“Right now, if there was a Palestinian state, it would be run by Hamas, and that would make it a Taliban-like state, and it would be a client state of Iran.” Rushdie said. A renowned novelist and New York University professor Salman Rushdie has strongly criticised US campus protesters advocating for a free Palestine. Rushdie, who has long supported the idea of a Palestinian state, explained his current apprehensions. “I've argued for a Palestinian state for most of my life – since the 1980s, probably,” he said. The novelist did not hold back in his assessment of the campus protests. “The fact is that I think any human being right now has to be distressed by what is happening in Gaza because of the quantity of innocent death,” Rushdie remarked. “I would just like some of the protests to mention Hamas. Because that’s where this started, and Hamas is a terrorist organization. It’s very strange for young, progressive student politics to kind of support a fascist terrorist group.”
