Wake Forest University, a private university located in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, planned to host an event on October 7, 2024, featuring Rabab Abdulhadi, a professor at San Francisco State University and anti-Israel Hamas cheerleader, entitled “One Year since al-Aqsa Flood: Reflections on a Year of Genocide and Resistance.” Abdulhadi is a co-founder of the anti-Israel Institute for the Critical Study of Zionism, an organization that tried to bring U.S.-designated terrorist organization Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) member Leila Khaled to speak to her students.
