Killing Jews

Here’s part of an exchange between Davod Horowitz and a student from the Muslim Student Association at the University of California, San Diego:

“I am a Jew,” [Horowitz] said. “The head of Hezbollah has said that he hopes that we will gather in Israel so he doesn’t have to hunt us down globally. For or against it?”

“For it,” she said.

When this was posted on a website, one of the student’s teachers commented as follows:

This girl is actually my student. I know her to be an intelligent, moral young woman who believes in peace. I do not support any organization that advocates violence against any specific group, nor do I believe that my student would do so. As a peace loving, Catholic teacher, I’m saddened that this speaker — her elder — manipulated the conversation in this fashion to make her look like someone she isn’t, out of an egotistical desire to prove his own point, rather than engaging in a constructive dialogue.

I think Horowitz simply made it difficult for the student to avoid giving a direct answer. I think she knew very well what she was saying – watch her face and body language. But don’t take my word for it, here’s the exchange:

There’s a deep sickness in the Academy.
