Excellent Pat. I refuse to use any disclaimer when I speak about Jew haters. I am a simple man who knows the difference between truth and lies. I do not use the words "Yes But". Yes But is the mating call of an arsehole. Simple - You either support Israel and condemn the insane, barbaric and sexually depraved Islamist dogs OR you support Evil - I tar them and their sick supporters with the same brush. There is NO context, no nuance or "It is complicated". Life is simple - true or false - good and evil. Am Yisrael Chai. Simple
We need to start choosing tools that fit the problem. When someone is interested in engaging with the view to understand, then you use the logic and nuance, along with every possible disclaimer. When someone simply spews hate, we need as blunt of a tool as possible. And finally, when some one knows not of what s/he speaks of, then they need education in ways they can understand it.
The problem lately seems to be (particularly withe campus movements) is that people grow up free of consequences for their choices and actions. People need to learn and directly feel the consequences of their action. Otherwise, we are going to lose several generations, and indeed our current civilization.
This was one of your best articles ever, in a growing collection of splendid articles. I will share this article immediately, and keep it always.
Thanks Allan. I appreciate your words.
Agreed! This one is especially on the mark.
Agreed.

Sadly true.
