Cape Town - Israeli supporters are upset about a tour organised by the pro-Palestinian group, Boycott Divestment Sanctions (BDS), in which the group will host the infamous female airplane hijacker, Leila Khaled.Khaled is described on Cape Town Muslim.com as "the poster girl of the Palestinian struggle”. The website advertises the upcoming fundraising tour saying, "Khaled’s image flashed across the world after she hijacked a passenger jet in 1969 and made world history by becoming the first woman to hijack an airplane."The picture of a young, determined looking woman with a checkered kuffiyah scarf, clutching an AK-47, was as era-defining as that of Che Guevara, Ruth First and other political figures from our recent past."The website invites people to "support BDS South Africa and dine with the remarkable living legend, Leila Khaled".However Deputy ambassador and spokesperson for the Israeli embassy in South Africa, Michael Freeman, is upset about the tour. He told IOL News that Khaled was a self-confessed hijacker and someone who believed violence was the mainstay to advance her aims.Freeman says Khaled is a member of the politburo of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), the organisation believed to be responsible for killing of four Jewish worshippers in West Jerusalem last month, and says the tour would condone violence in South Africa.He said that Khaled's visit to South Africa goes against the values that our country and the world stands for, which was emphasized by the recent terrorist attacks in Paris.Despite Freeman's opinion of Khaled's visit to the country, BDS president Muhammed Desai said the group was not promoting violence.The advertisement inviting listeners to the gatherings where Khaled will be speaking, describes her as a "wife, mother, plane hijacker and Palestinian freedom fighter".The BDS defended the use of 'hijacker' in the ad saying they used the term because it is Khaled's claim to fame.Khaled will be visiting South Africa from the 6th to the 14th of February, touring to Cape Town, Durban and Johannesburg among other places.
