From MEMRI TV:

British-Palestinian academic Ghada Karmi praised Hamas during her speech at the Islamic Human Rights Council (IHRC) Genocide Memorial Day on January 19, 2025. She said that she would like to “pay tribute to Hamas,” which has been “completely demonized.” Karmi said that Israel cannot be accommodated or reformed, nor could it be made to join the human family, and therefore it must be dismantled. She added that it is necessary to work towards ridding the region and the world of Israel. Speakers at the event spoke into microphones of Iran state English-language Press TV and Iran Press news agency. The Islamic Human Rights Council is based in London, and it has been accused of having direct ties to Iran.

 Ghada Karmi at Wikipedia: 

She has written on Palestinian issues in newspapers and magazines, including The Guardian, The Nation and Journal of Palestine Studies. […]

Karmi is an associate fellow at the Royal Institute of International Affairs in London, and a visiting professor at London Metropolitan University. She is also vice-chair of the Council for Arab-British Understanding (CAABU).

She delivered the Edward Said Memorial lecture at the University of Adelaide, Australia in 2007.

According to her website she's currently a Research Fellow at the Institute of Arab and Islamic Studies, University of Exeter.

Coming out with unhinged stuff about ridding the world of Israel, and lauding a genocidal antisemitic terrorist group, clearly does wonders for your academic career.
