על המטוס היו 180 ישראלים שחייהם ניצלו, 180 ישראלים זה מספר הישראלים שנהרגו בשעה הראשונה של השבעה באוקטובר, ואותו ראש ממשלה, לא הגיע, לא דיבר, לא שאל, לא ניחם, אולי כי לא היו בחירות ב-27 באוקטובר 2023

אה! לא אמרתי פיקוד העורף!
I feel really strongly that Free Palestine has shown their moral bankruptcy this week.
If they gave a single fuck about the civilians in Gaza, they’d have been pressuring Hamas to step down. But they were totally silent.
They don’t actually care about the civilians they just want Israel destroyed. I will not take moral lectures from people whose literal policy preference is a second Holocaust.
Greta Thunberg is using a photo of Israeli Evyatar David as an example of Israeli cruelty towards Palestinian Arabs.
This is the most “Every allegation is a confession” post I’ve ever seen.
Bibi isn’t to blame for antisemitism, but he has helped make life worse for Jews by absolutely conducting the war in the worst way possible and in a way clearly meant to drag it out. Hamas has rejected plenty of ceasefire deals, but we know, because members of the government have said it, that Bibi scuttled plenty of deals as well. Also, the way Bibi goes about things for decades now has divided Jews and has driven a wedge between American and Israeli Jews. So in that way, yes, Bibi has made life harder for Jews in Israel and globally. Does Bibi cause antisemitism? No. Does he help fight it? No. But he isn’t responsible for it. Antisemitism was getting worse before the war, and it’s going to continue to get worse once the war ends. A mixture of economic uncertainty, poor education, social media, and bad actors is why it's getting worse.
Gladwell’s career wouldn’t have been destroyed if he’d spoken out against the glaring unfairness, not to mention dangers, of allowing men to compete in women’s sport. He’d have faced loss of approval from the cultural elite and received activist blowback, and even that wouldn’t have come with the tsunami of death and rape threats women face when they speak.
Non-famous people, mostly women, girls and gay people, have genuinely had their careers and indeed lives destroyed for saying what Gladwell was too pusillanimous to say, and Gladwell didn’t lift a finger in their defence. Like many well-known liberals, he was happy to watch members of the great unwashed bullied, traduced and defamed, fine with the erosion of freedom of speech, comfortable with young women being robbed of sporting honours and facing serious injury, because he valued his own standing and security more highly than acting on the feeble promptings of his conscience.
A rash of condescending men will swarm my mentions when I post this to tell me I should be pleased about Gladwell’s cautious backtracking. No. He hasn’t changed. He’s merely sensed a shift in what it’s acceptable to say and feels safe to align himself with the new consensus, excuses for his previous behaviour to the fore. He isn’t an ally, he’s a weathervane.
Changing sides years late, and only after you’ve realised the non-elite opposition is winning, isn’t a mark of integrity but of arse-covering. Those whose overriding focus is remaining in good odour with the in crowd can never be trusted. Gender identity ideology has been the modern arts world’s McCarthyism, and all Gladwell’s done is reveal himself as a man who’d have named names, but felt a bit uncomfortable about it afterwards.
