UC Berkeley slammed after anti-Israel group hosts failed suicide bomber as guest event speaker: 'cesspool'

UC Berkeley's law school faced backlash for hosting Israa Jaabis, a former Israeli-jailed suicide bomber, as a guest speaker for a Palestinian Political Prisoners Day event. Jaabis, released in 2023 via a hostage exchange, thanked attendees in a video message, sparking criticism labeled as 'leftist cesspool' on social media. The university defended the event under First Amendment protections.
