@EitanChitayat Iโ€™m not Jewish, but Iโ€™ve been utterly shocked and appalled by the anti-semitism Iโ€™ve seen. And the fact that it has happened so quickly means it was always there waiting for the โ€œrightโ€ moment to be unleashed. Itโ€™s disgusting.

@alybatt Agree. When students take over property, damage it, disrupt the university, it seems students don't understand the concept of freedom. Thankfully, the police finally arrived to restore order.

@ecomarxi My 4-step plan: 1. Get rid of Hamas 2. Accept a two-state solution, rather than rejecting it Every Damn Time. 3. Recognize that Israel exited Gaza in 2005. 4. Recognize that Palestinians live better in Israel than in Gaza and maybe there's something to learn there.

@FPWellman No. That's a misreading. This was a free-speech case. It doesn't allow someone to deny service. Instead, it protects people from having to say or write things they disagree with. This means *YOU* cannot be compelled to utter speech you disagree with.

@besttrousers So if a male with 10 years experience gets paid more than a woman with 2 years experience, thatโ€™s evidence of the gender wage gap? If a male investment banker gets paid more than a female teacher, thatโ€™s evidence of the gender wage gap? There are countless examples.
