This week Leila Khaled was a guest of the European Parliament:

A woman who hijacked two aircraft in Europe of behalf of a Palestinian terrorist group almost half a century ago was feted as an invited guest at a European Parliament event on Tuesday evening, despite the fact her group is on the European Union’s terrorist list.  

Leila Khaled, a member of the political bureau of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), took part in an event in Brussels entitled “The Role of Women in the Palestinian Popular Resistance,” organized by a left-wing parliamentary group.  

The poster advertising the event and naming the three speakers identifies her affiliation: “Leila Khaled – Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine.”…

Tuesday’s event was organized by members of the European Parliament (MEPs) from a far-left Spanish party, Izquierda Unida, which is part of the “European United Left/Nordic Green Left (GUE/NGL) group at the European Parliament.  

Martina Anderson, an MEP from Ireland’s Sinn Fein – also a member of the GUE/NGL group – tweeted a photo of herself with “legendary Palestinian revolutionary Leila Khaled” at the event “

"Fantastic Turnout in Brussels 4 Women in Palestinian Struggle Leila Khaled addressing a packed room – long live international solidarity,” Anderson tweeted.

You can see a short section of her speech at Israellycool – with applause from an enraptured audience:

"Don't you see a similarity between the Holocaust in Auschwitz and the Holocaust in Gaza? Is it not the same thing?

While the Nazis were tried in Nurenberg, no one has ever tried the Zionists to this day.

There won't be peace as long as there is a single Zionist on Palestinian land.

We praised the shahid whose blood was spilled on the land of Palestine after he shot the soldiers, the occupiers. That's how we want them to live. We want them to live in fear!

Of course the left has no problem with antisemitism. In fact, coming from the mouth of a "legendary revolutionary", they positively love it.
