The Canterbury Socialist Society are launching a campaign to justify the slaughter, rapes and torture of Jewish men, women and children on 7 October. They claim it is resistance, not terrorism.

The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine is a Palestinian revolutionary Marxist group. It has been designated a terrorist organisation by the EU, Japan, Canada and the US. It used to be part of the PLO but left when the PLO abandoned its goal of destroying Israel. They do not support any two state solution.

The woman pictured on their pamphlet is Leila Khaled. She has taken part in two aircraft hijackings and has been banned from entering many countries.

Now personally I wouldn’t ban the CSS from having their pro-terrorism meeting. It isn’t against the law. But considering that Massey University tried to ban Don Brash from a public event on the basis he was too extreme, and two Canadian provocateurs had venues cancel on them after political pressure, do you think we will hear a peep from any of the usual suspects that a public meeting to justify terrorism isn’t a great idea?
