Duke University is hosting a Palestinian solidarity conference Friday organized by a group that refuses to condemn terrorism, urges the flooding of Israel with millions of Palestinian refugees to dissolve its Jewish character, and calls on the public to divest from Israel.

Attendees of the three-day event will listen to speakers explain their strategies for taking action against Israel, including lectures entitled, "Divestment: The Weapon of the Global Fight for Justice" and a talk on "How to effectively use the media and improved public relations to advance the Palestinian cause."

The conference will be PSM's fourth national gathering, following previous events at Berkeley, Michigan and Ohio State. Some PSM critics have charged those earlier events were hotbeds of anti-Semitism, with some attendees shouting, "Kill the Jews," and "Death to Israel!"

Last year's original conference organizer, Charlotte Kates, reportedly said, ""Why is there something particularly horrible about 'suicide bombing' – except for the extreme dedication conveyed in the resistance fighter's willingness to use his or her own body to fight?"
