civilian population of Gaza hassurpassed all levels of brutality and cruelty" and went on to “Support the BDS Campaign to end occupation."
In December 2010, Sassen authored an article in which she described Gaza as “a site where Israeli forces can experiment with modes of urban warfaregiven the fact of occupation and control over most of the means of survival of the Gaza people. In the process it terrorizes a whole population."
She went on to charge that Israel “has done just about all that is conceivable to destroy it and demoralize a people."
