Matthew Yglesias Josh Barro You have no idea what actually happened yet. I don’t either. I just know you don’t go from whatever the police said the next morning after having barred all journalists from the area, and threatened to arrest the dean of journalism if he stepped out of *Pulitzer Hall* on campus.

Jews in 1930s Germany had far more in common with Palestinians today than w/Israeli Jews, in terms of oppression. Because antisemitism in Germany THEN was white supremacy. And anti-Palestinian hate NOW is white supremacy. All that’s changed is who gets to define whiteness. 16/

The way some college administrations & politicians speak of "Jewish safety" is contemptuous of Jewish safety. It is not even about Jewish safety; it's the utilization of *some* Jews as cover for a political project that erases other Jews. 3/

I'm a Jew. I believe in the safety of Jews. NOBODY'S safety is enhanced by responding to speech with guns. I *am* concerned about the rise of antisemitism, which is why I reject antisemitic--& anti-human--suppression as a means of fighting antisemitism. END

Boycotts for me but not for thee missionlocal.org/2022/03/san-fr…

Wiener later felt mixed about the efficacy of boycotting anti-LGBTQ states. That’s fine. You can argue about boycotts. But at no point did anyone say Wiener’s boycott meant he wanted to “destroy” Florida, Alabama, Texas, or 14 other states. To do so would’ve been bad faith.

At the start of COVID, the government implemented many social programs that helped people who were struggling. These programs were immensely popular. Yet instead of fighting hard to extend and expand them, Democrats prematurely declared the pandemic was over and let them expire.

4/ The piece actually mentions video footage of Maccabi fans chanting anti-Arab slogans. The New York Times actually verified this footage. (left) It doesn't mention antisemitic slogans, on the contrary, it mentions 'anti Israel slogans" (right)

6/ TLDR - The headline of this piece attributes violence in Amsterdam to antisemitism yet provides in the text evidence primarily of anti-Arab racism. Seems like incredinly shoddy and biased reporting.

They are just gonna profile everyone wearing a mask and a jacket lol, soooooo wouldn’t it be fun if everyone wore masks when outside so they never ever find this guy?
