David Horowitz Passed Away!

An angry hateful man is gone.

Terrorism is a colonialist word used by white supremacists to justify hatred of Brown and Black people. It justifies a foreign nation to occupy another through the seizing of land, resources and removal of state actors. Calling people terrorist is a way to silence dissent against the status quo. People tossing around the word are actually the ones who embrace violence and endless wars.

The former Commie Diaper Baby who became a far right Zionist conservative has passed away at the age of 83. The hateful David Horowitz is dead and gone.

Laura Loomer, Valentina Gomez, Sean "Softball" Hannity, Mark Levin, Michelle Malkin, Jesse Watters, Megyn Kelly, Laura Ingraham, Rupert Murdoch, Scott Presler, Tomi Lahren, Bill O'Reilly, Glenn Beck, Michael Savage and Chaya Raichik:

LIVE A HEALTHY LIFE. 

When you pass away, I am sure someone will piss on your grave. Just saying.

By the way, the good David Horowitz had passed away in 2019. He was a consumer advocate who fought against a rigged system.

This Horowitz who I am talking about is hateful piece of work.

Horowitz died after a lengthy battle with cancer, the center wrote on X.

"On behalf of the David Horowitz Freedom Center, we are very saddened to announce the passing of the Center’s founder, David Horowitz," the center said.

He was a founder and president of the David Horowitz Freedom Center (DHFC); editor of the Center's website FrontPage Magazine; and director of Discover the Networks, a website that tracks individuals and groups on the political left. Horowitz also founded the organization Students for Academic Freedom.

Horowitz wrote several books with author Peter Collier, including four on prominent 20th-century American families. He and Collier have collaborated on books about cultural criticism. Horowitz worked as a columnist for Salon.

From 1956 to 1975, Horowitz was an outspoken adherent of the New Left. He later rejected progressive ideas and became a defender of neoconservatism. Horowitz recounted his ideological journey in a series of retrospective books, culminating with his 1996 memoir Radical Son: A Generational Odyssey.

Horowitz was a former Marxist, but was later described as being conservative. During his time in the New Left, Horowitz supported the civil rights movement. In the 1970s, he came to believe that the Black Panthers were involved in the death of his friend, a white bookkeeper named Betty Van Patter. Her death soured the relationship between Horowitz and the Black Panthers.

Horowitz wrote against United States intervention in the Kosovo War, arguing that it was unnecessary and harmful to United States interests, but supported the interventionist foreign policy associated with the Bush Doctrine, including the 2003 invasion of Iraq. He also wrote critically of libertarian anti-war views.

Horowitz opposed Barack Obama, illegal immigration, gun control, and Islam. He endorsed Presidents Ronald Reagan, George W. Bush, and Donald Trump. He supported attempts to overturn the 2020 presidential election.

Horowitz described himself as "a defender of gays and 'alternative lifestyles', a moderate on abortion, and a civil rights activist".

Horowitz was critical of Palestinians, claiming that their goal is to wipe out Jews from the Middle East. “No people have shown themselves as so morally sick as the Palestinians,” he said at Brooklyn College in 2011.

Horowitz published a 2007 piece in the Columbia University student newspaper, saying that, according to public opinion polls, "150 million out of 750 million Muslims support a holy war against Christians, Jews, and other Muslims." Speaking at the University of Massachusetts Amherst in February 2010, Horowitz compared Islamists to Nazis, saying: "Islamists are worse than the Nazis, because even the Nazis did not tell the world that they want to exterminate the Jews."

Horowitz created a campaign for what he called "Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week" in parody of multicultural awareness activities. He helped arrange for leading critics of radical Islam to speak at more than a hundred college campuses in October 2007. As a speaker, he was repeatedly met with intense hostility.

In 2008, while speaking at University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB), Horowitz criticized Arab culture, saying that it was rife with antisemitism. He referred to the Palestinian keffiyeh, a traditional Arab head covering that became associated with PLO leader Yasser Arafat, as a “symbol of terrorism”. In response, UCSB professor Walid Afifi said that Horowitz was "preaching hate" and smearing Arab culture.

Horowitz used university student publications and lectures at universities as venues for publishing controversial advertisements or lecturing on issues related to Islamic student and other organizations. In April 2008, DHFC advertised in the Daily Nexus, the UCSB school newspaper, saying that the Muslim Students' Association (MSA) had links with the Muslim Brotherhood, Al-Qaeda, and Hamas. The next month, Horowitz, speaking at UCSB, said that MSA supports "a second Holocaust of the Jews". The MSA responded that they were a peaceful organization and not a political group. The MSA's faculty adviser said the group had "been involved in interfaith activities with Jewish student groups, and they've been involved in charity work for national disaster relief." Horowitz ran the ad in The GW Hatchet, the student newspaper of George Washington University in Washington, D.C. Jake Sherman, the Hatchet's editor-in-chief, said claims the MSA was radical were "ludicrous".

He became an early user of the question "Do you condemn Hamas?" which he directed to a Muslim student at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) on May 11, 2010. The student was a member of UCSD's Muslim Student Association, then holding Justice in Palestine Week, which students said Horowitz had referred to as "Hitler Youth Week." In 2017, Horowitz's Freedom Center targeted pro-Palestinian professors and students.

In a 2011 review of anti-Islamic activists in the US, the Southern Poverty Law Center identified Horowitz as one of ten people in the United States' "Anti-Muslim Inner Circle". He was also described as "the godfather of the anti-Muslim movement", and as "possibly the number one counter-jihad personality", financing many other groups through his organization.

In 2017 Horowitz's center put up posters on university campuses naming students and professors who support Palestinian rights, with the names taken from Canary Mission.

His son, Benjamin Horowitz, a co-founder of the venture capitalist firm Andreessen Horowitz, shared an obituary on social media highlighting his career in media and activism, including several books he wrote and his endorsement of President Donald J. Trump.

When the younger Horowitz met Trump last year, he told the president about his father.

"President Trump’s face immediately lit up and he insisted that Benjamin get David on the phone immediately," the obituary reads. "Hospitalized and weak, David was still delighted to speak with the President."

David Horowitz is survived by his wife April Mullvain, sons Benjamin and Jonathan and daughter Anne. His other daughter, Sarah Rose, died in 2008. Mullvain is his fourth wife.

"In the end, David helped countless people and expended every fiber of his being pushing society towards freedom," the obituary reads. "He may not have saved the world, but he most certainly made it a better place – especially for us. He was our super hero and we will love him forever."
