There are so many excellent comments I need not add any. Apparently a "legal firm" "prepared" the 3 university presidents. In hindsight, they would have benefitted from a meeting with Mr. Tomasky and others with deep understanding of the long, tortured history of Palestine.

There are so many excellent comments I need not add any. Apparently a "legal firm" "prepared" the 3 university presidents. In hindsight, they would have benefitted from a meeting with Mr. Tomasky and others with deep understanding of the long, tortured history of Palestine. Ufortunately that firm was not up to the task OR maybe something else was going on behind the scenes. Stefanik represents a danger to democracy but so do people too long insulated and assured they would be above reproach. McCarthyism returns dressed in red baseball caps. People who do not understand that the congress passed a resolution equating uttering the term "Zionism" was an anti-semitic utterance. IMHO nothing could be further from the truth but there it is. The government of Israel has acted with impunity toward Palestinians and done everything to end any action that might have created a Palestinian state. I'm not saying that would have been the best option given the long and complicated history of peoples in this part of the world, but that was the intention 70+ years ago. And we should know more and understand more about the why behind all these failures. Today at last the NYT has a long article about how Bibi and Likud have over long years supported Hamas. Bibi has been so busy protecting his backside with his far right government that he did not respect his own security services concerns. October 7 did not have to happen. That it has happened, that the very same brutality practiced by russia, wagner group, isis,etc cannot and should not be missed. Terror is the point. What the government of israel proves now is that they can match the brutality of hamas. And the US, instead of withholding their UN vote, vote no. Why the UN is made powerless day after day, year after year. More than sad.
