Hilton Hotel in Texas cancels pro-Palestinian conference over 'potential risks'
[Fox Bidness] A pro-Palestinian conference has been canceled at a Hilton hotel in Texas amid the ongoing war between Israel and Hamas with the major hotel chain citing "potential risks" for team members and guests.

The Hilton Houston Post Oak by the Galleria was going to host the Seize the Moment US Campaign for Palestinian Rights National Conference (USCPR) from Oct. 27 to Oct. 29. However, amid the Israel-Hamas conflict, the hotel chain has decided to cancel the pro-Palestinian event.

According to the USCPR, the event, which was set to be hosted in Houston, Texas, was being held in "solidarity with the Palestinian people resisting 75+ years of ethnic cleansing" and to "mobilize for liberation."

The event boasted keynote speakers including Rep. Rashida Tlaib, journalist and academic Marc Lamont Hill and senior staff attorney Daila Shamas.

In a statement to KHOU 11, Hilton Hotels said that they canceled the event over "the potential risks."

"Given escalating security concerns in the current environment, the hotel has determined that it cannot serve as the venue for this event because of the potential risks to our Team Members and guests," the hotel said in a statement to the local outlet. "Our priority is and will remain the safety and security of everyone we welcome at our hotel."
Do they think that Mossad is going to come charging over the horizon, shooting off their six guns, and flatten the place because Hamas supporters are congregating there?
