A Harvard student has apologized for calling MK Tzipi Livni (Zionist Union) a smelly Jew during a panel discussion last week.
The incident occurred last Thursday when the Harvard Law School hosted a panel discussion with guest speakers Dennis Ross and 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" and said, A question about the odor of Ms. Tzipi Livni, shes very smelly, and I was just wondering.
The question was condemned by Harvards Jewish Law Students Association, which pointed out that the student invoked a classic anti-Semitic stereotype.
Discussions about Israel cannot devolve into ad hominem attacks against Jews, the association said, as quoted by Tablet Magazine. 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 The fact that such a hate-filled and outdated stereotype reemerged at Harvard Law School is nothing short of revolting

Does ‘A Harvard Student’ have a name and face to be photographed? Let all of us know who this bottom-feeder is.
apologize, hell. Expelled should be more like it.
Muhammad perhaps?
Overt anti Zionism, if not Antisemitism is becoming the norm in the Democratic Party and the Left.
“The student is a leader of Harvard Laws Justice for Palestine chapter whose identity is being withheld.”
Well, if he made a gay slur he would have been expelled.
Plus...why is this person being protected by not naming them?
The student's question represents the height of rudeness, and should be severely condemned - but he/she did NOT call Livni a "smelly Jew," i.e., the student did NOT employ the word "Jew" in posing his/her question - hence, the title is misleadingly inciteful.
And, yes: It would have been interesting to learn the NAME of the student.
Regards,
what is “the student’s” name and what is the “organization” he is the “president” of?
Sorry, but her ‘smelly’ insult is straight of ‘Der Sturmer’, and is often used as an insult of Muslims to Jews in the middle east. So, you are not only wrong, but very wrong.—
“And, yes: It would have been interesting to learn the NAME of the student.”
In another thread, someone posted her name. First name was ‘Aya’ and she is the head of a Muslim group at Harvard.
Here is the post from the other thread:

The only ‘good part’ to this rudeness, is that it still causes people at Harvard to become ‘shocked’ and apparently ill at ease.
And by no means was her apology an apology. It was pure Clintonian parsing. Remember, this bitch explicitly repeated her filthy insult "to be clear."
Rotten scum.
The “student” is clearly a pig.
The same Harvard Law Omuslim allegedly attended...piglet is a perfect candidate for a Hitlery 2016 WH or State Dept.
The way things are going these days, I’m surprised he didn’t get a trophy.
