Harvard Students’ Israel Tour Includes Stop at Arafat’s Grave
While I would hope this visit was in the interest of making sure Yasser Arafat was dead, it doesn’t look like that was the case.
William Bigelow of Breitbart files this report:
As part of the “Harvard College Israel Trek 2014,” some of Harvard’s students recently visited the grave of former PLO terrorist Yasser Arafat. The students even posed for a photo-op next to Arafat’s grave in Ramallah.

The “trek” claims it “aims to engage a diverse cohort of undergraduate student leaders of all faiths and backgrounds with Israeli history, culture, and politics.” The site for the trek states, “[the] Israel Trek is made possible by the generous contributions of a number of family foundations and Boston’s Combined Jewish Philanthropies. The Trek is supported by Harvard Hillel .”

Do they try hard to be this stupid or does it come naturally? Why not go and honor Hitler and Stalin too. Arafat was responsible for multiple airplane hijackings, the slaughter at the Munich games and the take over of the Achille Lauro. The list of all the murders and hijackings would fill pages which these goofballs would never read. Sorry, havard, you admit idiots!
Disgraceful. College students today, many of them, are so mind-numbingly stupid it’s a shame. You would think that having gone to Harvard they would be able to research and think about who that diseased scum Arafat was. Between programming and peer pressure, kids today have no moral compass, no principles. Shame on Hillel association for funding this idiocy.
