If you ask Polanski whether, since the Tories are led by a black woman or Reform UK’s chair is Muslim, they couldn’t possibly have issues with racism, sexism or Islamophobia, he’d reject that ‘logic’.

Remember that when he tries to use his Judaism to deflect about antisemitism.

I've spent years struggling to prove that the sunk-cost fallacy isn't actually a fallacy. No sense in giving up now, though.

Solidarity with Michael Ben-Gad, Professor of Economics at City University.

Students are demanding his sacking simply because he is an Israeli Jew who has done (mandatory) military service.

The antisemitic harassment he is being subjected to is horrifying. I hesitate to amplify it, but British academics need to understand what is happening.

@wanyeburkett I think the issue is that, in both instances, he was insistent that the opposing position was indefensible.

@AyoCaesar In this context, would you not distinguish between, say, being a member of the Lebanese Armed Forces and being a member of Hezbollah?

So, Radiohead front man Thom Yorke has posted an 8 page statement about the Israel/Gaza conflict on Instagram.

In it he claims Netanyahu and 'his crew of extremists are totally out of control and need to be stopped' because he has a 'transparent desire to take control of Gaza and the West Bank'.

He criticises the 'blockade' and asks us why 'endless thousands of innocent human souls are still being expelled from the earth... for what?'

He calls for the 'international community' to do all they can to make Israel 'cease'.

But in a surprising turn of events, Yorke goes on to say:

'At the same time the unquestioning Free Palestine refrain that surrounds us all does not answer the simple question of why the hostages have still not all been returned? For what possible reason?

Why did Hamas choose the truly horrific acts of October 7th? The answer seems obvious, and I believe Hamas chooses too to hide behind the suffering of its people, in an equally cynical fashion for their own purposes'.

So, Israel and Hamas were given a good kicking in Yorke's statement. But if you could hazard a guess, which side do you think is responding positively to it and which side is having a massive meltdown about it?

You know the answer.

Thank you for your courage, Thom Yorke.

@HarleyShah Is your implication here that ‘child sex abuse ring’ sounds more innocuous than ‘grooming gang’?

@datepsych I’d also draw a distinction in that people tend to be ‘into’, e.g. the Simpsons per se, rather than automatically into a ton of other shows with similar visuals/styles *because* of the appearance/setting
