Penn President Poses with "Suicide Bomber" (Democracy Project)
University of Pennsylvania president Amy Gutmann threw her annual Halloween costume party at her home Tuesday night. Among the guests was Saad Saadi, who came dressed as a suicide bomber, complete with plastic dynamite strapped to his chest and a toy automatic rifle. Worse, Gutmann posed with Saadi!

An obvious question: would Gutmann have posed with a guest--or even allowed him into her house--if he'd dressed as Adolf Hitler or a Nazi SS officer? A KKK member? But in modern liberal circles, posing as a Palestinian suicide bomber (see his kefiya) is just fine. After all, he mainly tries to kill innocent Jews.

Addendum: Moreover, suicide bombers worldwide kill not only Jews, nor do they strike only in Israel. They maim and kill US and allied servicemen and Marines in Iraq and Afghanistan, Iraqi Arabs and Kurds, Afghan civilians, Pakistanis, Arabs in Israel, Gaza, and the West Bank, Sri Lankans, Indonesians, and countless others.
