Arab Student Group Distributes David Duke Hate MaterialAmerican Jewish Committee The American Jewish Committee today deplored an Arab student group's distribution of viciously anti-Semitic material written by David Duke, a former grand wizard of the Ku Klux Klan. "There is no place in American society, and certainly not on a university campus, for this type of incitement against Jews," said David A. Harris, executive director of the American Jewish Committee. Arab Students United, a student group at New York University, distributed the Duke piece with the headline: "Educate Yourself and Others."  "At a time when Americans are especially sensitive to any attacks on particular ethnic or faith groups, it simply is deplorable that Arab Students United would openly endorse and disseminate the vile anti-Semitism and wild conspiracy theories advanced by David Duke," said Mr. Harris. "Duke's longstanding record of bigotry, racism and xenophobia, his targeting of African Americans, Jews and other minorities, as well as immigrant groups, make him one of this country's most notorious purveyors of hate," said Mr. Harris.
