A Most Disturbing Moment of Clarity ( + Comments )
Following David Horowitz's talk earlier this month at the University of California, San Diego, was one of the most chilling brief conversations I've heard in a while.
A semi-polite yet coldly hostile student in the audience introduced herself during the question period as Jumanah Imad Albahri of the Muslim Students' Association, and she refused to condemn either Hamas or Hezbollah when Horowitz asked her to clarify her position. He has faced a number of students just like her before, and he's well-practiced in the art of drawing them out, so he asked her a point-blank question that couldn't be easily dodged.
"I am a Jew," he said. "The head of Hezbollah has said that he hopes that we will gather in Israel so he doesn’t have to hunt us down globally. For or against it?"
"For it," she said.
Now comes the best part:-
No sooner was the video of this exchange posted when one of the student's teachers rushed to defend her.
"This girl is actually my student," A. Casavantes wrote in the comments' section of Horowitz's NewsReal blog. "I know her to be an intelligent, moral young woman who believes in peace. I do not support any organization that advocates violence against any specific group, nor do I believe that my student would do so. As a peace loving, Catholic teacher, I'm saddened that this speaker -- her elder -- manipulated the conversation in this fashion to make her look like someone she isn't, out of an egotistical desire to prove his own point, rather than engaging in a constructive dialogue."
