Free speech should be the standard at MIT, Harvard and Penn. Instead, we've got double standards. Using the wrong pronouns? "Abuse." Calling for intifada? "Context required."
Safety first on campus. Except for Jews. The Free Press's @SulkinMaya on the hypocrisy of the college presidents.

Best framing I have seen so far to explain the radical realignment that is underway:
The deepest insight for understanding the lenses people use to understand the world comes from @KlingBlog in his superb, concise book, The Three Languages of Politics. Simple idea. Liberals see the world as a struggle between oppressor and oppressed. Conservatives see the 1/

It’s been amazing this week to watch the left invert every rhetorical device they’ve used since 2020, all to avoid having to criticize terrorists dedicated to Jewish genocide. It would be hilarious, if it weren’t so reprehensible. 2020: Silence is violence. 2023: People can’t be expected to comment on every situation. It’s okay to just keep silent, especially while events are still unfolding. ———————— 2020: If you’re nitpicking small details instead of focusing on the big picture, you’re doing so to avoid your complicity in atrocities. 2023: 40 babies weren’t actually beheaded. 40 babies may have been killed, and some of them may have been beheaded, but that’s not the same as 40 getting beheaded. Details matter. ———————— 2020: Universities must proactively take a stand and speak out in opposition to racism. “Academic freedom” is a false concept used to enforce oppression. 2023: Universities need to maintain neutrality and ensure that they do not make any statements that jeopardize the principle of academic freedom, which is a paramount virtue in the realm of scholarship. ———————— 2020: You must immediately and forcefully condemn an attack, even if investigations are ongoing. 2023: You can’t expect us to release statements opposing an attack within four days, when the facts are still being discovered. Israel hasn’t even allowed UN investigators at the scenes of these “alleged massacres.” ———————— 2020: People are responsible for their words, even if they are just working-class teenagers in small towns. Freedom of speech doesn’t mean freedom from consequences. 2023: Graduate students at the most prestigious university in the world are just kids and cannot be held accountable for statements they sign. This is cancel culture. ———————— 2020: Believe all women. 2023: Where is the physical evidence of these “alleged rapes”? ———————— 2020: It’s not enough to be non-racist. If you are not actively anti-racist, it means that you are, in fact, racist. 2023: How dare you question whether I support terrorists just because I haven’t actively spoken out against Hamas freedom fighters. ———————— 2020: We don’t get to tell people in affected communities how to deal with their pain in the aftermath of violence. 2023: It is Israel’s responsibility to ensure that violence doesn’t escalate. ———————— 2020: Anything that disproportionately affects one group of people is oppression and must be condemned. 2023: Settlers—a term that includes all Israeli Jews—are not civilians and are therefore all valid targets for attacks.

Douglas Murray says that “only the Israelis” are expected to have the "proportionate response” in a conflict. “That would mean that in retaliation … they should find a town of exactly the same size as a town like Sderot and go door to door and kill precisely the same number of babies.” @JuliaHB1 | @DouglasKMurray

Imagine spending 4 years calling everyone a Nazi, then saying nothing when 40 Jewish babies are slaughtered in the worst pogrom since the holocaust.

Now let the snivelling apologists for rape, murder and torture explain how this, too, was justified.
'About 40 babies were taken out on gurneys... Cribs overturned, strollers left behind, doors left wide open' Our correspondent @Nicole_Zedek continues to survey the horror scenes left behind in Kibbutz Kfar Aza where Hamas invaded and murdered dozens of Israelis in their homes

Instead, Harvard is being defined by the morally unconscionable statement apparently coming from two dozen student groups blaming all the violence on Israel. I am sickened. I cannot fathom the Administration’s failure to disassociate the University and condemn this statement.

“When we are murdering and serial raping women and children, let’s not go too far and damage any buildings related to religions that we want to outlaw”
While Palestinian fighters were given strict orders to respect churches and monasteries, Israel responded to the attacks by bombing a Mosque in Gaza.

Stranger than fiction: 😳 Seattle’s Homeless Task Force nominated Thomas Whitaker to their board. The board is responsible for over $200m in taxpayer money. • In 2010 Whitaker was charged with raping a 13 year old • In 2012 he was charged with raping a 15 year old • In 2018 he was found living in a tent with a minor. This all came to light when he was called out by a fellow board member that he had ALSO PREVIOUSLY molested. 🤯 What was the board’s response? Whittaker’s sex offender status DOES NOT disqualify him from serving on the Homeless Task Force. They even scolded the board member THAT HE MOLESTED for bringing up his history of rape. This is the left in a nutshell. This is taxpayer money at work.

Some powerful lines in this clip: - “I am black. I am not oppressed. I am free.” - “Stop forcing people to accept they are oppressed. They are not.” - “If Black Lives Matter, they should matter in black neighborhoods.”

How many Americans with college degrees want to move their families to Russia or China, and be a taxi driver just so their kids can grow up there? Zero? Such Russians and Chinese move here by the thousands. That’s the difference and always will be.
