Georgetown Law School Hosts a Notorious Anti-Semite

Mohammed El-Kurd has claimed that Israelis “harvest organs of the martyred.”

On Tuesday, Georgetown University’s law school hosted a talk by the Palestinian poet and writer Mohammed El-Kurd, who has been condemned by the Anti-Defamation League and many other groups for his vitriolic statements about Jews and Israel. On Tuesday morning, the dean of students, Mitch Bailin, met with a group of Jewish students who urged the school to cancel the event. Bailin’s response, writes Nate Hochman, demonstrates that the school leadership is “terrified of a small but vocal minority of students.”
