38. Imagine this scenario

Sat Apr 23, 2016, 01:20 PM

Apr 2016

A Palestinian official is speaking to Harvard Law School about the same topic. She is a Muslim Arab woman.

A law student who is a prominent member of an on campus pro-Israel advocacy group gets up the microphone to ask her a question. He is white and Jewish.

The white Jewish pro-Israel student activist asks the Muslim Arab Palestinian woman why she is so smelly.

When confusion is expressed regarding the question, the student repeats it again, more explicitly explaining that he is asking why this Palestinian Arab Muslim woman has such a foul odor.

After word of this incident becomes known, the Jewish student tries to hide his identity and removes his name from several on-campus pro-Israel event pages, takes down his Linkedn account and social media presence. Articles make a point of not identifying the name of the student.

How do you think a source like Mondoweiss might approach the above described scenario?

What the Canary Mission is doing is far worse than what this guy did. Little Tich Apr 2016 #16

Much worse , you say ? Maybe because you're not affected by him calling a fellow Jew King_David Apr 2016 #17

Oh, there's quite a difference between being an anti-Semite (if that's what he is) Little Tich Apr 2016 #19

Of course he is. That's why he's scrubbing his history on the internet. shira Apr 2016 #25

I don't know of any newspaper articles hanging out individuals like the Canary Mission does. Little Tich Apr 2016 #43

Google recent news articles. They outed that racist POS. Same as Canary Mission. n/t shira Apr 2016 #47

You don't know about the anti-semitic part? oberliner Apr 2016 #27

Worse than that is when they think they know better than Jews what antisemitism is. shira Apr 2016 #28

It's about plausible denial - he might have been unaware that he was using an anti-Semitic trope. Little Tich Apr 2016 #29
