Well said. Those cockroaches do get to say whatever they want - but not anonymously; the rest of us have the right to know who they are and to decide how we respond. None of those squalling about being exposed is a minor - all of them should and will face the consequences of their horrific glee, for the rest of their lives. We should never let them forget it.

The other, unexamined must-laugh-rather-than-cry facet of the Harvard Wanna-Pogromites is that they publicly presented themselves as supporting something -- even signing their names to documents -- and then were aghast that their knowing, public, acknowledged support might have consequences.

I always use my real name online. Always have. And one of the reasons is that, if I'm gonna say something, I'm damned well going to acknowledge it. That's what grownups do.

This was an accurate and incisive piece. My suggestion to the IDF is a time-proven formula: your goal should be unconditional surrender. The historical record shows that this can happen only if there is a 35% or more casualty level (dead and injured) among your enemy, otherwise you will have to fight them later, and not much later either. The Germans found this out about 1945

But, sir, it’s time that you, as a scholar, stop using comparisons inaccurately. The problem of the “Gordian Knot” didn’t involve threading. “Squaring the Circle” might be be more apt, yet similarly obscure. Such missteps befuddle your otherwise incisive rhetoric.
