Jewish leaders slam UPenn for hosting anti-Israel activists in High Holiday period

One of its most prominent speakers is Pink Floyd co-founder Roger Waters, a well-known pro-Palestinian activist who has been repeatedly accused of antisemitism.

Commentator Marc Lamont Hill, another participant, was fired by CNN in 2018 for using the term “from the river to the sea,” a call used by the Hamas terror group to advocate for Israel’s destruction.

Also appearing is Rutgers professor Noura Erakat, who opposes Israel’s existence and has comparedZionism to Nazism; author Randa Abdel-Fattah, who called Israel a “demonic, sick project” and supports its destruction; writer Wisam Rafeedie, who earlier this year praised the 1972 Lod airport massacre, which killed 26 people; and Susan Abulhawa, who has called Israel a “Nazi state” that will “someday be demolished.”
