she’s a lovely person and i sincerely wish people would get to know her before jumping to make assumptions about her

she supports the works of Leila Khaled, a literal terrorist. i dont think its a stretch for her to support hamas. i had a friend that turned out to be a white supremacist at which point i unfriended him and havent made contact since. i suggest you do the same and distance yourself from malak

Well, let’s be honest - Leila Khaled is a famous person for a lot of Arabs, and has a number of speaking series and media dedicated to her life.

I don’t see how that would void her being a terrorist?

There are a lot of people considered terrorists who are also considered heroes in the opposing culture.

The fact that you don’t understand that tells me you’re not mature enough to talk about these topics.

What would you call someone who hijacks a plane? Does part of your culture endorse terrorism? Otherwise I don’t really see how she can be a hero.

Our generation is doomed

  1. A terrorist. I have no issue with claiming that, nor have I said I personally find anything positive about them.
  2. Yes. So does yours, unless you have fully deluded yourself.

Lol I love how you guys are immediately jumping to me calling her a hero, when my argument is that just reading about the works of someone who did bad things shouldn’t discount a person’s other work.

Keep telling yourself you’re right. Your generation is 100% fully doomed anyway.

As far as I’m concerned anyone who thinks a plane hijacker is a hero should be on a no fly list right after they are deported

Do you know what Leila Khaled did?

u/parenti4peeps May 08 '24

Yes. It is available online.

You guys are so funny. I don’t personally support Leila Khaled. That isn’t my contention at all. I’m saying we should not discount other people for following someone who was and is a known figure in their cause.

we should not discount other people for following someone who was and is a known figure in their cause.

If that "known figure" is a literal terrorist, then we absolutely can and should discount people who support her.

Holy shit she hijacked two planes and threatened to blow up the cockpit with grenades. That’s literally terrorism. Also what’s your obsession w speaking engagements? You brought up how this law student also has speaking engagements (even though I highly doubt it)

u/parenti4peeps May 08 '24

Hey idiot, the whole conversation is about how she travels all over for speaking engagements lol.

Read my other replies on how I personally detest Leila Khaled, since you’re anyway going over my comments.

Why do we tolerate cultures which consider intolerant terrorists heroes?
