"Time for justice — versus irresponsible celebrities.
I am collecting ideas —
1)
How can we create a boycott of all celebrities that have decided to back terrorists like Hamas, who have yelled 'From the river to the sea' or 'Free Palestine,' knowing well that that means killing Israel and murdering Jews.
2)
Justice means making sure these people never get another job, never get financing for another film, never have representation by agents.
And any film, play, TV show that hires these antisemitic pieces of crap will be boycotted and advertisers avoided.
3)
I support free speech, free discussion, free debate.
But anyone that advocates murdering Jews or Black people, or any group of people out there based on religion, race, national origin, or other immutable status, is not about free speech."

The very same people who somehow think that Charlie Kirk was provoking by merely engaging in dialogue with people who wanted to engage with him and who disagreed, do not see those who protest for Hamas and chant, "Free, Free Palestine" and
2)
Palestine will be free from the river to the sea" are engaging in real provocations because they seek the destruction of the State of Israel and for the land to be free of Jews.

1)
The evidence consisted of 'opinions about what Bolsonaro might have been thinking' and on the assumptions of those politically opposed to the left. Yes, the same kind of phony charges they tried in the USA against Trump, and in Israel against Netanyahu, and
2)
the same kind of false accusations that many politicians on the right find made against them. Lula’s Brazil cannot tolerate democracy, dissent, or legitimate elections, while he allies his nation with the likes of Venezuela, Cuba, and Nicaragua.

An interesting conversation from Facebook:
Daniel Franks asked, "Qatar is reportedly a major sponsor of Hamas terrorists.
Why does the USA maintain a relationship with this Wahhabi-led government?
Why is the Trump administration permitting this relationship to continue?"
1)
Roger Froikin answered, "Qatar is weak and will go with whoever threatens it. 300,000 Qatar citizens and 2.8 million foreign workers and the hope that the US/UK base keeps them from losing what they have.
2)
Daniel Franks asked, "If they’re so weak as you say, then how does it appear to have so much influence?
Trump could easily put pressure on the Qataris."

The days between Rosh HaShanah and Yom Kippur are a time when we should think about how to become better, both individually and collectively.
1)
Our wise men used to call us, the Jewish people, Am Kedusha, which roughly translates as “a holy nation.” But what does that actually mean?
We also call places "holy" but what makes them "holy"?
2)
This question may seem frivolous. But that's because the Torah teaches us to understand that believing in something, someone, place, or event is endowed with a special spiritual status is idolatry.

@joelpollak Joel Pollack from Breitbart News said, "I was Charlie's friend, and I published his political writings for the first time back in 2012 when he was in high school.
1)
@joelpollak And he wrote to me asking for help with a debate he was having in his high school economics class. Charlie had incredible talent and leadership qualities, commitment, love—everything that goes into being an ordinary human being.
2)
@joelpollak And I'm reaching out to the millions of young people that he inspired because all of us feel a sense of loss, but you have to feel a particular sense of loss. You've lost a friend, you've lost a mentor, you've lost a big brother.

A tenured professor can be fired for moral turpitude. According to the American Association of University Professors (AAUP) Statement of Principles, tenure can be revoked for cause, including "moral turpitude," 1)
which is defined as behavior that would evoke condemnation by the academic community generally. This can encompass serious misconduct such as criminal conduct, sexual harassment, selling grades, theft, or other actions that bring the institution into disrepute.
2)
In cases involving moral turpitude, the requirement for one year of notice or severance pay may be waived. Examples of such dismissals include professors fired for using racial slurs in class or making offensive social media posts.
