Competing stories from my morning news feed spawned today's title. First, Columbia University finally invited the New York Police Department to remove pro-Palestine protestors from its campus. Some got arrested for hitting or menacing cops. Second, pro-Palestine protestors who had blocked the Golden Gate Bridge for several hours before being arrested got released without charges, while prosecutors 'tried to build a case.' Color me skeptical.
“… I think that traffic-blockers and other disruptors should be prosecuted. Ditto for those throwing paint or soup at art in museums. If their cause is just, their prosecutions will be judged unjust by the court of public opinion.
Martyrdom is powerful.
Thing is, they don't want to be martyrs. They want to disrupt others' lives without penalty.”
Brilliant, as usual … As you know, I always seek items on which we disagree, and I may have found one! 😲 You used the phrase “… idiots or Jew-haters”. I believe that to be a hater of Jews in general, you MUST be an idiot, or at least an ignoranus [not a typo].
