David Horowitz, founder and president of the Horowitz Freedom Center, a conservative think tank, spoke at UNC-Chapel Hill on Monday. Horowitz said student organizations such as Students for Justice in Palestine and the Muslim Students’ Association are connected to terrorist organizations. “The goal of SJP, the MSA and the Muslim Brotherhood, Hamas and Fatah, and Iran and Hezbollah is to kill the Jews, to push them into the sea,” Horowitz said. “Arabs are racist,” he added, arguing that activists who claim to be defending the human rights of Palestinians are actually attempting to detract support for Israel. Horowitz received criticism after the talk, especially from Muslim students. UNC-CH freshman and Muslim student Soumaya Lansari called Horowitz’s claims about the MSA “extremely absurd.”
