News Reel Blog: Last night NewsReal Blog’s Editor-in-Chief David Horowitz gave a talk at UC San Diego to counter the Muslim Students Association’s Israeli Apartheid Week. (Horowitz made a point to properly describe the event as “Hitler Youth” week.) He was literally giving his speech at the same time as notorious anti-Semite Norman Finkelstein.
During the Question and Answer period Horowitz had a chilling exchange with a member of the MSA in which he prodded her to reveal the depraved depths of her Jew-hatred. What’s shocking is not so much that she holds such views, but rather that she was willing to admit it:
Wow that is a pretty stunning admission. David Horowitz does have the right tactic for dealing with people like this MSA student. Be direct and ask them point blank where they stand. Too many times these groups hide what they are doing behind elaborate verbal games. However, when pushed hard, they often admit their true evil.

During my college years I remember going to watch Daniel Pipes speak at the behest of some Muslim aquaintances. The campus Muslim group was attending, not so much to disrupt, but to ask questions- it was a long time ago so the details are fuzzy. Basically what I got out of it is the frustration of the Palestinians as though they weren't being heard or listened to.
What they seem to misunderstand is that their goal of violence and genocide is the problem, and until they behave rationally and support leaders that represent humanity and not death to the infidels, their grievances will be dismissed.
At this time in history they are responsible for many of the world's attrocities, and they need to "clean" their own house before they make demands of others. I have no doubts about the harshness of the Israeli response or that they have themselves committed unwarranted acts of violence against Palestinian civilians, but I would ask who's hands have more blood on them, who has a desire to destroy a race? For too many years Palestine has had no state, but only when the Jews moved into the land did they (Arab) states position and manipulate their neighbors to instigate a Holy War. They used the Palestinians which were already the black sheep of the area and fostered the growth of their discontent to focus their rage on the Israeli state.
Palestinians are third class people in the middle east- I don't mean that Israel treats them that was- their own Arab neighbors do, and their hate for Israel is such that they blame the Jews for everything- and some in their group will fight to keep them deprived of basic human needs in order to force a war to destroy all the Jews. Elements within that they need to address to make peace, if that's what they really want.
You would think the young woman would be glad to live in a country where she is not required to wear a bag and she is free to speak without being whipped or stoned.
Stunning? Not so much.
I would be interested to know where her family is from. As Ozzie has said, people who have family from Palenstine think differently.
I know a woman who was born and raised in Jordan and tells people that she is Palenstinian. The reason being that they are treated like third class citizens. I shouldn't even say citizens, as they do not have Jordanian citizenship. That is one of the biggest problems over there. The Middle Eastern Muslim countries have zero respect for the Palenstinians, and they are taught from a very young age that is the fault of the Jews. Until that mentality changes there will be no peace. Everyone says there can't be peace without the Americans, while that may be true, there will be no peace until without the Jordanians, Syrians, and the Lebonanese. None of which are willing to help those poor people realize that they have their future in their own hands.
As much as Americans don't want to see it, their are real grievances that need to be dealt with, the problem is, many of which, we can do nothing about.
wow, that was stunning. i've held onto the belief that not all muslims are bad, only a pocket full are extreme and evil...but that just sent chills down my spine. an ucsd student can look a man in the face and tell him she believes all jews should be rounded up and murdered was just un-frickin-believable.
i hope she is rounded up by homeland security.
