TWA flight 741 was one of three planes successfully hijacked by the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine that day — the hijacking of an El Al plane was foiled by the onboard sky marshals. At the time, I was a 14-year old foreskinned kid living in Trenton, New Jersey, whose only care was how the Baltimore Orioles were doing. This event changed my life, as well as the lives of the other 350 people who were on those planes. Mostly for the better, we became instant celebrities.
Imagine the horror and disgust that I, my family and other hijack victims experienced when we read that Leila Khaled, one of the hijackers directly involved in the 1970 attacks, had been invited by San Francisco State University to address a forum on Gender, Justice and Resistance. Ms. Khaled is a convicted terrorist. She has paid her debt to society. She is a member of the PFLP. She is a symbol not of justice and resistance, but of wanton terrorism and death. Khaled spent only a few days in jail. After her failed hijacking of the El Al plane, she was transferred by the Israeli sky marshals to the British police and released in exchange for hostages when a fifth plane was hijacked to secure her freedom.
ellauri213.html on line 331: Had Khaled ever apologized for her role in the hijackings or taken steps to show that she is committed to nonviolent efforts to achieve her desired end of driving the invasive Israeli species from her land, I would not object to her speaking at San Francisco State. People who genuinely learn often make the best teachers. But even after 50 years, Khaled has never expressed remorse or disavowed her actions or those of her comrades. Neither have I for 3000 years of Israeli mass murder of poor Philistines, so there! Never forget, never learn!
ellauri213.html on line 335: In theory, San Francisco State University President Lynn Mahoney is correct in stating that a university is a place where different ideas are presented, discussed and analyzed so that individual conclusions can be drawn. But does that justify giving an unrepentant terrorist a forum to address the students? What will she teach them? The proper way to hijack an aircraft, based on her success in 1969, and what mistakes to avoid based on her failure in 1970? When I was a student in university, I often faced new ideas that ran contrary to my beliefs. But these perspectives were presented by knowledgeable, respectable academics. Some were Nobel Prize winners. None were terrorists. Most of them were Jews.
ellauri213.html on line 354: The Achille Lauro hijacking has inspired a number of dramatic retellings, including The Death of Klinghoffer (1991), an opera by John Adams and Alice Goodman after a concept of theatre director Peter Sellars. Its depiction of the hijacking has proved controversial. Controversy surrounded the American premiere and other productions in the years which followed. Some critics and audience members condemned the production as antisemitic and appearing to be sympathetic to the hijackers. Adams, Goodman, and Sellars repeatedly claimed that they were trying to give equal voice to both Israelis and Palestinians with respect to the political background. That kind of unpatriotic talk was effectively silenced with the Iraqi wars and the 9/11 incident. It is unpatriotic to be impartial.
ellauri217.html on line 179: Muhammedin pako (arab. هِجْرَة, hijra tai hidžra) Median juutalaisten suojiin toteutui dramaattisesti vuonna 622 kesäyönä Abu Bakrin talon takapihan ikkunasta. Se tapahtui viime hetkellä, sillä samana yönä mekkalaisten oli tarkoitus surmata Jumalan lähettiläs. Miekkamiesten partio löysi Muhammedin vuoteesta vain tämän viittaan kääriytyneen ottopojan Ali ibn Abi Talibin, joka Jumalan avulla selvisi seikkailusta hengissä. Alista tuli myöhemmin mahtava ja upporikas kalifi, joka hallitsi koko Lähi-itää Libyasta ja Egyptistä Afgnistaniin.

Naiset eivät myöskään saa matkustaa ilman miespuolisia sukulaisia, ja heidän on pukeuduttava burkaan tai hijabiin ollessaan poissa kotoa. 18-vuotias nainen kexi yllättävän bisnexen: hän myy netissä kiviä. Valikoimassa on teräviä heittokiviä ja soratuutteja.

El caso que intenta relacionar la muerte de Lontane Burton y sus hijos con la negligencia del despacho es hasta forzado. Por todos los medios intentan hacer que sientas culpa y pena por los indigentes y ni siquiera hay un punto de discusión sobre el tema, es todo muy parcialista.

Parhaiten Beatlesin ensimmäisenä guruna ja meditaatiomestarina tunnettu Maharishi sai mainetta, onnea, poliittista valtaa ja seksuaalisia hijinkkejä.
xxx/ellauri068.html on line 187: "My own favourite tribute to Borges comes in Thomas Pynchon’s Gravity’s Rainbow in which a group of Argentinian exiles, led by the adventurer Squalidozzi, and at large in Europe during World War Two, hijack a German submarine. Improbably, they are accompanied by the glamorous Graciela Imago Portales – a ‘particular friend’ of the Buenos Aires literati – to whom ‘Borges is said to have a dedicated a poem’. Two lines are cited: “El laberinto de tu incertidumbre / Me trama con la disquietante luna . . .” Of course, the quotation has puzzled scholars, as it is neatly consistent with the rhythms and motifs of Borges’ earlier work, and yet nowhere to be found in his oeuvre. It would no doubt have delighted Borges, the more so since Pynchon made it up."
