Two reported Palestinian terrorists will be featured speakers at an upcoming conference in Detroit.

Hossam Shaheen, who was released in February by Israel with other Palestinian terrorists in return for Israel hostages, will speak at the People’s Conference for Palestine, which calls him “A Palestinian writer known for capturing the complexities of life in captivity.” He was arrested by Israel in 2004; according to Israel National News, Shaheen “was sentenced to 22 years for shooting attacks targeting Israeli vehicles and was involved in throwing a hand grenade at a Border Police jeep, and was also involved in a conspiracy to send a suicide bomber to Jerusalem.”

“The Prime Minister’s Office announced in 2002 that four members of the Jebl Mukaber Martyrs’ Brigade cell admitted that Shaheen had recruited them into the terrorist organization and supplied them weapons for two failed Jerusalem terrorist attacks,” the Jerusalem Post reported.

Omar Assaf, who was reportedly an official in the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine (DFLP) terrorist group, will also speak. Members of the DFLP committed the infamous Ma’alot massacre in 1994, in which 21 children were murdered. Assaf is currently the coordinator of the executive committees of the Palestinian Popular Conference, which “praised the Gazan attackers and promised to build upon the achievements of the terrorist attack,” the day after the Hamas October 7 massacre, the Post noted, adding, “The previous year also courted terrorists as speakers, with Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) member Wisam Rafeedie speaking remotely after being denied a visa.”

“Also expected to speak is Abu-Bakr Abd, a Gazan journalist who fled the Gaza Strip and is affiliated with Iranian propaganda outlets and Hamas,” VIN News reported. “Abd, a writer for Iran’s PressTV and other Palestinian websites, has publicly expressed admiration for Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar, justified executions carried out by the terrorist organization, and even expressed regret that he had not participated personally in terrorist attacks.”

Viciously anti-Israel Michigan Democrat Rep. Rashida Talib will also speak at the conference.
