Can we agree that it was a dumb thing for Ken to say, but that the journo probably deserved a punch in the face anyway for being a prat, and that this will be blown out of all proportion as various groups use it for political leverage.“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”
- John 13:34-35 (NRSV)

I think Ken being dumb, journalists being *******s, and the media blowing things out of proportion are the standard assumptions.Why can't you be a non-conformist just like everybody else?

At least we'll get you first.
"That Stalin had embarked upon a policy of eradicating Jewish institutions became apparent in the winter of 1948 with the murder of the noted actor-director Solomon Michoels, and the subsequent closing of the Yiddish State Theatre in Moscow. This was followed by mass arrests of Yiddish writers, among them the poets Peretz Markish, Leib Kwitko, David Hoffstein and Itzik Fefer, and novelists David Bergelson and Der Nister. Some 30 Yiddish writers were executed on Aug. 12, 1952, but the secret was kept long after Stalin had died. In October, 1955, during the United Nations Assembly's session in New York, a high Soviet official still denied the "rumors" about the disappearance of Yiddish writers. Questioned specifically by this writer about the whereabouts of Peretz Markish, the Soviet Foreign Ministry's press chief unblinkingly told a story about having seen him in Pravda's office not long before""A person cannot approach the divine by reaching beyond the human.

Like the ADL...
Now there's an organization that is fast becoming what it hated.
There are huge billboards up around campus advertising the fact that Jewish students should go to them if they feel their lecturers are being anti-Semitic.
Since the number of anti-semitic lecturers at U of T in my experience is nil, hat this really means is that their lecturers might criticize Israel or Zionism (which have many critics on campus, and many supporters).
Only feebs vote.

Yes, but I cant spend all my time responding to Anti-US trolls, fortunately there are others here who will."A person cannot approach the divine by reaching beyond the human. To become human, is what this individual person, has been created for.” Martin Buber
