PALESTINIAN ICON, LEILA KHALED, ON SOUTH AFRICAN FUNDRAISING SPEAKING TOUR FOR BDS SA
|
The Palestinian struggle icon Leila Khaled will be in South Africa between the 5th and 15th of February 2014. Leila Khaled will be in several South African cities on a BDS South Africa Fundraising Speaking Tour.
Leila Khaled has been dubbed “the poster girl of the Palestinian struggle”. Khaled’s image flashed across the world after she hijacked a passenger jet in 1969 and made world history by becoming the first woman to hijack an airplane. The picture of a young, determined looking woman with a checkered kuffiyah scarf, clutching an AK-47, was as era-defining as that of Che Guevara, Ruth First and other political figures from our recent past.
