South African Jews to protest against visiting Palestinian terrorist

[Jerusalem Post] The visit of Palestinian terrorist Leila Khaled to South Africa has riled that countryâs Jewish community which has announced that it will hold a protest against the former airplane hijacker in Cape Town on Friday.

Khaled, now 70, is a former member of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine and took part in two airplane hijackings between 1969 and 1970, is now in a speaking tour. Arrested after the second incident, she was later freed in exchange for hostages held by the PFLP.

In an email to supporters announcing her tour, the South African BDS movement termed Khaled an icon of the Palestinian struggle, showing an image of her clutching an automatic weapon and comparing her to late South African president Nelson Mandela.
Credit where credit is due. Mandela and Khaled, an entirely accurate comparison.
