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.

Better to see them for who they are.
Discrimination.
In our pursuit to mandate all people and things are equal, we have left behind some immutable, if not currently popular, Truths.
- Some societies are better for mankind than others.
- Some religions or segments of religious followers are mostly violent and toxic.
- Politics should be kept out of public education.
- All individual behavior is not equally desirable in well-functioning society.
- Melting Pots work.

What is sadly hilarious is the fact that this is the COEXIST crowd.

True, that.

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

Well maybe, just maybe they won't VOTE for Hamas again. That's what.

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.

"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.

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 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.

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.
