The @UofDenver prestigious Korbel School is co-sponsoring a 5-day conference in Turkey alongside terror-linked NGOs & a host of sketchy guest speakers (one of whom meets regularly w/Hamas officials & was selected last year to serve as a member of its “leadership abroad”)😮😮

The conference is being hosted by CIGA, founded by ex-USF prof Sami Al-Arian (who pled guilty in 2006 to providing material support to the US-designated terror org PIJ and was deported to Turkey). Al Arian will also speak at the conference — along w/quite a few 🇺🇸-based faculty

Another co-sponsor is GCQP whose Sec. General is a former leader of the Al-Quds International Institution (designated & sanctioned by the @USTreasury in 2012 as “acting for/on behalf of Hamas”). Seriously, @UofDenver do you really want your logo next to it?
Such a bad look 😩😩

Nearly a dozen 🇺🇸-based faculty are slated to participate in the conference (#shocker: mostly they teach at California campuses). They’ll appear on the program w/key leaders in Al-Awda, PYM & several affiliates of Al Haq—all three orgs have documented links to terror groups ☹️

Of course, the not-really-Jewish & not-very-peaceful Jewish Voice for Peace wouldn’t miss an online conference bringing Hamas, PFLP, PIJ supporters together from around the world! The chairperson of JVP’s lobby arm will also present #shameful

Everyone asks how radical, virulently anti Israel 🇮🇱 & anti Zionist narratives & propaganda reach 🇺🇸 campuses. Part of the answer is conferences like these, made so much easier to organize in online platforms. The hate circles back from here into the classroom & onto the quad 😞
