I don't understand how anyone with an institutional role that is publicly visible posts political shit on social media. I never did post political shit except for our little hideout here, and now as chair of the Foundation I'm even more careful.
That's because you're an old fart and did not grow up in the social media age.

True, that.

No, he’s just another media whore and narcissist whose behaviour extends beyond questionable and into the world of criminal.

I don't see a problem with CNN asking that kind of question. It's not up to them so support a side, and they're supposed to ask questions. Hopefully Tim Scott managed to answer it.

We are in a moment when the emotional content of conversation is being litigated, rather than the logical content of the conversation. We're always in that moment to some extent, but firmly in it about Israel now. Since people are getting murdered due to emotional content of the words they've heard through their lives, I guess this is necessary. A "just asking questions" defense is not very compelling from that perspective.

Interesting thread.
Also have a look at his x page.
@tprincato
I think he can lose his license for saying he sedated someone to shut them up.
I saw that earlier, it looks like he’s cleaned his account. Would the nurse face repercussions, too?

Looks like everything is gone.
However, he should have his license, suspended or revoked for being stupid enough to say something like that in public.

I guess conservatives are supposed to go back to disliking Chappelle

"How is making life more difficult for the citizens of Berlin something that helps the British?"
There's a question that the BBC probably never asked.

I think the necessity of the carpet bombing of Dresden was something that was questioned. My dad had friends who had taken part in it, and they had indicated that were mixed feelings about it even amongst the people flying the aircraft.
It's certainly been questioned since the war ended.
Did the foreign press get a chance to ask the British government about their war thinking? Because CNN isn't Israeli, after all. I'm not sure the two conflicts or time-periods are really comparable, but I do believe that the media should be asking difficult questions of all sides. If something is easily defensible, then it should be easy to answer the question.
I was only joking

Yes, the morality of the Dresden bombing has been questioned, but only in hindsight.
Yet the Beeb never asked that question at the time. And that's my point. I don't think your explanation that time/conflict differences gives a pass. Either it's moral or it's not, and the BBC questioned the morality of the Israelis, but not of its own government.

As I pointed out to Jolly yesterday, Dresden was a legitimate target for bombing. Not only was it a major rail hub into the east but it also had over 120 business that manufactured or assembled war material for the German army. The city was much more to German war effort than porcelain finery and dolls as the revisionist historians go to lengths portray it.
There was some public debate about the RCAF’s role in the bombing of Dresden back in the 80’s or 90’s. The CBC even did a documentary series on it and the RCAF under Bomber Harris’ command.
