For the most part that might be true unless…

Inevitably there always seem to be caveats on blanket statements like that.

Last I heard, houndstooth check was English fabric. In any event, this is exactly the kind of oversensitivity we've come to know and abhor.

Her art reflects the concerns about the social, emotional and psychological aspects of life that derive from the politically unsettled environment in Palestine.

It's the Met. They're probably hoping for hints and tips.

By what twisted argument could one support amnesty for those butchers and rapists? I guess it’s ok as long as we hang them first.

Why would he say ‘reportedly’ and not link to the report?

Here's the full article, but it doesn't really cite anything. Just a claim that the UN has tried to get immunity in a US court.

In an official document filed in a US court, the United Nations, with support from the US Department of Justice, has argued that UNRWA employees who were involved in the October 7 massacre are immune from legal action, Israeli broadcaster Channel 12 News reported on Saturday evening.
According to the document, UNRWA employees involved in the massacre are shielded from prosecution due to their immunity.
"Since the UN has not waived immunity in this instance, its subsidiary, UNRWA, continues to enjoy absolute immunity from prosecution, and the lawsuit should be dismissed," the UN's response stated.
The US Department of Justice echoed this position. "The plaintiff's complaint does not present a legal basis for claiming that the United Nations waived its immunity. Therefore, because the UN has not waived immunity in this case, its subsidiary, UNRWA, retains full immunity, and the lawsuit against UNRWA should be dismissed due to lack of subject matter jurisdiction."
Attorney Gaby Meron of the law firm MM-LAW filed the lawsuit accusing UNRWA of complicity in genocide and crimes against humanity and is preparing a formal response to the court, Channel 12 noted in their report.
Channel 12 noted that this decision creates a significant legal hurdle for the victims of the massacre and their families, who must demonstrate that the immunity protecting UNRWA employees should be revoked.

If the UN is not going to waive the immunity of those employees, then they have further discredited themselves, and the US and our allies ought to walk out.
