"The Hilton Houston Post Oak was scheduled to host the Seize the Moment US Campaign for Palestinian Rights National Conference later this month. That event has now been cancelled.
"The national conference was to be held from October 27 to October 29. The hotel cites safety concerns for its staff and hotel guests. The conference was meant to “mobilize for liberation”, according to its website. That has a threatening tone to it, given what is going on in Israel right now at the hands of Hamas. “Hundreds of organizers, activists, students and artists will build across movements in our collective fight for justice. Imagine a liberated future with us, beginning with the demand to end U.S. military funding to Israel once and for all,” the website said.
"There is no room for these Hamas supporters in Texas, he said. “Texas has no room for hate & antisemitism like that supported by Hamas. No location in Texas should host or sponsor USCPR.” They can “Seize the Moment” elsewhere." . . .

"On Tuesday, the White House condemned “repugnant” and “disgraceful” comments from members of Congress equating the terrorist attack by Hamas with previous actions taken by Israel. Notably, this rebuttal applies to Democratic Reps. Rashida Tlaib of Michigan and Cori Bush of Missouri.
"'I’ve seen some of those statements this weekend,” White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told RealClearPolitics, “and we are going to continue to be very clear: We believe they are wrong.”
“ 'Our condemnation belongs squarely with terrorists who have brutally murdered, raped, and kidnapped hundreds of Israelis. There can be no equivocation about that. There are not two sides here,” Jean-Pierre continued." . . .
