I bet you didn’t think the story about SFSU professor Rabab Ibrahim Abdulhadi – who organized for palestinian terrorist Leila Khaled to speak to students, and admitted she idolizes Khaled for actually going to a plane and hijacking it – could get more messed up.

Well, it did.

It turns out she recently won an American Association of University Professors award as an “outstanding faculty activist.” (hat tip: Bruce)

Georgina M. Smith Award

Rabab Ibrahim Abdulhadi of San Francisco State University, Catherine Moran of the University of New Hampshire, and Anne Sisson Runyan of the University of Cincinnati are this year’s recipients of the AAUP’s Georgina M. Smith Award, which is given to a person or persons who provided exceptional leadership in a given year in improving the status of academic women or in academic collective bargaining and through that work improved the profession in general. The academic and community work of these three women encompasses important aspects of academic labor struggles–the struggle for fair treatment, the struggle to be recognized, and the struggle to be included in institutional visions of progress.

Rabab Ibrahim Abdulhadi exemplifies courage, persistence, political foresight, and concern for human rights, including union organizing, gender and sexual justice, in her scholarship, teaching, public advocacy, and collaboration with a diverse group of academic, labor, and community organizations. Her commitment to global scholarship that builds mutual understanding is evident in the collaborations she has initiated. As a director of the Arab and Muslim Ethnicities and Diasporas Studies Program she brings together scholars, activists, academics, and organizers to create justice-centered knowledge, build broad-based coalitions, and advance the agenda for social change in Palestine, the United States, and internationally. Her leadership transcends the division between scholarship and activism that encumbers traditional university life.

Yeah, she’s quite the human rights proponent and feminist.

Clearly this award cannot be worth much.

The Israel Defense Forces released footage alongside a statement on X of Hamas and Islamic Jihad operatives admitting that a huge amount of terror operatives are hiding in the Shifa Hospital in Gaza. The depositions are described in the statement as containing “details of Hamas terror infrastructure deeply embedded within the hospital, which is used by senior Hamas operatives for planning and directing terror attacks.”

One associate from Islamic Jihad told interviewers that he estimated that there were as many as 1,000 militants stationed in and around the medical campus, including certain sections that “belong” to his group. The individual described the maternity ward as his organization’s “headquarters.”

According to some of the prisoners in the recordings, the building’s medical residency department is serving as an improvised weapons storage room.

Some of the detainees claimed to have been stationed at the facility for as long as three months, which the Foreign Desk News explains suggests that the terror groups reestablished their positions shortly after Israel withdrew from the facility on November 15.

The hospital is a prime location for terrorists to conduct operations out of because they do not abide by International law, which requires that medical infrastructure be demilitarized during times of conflict. Additionally, any attempt to use them for belligerent activity is supposed to result in negating the statutory protections that they are given. However, “This distinction is important in light of criticism that Jerusalem has received for currently attempting to regain control of what is Gaza’s largest health care facility” according to the Foreign Desk News.
