In 2015, Richard Lakin, a dual Israeli-American citizen and former Connecticut teacher and principal, was brutally attacked in Jerusalem. Shot and stabbed by a terrorist, Lakin later succumbed to his injuries in the hospital. He was a beloved husband, father and grandfather who had dedicated his life to educating generations of students.
Following the attack, the Obama State Department expressed deep condolences to Lakin’s grieving family, recognizing his contributions and the tragedy of his loss.
However, just a year later, Kamala Harris, the future Democratic presidential nominee and vice president of the United States, visited a school in Jerusalem known for celebrating the terrorist responsible for Lakin’s death.
Front Page Magazine provides additional information about Harris’ visit to Al Quds Bard College, where celebration of the brutal murder of the 76-year-old educator took place:
2,500 students at Al Quds University had taken part in a ‘chain’ in honor of Richard’s killer: Bahaa Alyan. Mohammed Alyan, the killer’s father, gloated, “Today I have over a thousand Bahaas- the students who continue his path.” He claimed that all Arab Muslim settlers in Israel had become “seekers of martyrdom” which is the Islamic euphemism for terrorists.
Al Quds students then wrote letters to ‘soul’ of the monster who had sliced open an elderly man’s chest and cut open his intestines. After his fellow Hamas terrorist ran out of bullets, the attacker had shouted “Allahu Akbar”, picked up Alyan’s knife and went on stabbing Richard until the weapon broke off and remained stuck inside the beloved teacher’s body.
Al Quds University has a long history with terrorism and has produced terrorists including a cell plotting mass casualty suicide bombings in Israel. It had a monument “inscribed with the names of Al Quds alumni killed while murdering Jews.” It also hosted a “campus group called ‘Sisters of Dahal Mughrabi’ which celebrates the Muslim terrorist who led the massacre in 1978 of 37 Jews including 13 children as well as Gail Rubin, the niece of Senator Abraham Ribicoff.” Bilal Abu Ghanem, the other Hamas terrorist that carried out the bus massacre, was linked to the head of the Islamic Bloc at Al-Quds University.
The terror university encouraged even children to kill Jews by sponsoring a dance competition for 5th graders held at the school where “one of the children portrayed the corpse of a masked martyr lying on the ground” while other children “vow to follow in his footsteps.”
