Among those in attendance were old hippie radical terrorists William Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn. Among the speakers reportedly singing praises to Khalidi — and his position regarding Israel — was then Illinois State Sen. Barack Obama.
Khalidi is known for his extreme pro-Palestinian i.e. anti-Israeli views.
