You would like a guy who downplays genocide when it's politically expedient.

"Green has provoked controversy with articles on Jewish identity, criticising Joe Biden's agenda as "bad for the Jews"[26] Aaronovitch took special issue with Green criticising Biden for formally recognising the Armenian genocide, since it damaged relations with Turkey"

My favorite part of that rubbish, was that Boeing would still have its engineers, but Harvard would only have professors.

Let's just pick one of those professors. How about George Church, who has founded or cofounded 50 biotech companies pioneering our ability to do genetics and almost single handedly has pioneered almost the entirety of next generation sequencing and the rest of the developments.

He's not alone, the number of companies that Harvard professors have founded is ridiculous, and if you'd make Harvard, and the related companies founded by its professors publicly traded, it would easily be the most valuable company in the world.

But yeah...they just have professors.

There are so many errors that it would take me all weekend to lay them out but I will address one:  "Market forces are closing liberal-arts colleges whose ideological mania outstrips their endowments and brands."

The vast majority of liberal arts colleges are closing because they are poor, largely rural and have trouble attracting students in a declining demographic. I mean do you think Cardinal Stritch had an "ideological mania?"   And that's why it closed?  Just laughable.

I know people from Holy Family up in Manitowoc and at Iowa Wesleyan both of which closed in the last few years. If I suggested that they closed due to DEI and an "ideological mania," they would look at me as if I had a hole in my head.

This is what happens when you wake up every day to fight a culture war. You lose sight of how the world actually functions. And that is why Harvard is going to be just fine.

Representatives from the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) admitted to running a notoriously violent and racist Telegram channel following an investigation from Haaretz.

On October 9, 2023, the Telegram channel "72 Virgins—Uncensored" started posting gore-filled photos and videos from the frontlines of Israel's war on Gaza. An investigation from Haaretz revealed in December that the Israeli military ran the channel. The IDF initially denied the accusation but reversed course after an internal investigation, Haaretz reported on Sunday. It's an unsurprising revelation that highlights the grotesque appeal of Telegram, and how governments increasingly use the platform to spread propaganda.

Videos and images on the channel included the dead bodies of Palestinian civilians and resistance fighters alongside racist text. "Exterminating the roaches...exterminating the Hamas rats...Share this beauty," one post said above pictures of captured Palestinians. Another post showed an Israeli soldier dipping their gun into a liquid. "What a man!!!! Lubricates bullets with lard. You won't get your virgins," the text on the video said, according to a translation from Haaretz.

Well, their leaders have rejected both aid to Israel and strengthening the U.S. border - even though a vast majority of Republicans voted for it - because the previous president threatened them with retribution if they give the current president any "wins." Politics over country.

Meanwhile, they seem fine about giving Ukraine to Putin, a blood-thirsty dictator who would wipe America off the face of the earth if he could.

Y'all are right. I'll take a long break from this thread unless I have something specific to add about the situation in Israel

Your "long break" lasted all of about ten days, and then you came back to post something completely off-topic.

It wasn't off-topic at all. There's a bipartisan aid bill for Israel on the table, and Ukraine aid and border policy is in the same bill. Which, just as I said, is being torpedoed.

But thanks, Mr. Scoop Policeman.

  We all know that's why you introduced politics (yet again) into a topic where it doesn't belong.

So much for your "long break." It was nice while it lasted I guess.

It's fine.  Once Hamas is eliminated fully they can all just return to their homes and grow up with normal lives.

The esteemed speaker says he can't move it forward because it doesn't include legislation addressing the border.
The same legislation addressing the border that he killed last week.

But that's what it is all about.  Not getting anything done and then saying that Biden can't get anything done.  The low info voters eat that crap up.
