I can't believe the Boston Globe wasn't all over this story about a TRUE BIGOT!!! Does anyone doubt the ethnicity of the "student leader" who made these remarks? And how can Harvard continue to allow this group to even operate a hate newspaper on campus? Students exposed to this level of Anti-Semitism certainly must be running for their "safe spaces", right?

Harvard newspaper slams student leader for labeling Livni 'smelly,' warns 'anti-Semitism still very real.'

Harvard Law School’s newspaper, the Harvard Law Record, on Monday blasted as anti-Semitic an incident during a recent panel discussion involving MK Tzipi Livni (Zionist Camp).

Last Thursday, Harvard Law School hosted a panel discussion with guest speakers Dennis Ross and former Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni.

During a question and answer session a president of a student organization mocked the Israeli leader, asking her, “How is it that you are so smelly?”

When his question drew stunned silence, he clarified his "question."

“A question about the odor of Ms. Tzipi Livni, she’s very smelly, and I was just wondering.”

The Harvard Law Record did not disclose the identity of the student in question, or the campus organization he leads. But the paper found the insult a clear reference to Livni’s ethnicity and nationality, noting that the comments “revived the antiquated and offensive notion of the ‘smelly Jew’ – a term reeking of anti-Semitism – in order to insult her.”

The paper noted that the discussion focused on the Arab-Israeli conflict, attracting anti-Israel students like the organization president at the center of the incident.

"Discussions about Israel cannot devolve into ad hominem attacks against Jews. A quick Internet search will show that the stereotype of 'the Jew' as 'smelly' or 'dirty' has been around since at least the 1800s. The Nazis promoted the idea that Jews 'smell' to propagandize Jews as an inferior people. The idea that Jews can be identified by a malodor is patently offensive and stereotypes Jews as an 'other' which incites further acts of discrimination. The fact that such a hate-filled and outdated stereotype reemerged at Harvard Law School is nothing short of revolting.”

The statement in the Harvard Law Record encouraged constructive dialogue, but warned that bigotry and hateful rhetoric were rearing their head on campus.

“Anti-Semitism is still very real today, and it just showed itself in our community at Harvard Law School.”

A follow up on this story...

It seems a concerted effort is underway to conceal the identity of the Harvard law student who hurled anti-Semitic epithets at Israel's former Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni during her recent address at the university.

During the question and answer session at her speaking engagement, someone identified merely as "the president of a student organization," invoked an age-old anti-Semitic slur, asking Livni, "how is it that you are so smelly?”

In the wake of stunned silence, he then repeated the question: "A question about the odor of Ms. Tzipi Livni, she’s very smelly, and I was just wondering."

CanaryMission.org notes that great lengths are being taken to conceal details of the "student president" in question and to expunge any web-based reference to his affiliations with multiple organizations.

On April 21, Canary notes that an opinion piece published in the Harvard Law Record was updated to reflect a so-called "apology" from the mystery student, identified at the time only as "the individual who made the comment":

The text of the update stated that he never intended to perpetuate an anti-Semitic stereotype and was “entirely unaware” that such a stereotype existed. He encouraged members of the Jewish community who were hurt by his question to “reach out” and to give him “an opportunity to make it right.”

However, details of the El-Qoulaq’s identity were not provided in order for individuals to be able to reach out to him.

Convenient.

A list of the Anti-Semetic organizations this guy belongs to is then published....you get the picture. Lying is a convenient way to bullsh%%t the willing. TM

Was any rationale offered as to why his identity was protected? You can bet if he were a member of Students for Trump or the Young Republicans we would know who he is, loud and clear. I am so sick of the Liberal double standard when it comes to information.

You know it. if he was one of those it would be all over the media. I too am sick of the lib double standard.

It's a double standard alright. But isn't it worse than that? For example, what's going to be the punishment for such hate speech?

An anonymous apology is supposed to suffice? Can't we at least unleash the campus' Hate Response Team? see: http://www.foxnews.com/us/2016/04/21/tru...ml?intcmp=hpbt3 If it's not for such an offense then what the he%% is it for?
