    Education and discernment are very different things. This was not always the case, but now we have students being told what to think, not how.

      In this case, there exist first-principles arguments which would imply support for things such as a cease fire on retaliations, after the massacre by Hamas. Without that cease fire, those same first principles lead to blaming the Jews for the civilian casualties, and round and round we go. Messaging and education will solve nothing, because the conflict doesn't depend on factual disagreements. Only on competing tribes with mutually exclusive ambitions which they each view as righteous and fair. We won't be wringing the first world savior complex out of western civilizaton any time soon, and that complex is what causes the division in the west.

      Education is extremely important.

        The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

                  You know who else were editors?

                  Scalia, Roberts, Ginsberg and Kagan.

                  And Ketanji Brown Jackson.

                  And Breyer and Frankfurter for those historically minded.

                  Thank you for your attention to this matter.

                    And none of the aforementioned, afaik, were anti-semites who assaulted someone.

                    I could be wrong about the latter, of course.

                            2. Get fired from Apple

                            4. Update resume

                              I don’t know she works for Apple in Istanbul. She may be just fine.

                                    Maybe when it's Jews saying they don't agree with what Israel is doing, then it's no longer antisemitism?

                                    I was only joking

                                      The broader western progressive attitude is hatred of first world high status oppressors. The Jewish angle is incidental, except for how the real Palestinians feel.

                                        Watch this 27 second clip, if for no other reason than to hear the tepid applause at the end.

                                        Had the tables been turned, and he was criticizing Trump, or anyone else on the right (If, indeed Trump is on the right, but that's another discussion), the crowd would hav gone nuts - raucus applause and "Whoop! Whoop!"

                                        But they didn't.

                                        The whole anti-semitism discussion:
