1)
But worse. One of them, made a point that she was creating a program to deal with both Antisemitism and Islamaphobia.
QUESTION: HOW MANY ATTACKS HAVE THEM BEEN ON JEWS AT UNIVERSITIES?
ANSWER - LOTS OF THEM.
HOW MANY ATTACKS ON MUSLIMS AT UNIVERSITIES?
ANSWER- NONE.
2)
And if a crowd gathered calling for the killing of Black people, what do you think would happen at Harvard, Columbia, U Penn? I'd bet students would be suspended and if they were foreign, they would lose their visas and be deported.
3)
But if the threats are to kill Jews, at Harvard, that is free speech."

Vayeshev
Genesis 37:1–40:23
"Vayeshev," means he lived, or dwelled, referring to Ya’acov (Jacob) finally settling down in one place permanently or at least that was his intent, surrounded by the financial empire he worked so hard to attain
1
He settles in Hebron with his wives and twelve sons, his dependents, and all his movable wealth.
He does seem to have a favorite, or so his other children believed, & though people say they have no favorites among their children, we all know that people do & for Ya’acov,
2)
that favorite was Yosef (Joseph). Ya’acov managed to get their son a nice multi-colored coat at a time when this was quite expensive and some jealousy resulted and Yosef, being young and naive tells his brothers that he had a dream that he would one day rule over them,

SOMETIMES ABOUT 2240 YEARS AGO, The Seleucid Empire was experiencing administration problems with control of the Empire, which exemplified Hellenistic Culture.
Over a culturally diverse population from Persia to the Mediterranean, & like many despotic rulers, they decided to solve the problem of dissent & division in the Empire, by demanding uniformity - something that repeats in every era worldwide - of culture, & religious practice
2)
In Eretz Yisrael, the orders to conform met resistance and when the Beit Hamiqdash in Jerusalem was desecrated on orders of the Empire, that crossed the line and spawned a rebellion, a guerrilla war against the authority of the Emperor,

Well, what did he do before that was like a dictator? They can’t answer that.
1)
Who has acted like a dictator — suppressed dissent, used the Government to go after opponents, supported bans on free speech, used social media for political purposes, by threatening and intimidating? Oh, that’s right — the Democrats and the Biden Administration.
2)
One CNN Commentator claimed that Prime Minister Modi in India and Italian PM Meloni also were dictators. Evidence? There is none. Slander is not fact. If you are not a socialist or a Muslim, you must be a dictator, I guess."
3)
accuses Netanyahu of trying to marginalize secular Jews - along with a litany of libel.
I think it is humorous that the writers on the left who have campaigned for 70 years that the Haredim should be drafted,
2)
yet they seem to object when Haredim volunteers to fight for their country.
It is hypocrisy clearly by people in the Jewish State who think like Ghetto Jews who try to appease Europe for their smiles, and who do not really want to be Jews themselves."

For the second time in a week, Kerry claimed that because of climate change "thousands are dying every day".
1)
I am getting tired of these kinds of hyperbole and more tired of the outright lies. Yet no one is questioning them and demanding proof from people like John Kerry.
Remember, if John Kerry was correct, New York and Miami would have been underwater by the year 2000.
2)
So, I'll ask. Mr John Kerry, EITHER PROVE YOUR CLAIM THAT THOUSANDS ARE DYING DAILY BECAUSE OF CLIMATE CHANGE -- OR SHUT THE HELL UP AND GET ON YOUR LEAR JET AND GO THE HOME.

1)
Last night, Hannity asked Trump about the media accusations that he wants to be a dictator.
Trump answered, “Yes, on day one. On Day One I will order borders closed and drilling”
And how was this reported? “Donald Trump admits he will be a dictator”
2)
What Trump said in context, was that he would issue two executive orders on Day One of his presidency.
