"the real problem we have here"

I like that the only response is a straw man.
What if I told you there are good electoral strategies and there are bad electoral strategies, and it's beneficial to differentiate between the two?
This, from @stuartpstevens, make a ton more sense to me. Also how is Stu not verified
Weld isn't conservative enough for you, fine--to each his own! But running a candidate that *you can envision being capable of the job* is much more convincing than "let's see if we can make Trump lose his mind and if we survive someone will become president and they'll be fine."

They threw bottles at Jews, at Yale a girl was stabbed in the eye with a flag, several Israelis were assaulted in NYC.

Anyone who got suckered into thinking this was about free speech should acknowledge how wrong they were. As I wrote *four months ago*: commentary.org/seth-mandel/wh…
A father's note posted to instagram has made the rounds: Image
You can defend free speech without defending mob violence, so the fact that many of you have chosen to do both is quite telling. I don't care what you yell before or after you stab a girl in the eye with your palestine flag because she's wearing a Jewish necklace.

Some thoughts on the Matisyahu concert last night and seeing the full scene for myself:
~ There were two people whose presence I deeply appreciated. The first was the owner of the 930 Club. Matisyahu thanked him from the stage. He was there to show his support for the idea of free expression and the power of music. More like him please!
The second person--and I mean this 100% sincerely--was the will-call window worker who wore a brand new Palestinian flag hat. Instead of ditching work to sabotage the show as others elsewhere had done, he showed up to work, was polite and helpful while having his own protest.

This NYT piece by Lydia Polgreen accepts the lie of Jews as colonizers but argues it's best not to murder them anyway. Important to point out that this is what the world is used to: *letting* Jews live. Welcome to the future, where Jews don't need your permission. Image
The Polgreen piece represents a particular line of thought throughout history: if you ethnically cleanse your land of enough Jews, the Jews lose their inalienable human rights.

This is why the modern blood libel of decolonization caught on: it lets NYT columnists play God.
If you believe in decolonization, here's a simple test: No one on earth has a greater claim to indigeneity than the Jews of Hebron. (There's not even a close second.) So whatever you're comfortable with Jews doing to take back all of Hebron, you can advocate for elsewhere.

I accept Obama’s apology for his complicity in both Gaza and Dolan.
There's no excuse for what Hamas did. At the same time, on the other hand, ergo, vis a vis, concordantly, if there were an excuse for what Hamas did, this is what it might sound like, hypothetically, in a sense, as the crow flies, one could say, in effect

MSNBC's coverage is such a national embarrassment that Greenblatt has to shame them on live tv--and they are completely blindsided by it. What an unbelievable disgrace this network is, a stain on America's image and a laughingstock akin to Russia Today. Propaganda for tyranny.
Greenblatt shaming MSNBC on air also specifically for showing pictures of 'rubble in Gaza' or 'rockets' instead of the still-bleeding rape victims was also fire. Then he turns to the camera and says I'm begging you, watch the footage. Translation: watch a different network.
Maybe this'll be a wakeup call for those at MSNBC who have stayed silent for far too long, and now at least understand that their silence is a moral disgrace of the highest order. Something needs to force a change inside the network. Some sliver of humanity must be regained.

It appears I missed some drama regarding the ADL this weekend. I'll say this as clearly as I can:

The groypers tweeting 'ban the ADL' are bad people with bad intentions and bad designs. Don't be fooled, don't "consider their argument," they are ghouls who hate you. No nuance.
I have written more than anyone on the problems of the new ADL under Greenblatt from a Jewish communal perspective, and most ppl here know about the ADL's campaign against me. But the ADL and I are arguing over how to keep Jews alive. The groypers want us all gone.
תזכר את החבל.
The reason I write what I write about the ADL is because I want to restore it to what it was under previous leadership. And I'll continue to do so. I don't think I need to explain to you that that's not what the legion of Nick Fuentes wannabes is trying to do.
