The name of the Harvard student who asked a visiting Israeli politician why she was “so smelly” has been revealed. The student is a leader in Harvard’s Arab community with a history of anti-Israeli activism. Not only that, but he’s also a man looking for a job, making his public stunt look like an incredibly bad idea.
Last week, Husam El-Qoulaq rudely disrupted a panel featuring Israeli politician Tzipi Livni to ask her why she was “so smelly.”
“I’m question (sic) about the odor of Tzipi Livni, very smelly, and I was just wondering,” El-Qoulaq said to a confused panel.
Despite his remarks being very public, it took nearly a week before El-Qoulaq’s statements attracted wider notice, with several Jewish media outlets expressing outrage at the stunt on Wednesday. Harvard Law School Dean Martha Minow strongly condemned the behavior in a school-wide email. El-Qoulaq issued an apology as well, claiming he was unaware that assigning a pungent odor to Jewish people has long been a part of anti-Semitic propaganda. El-Qoulaq suggested that he was just trying to make a rude personal attack on Livni rather than an attack on all Jews in general.

I’d love to know his SAT scores.
Strange.
The Palestinian activist student was a female. A picture was provided as well as her bio.
Daily Caller misses the mark a mile describing the student as a “he”, or the thread from yesterday missed it.
I’m confused.
Apparently the woman was not the one, but then it is hard to know who to believe now.
They're covering for the female student. Hillary is running - women are morally superior. The record must reflect that.
our leading univerities are allowing such KRAP in....
when instead they should put their pictures up on the campus police wall to make sure these anti-American troublemakers are KEPT the H away
worse, in many cases our colleges are actually giving these enemy agents $$$$$$ to be there!
our ruling elites (on campuses, not only in what used to be our government)... are selling us all out....
I’d like to make him smelly....rotting kind of smelly.
They should, though you know they won’t, expel this Sand Uyghur and if he’s here on a student Visa deport his ass back to his 3rd World Crap hole. I’m sure it smells like daisies there /S
Gee...
No surprise there now, is it.
What a POS.
How the hell would an Arab smell anything over their own stench. They stink like corruption and rotten meat.
Verbal Jihad!
They are always full of hate it seems
What law firm would hire this nitwit? He disqualified himself by being such a lousy liar!
Oh my, another Harvard lawyer. Expect to see him run for President in a few years.
I would hire Husam right away; to swamp my hog barns.
The thing that scares me is his current status in the ‘Cyberlaw Clinic’.
Ditto. I really have to wonder about the modern media. Some publications (cited in a thread this morning) identified the moron as a female, and provided a name. Now these guys claim it’s a male, and supply a different name.
Somebody had to be at that event, and if nothing else should be able to figure out if the “smelly” insult came from a male or a female. At the very least, a reporter should be able to contact Livni (or her people) and find out if she was insulted by a man or a woman. How bloody difficult could that be?
I guess you are right. Can not really imagine a woman saying something so crude in an academic setting. I know... stranger things have happened. :)
