@NYCMayor You have NO PROBLEM with all of the Muslim Countries, so Why is Jewish self-determination the one national right you can't unequivocally support? #JewHater #hypocrite #MuslimBrotherhood #Taqiyya

[The Margin of Error @alanmercerphd]

@NYCMayor If peaceful protesters were unlawfully detained, hold the authorities accountable. But that doesn't establish your broader accusations against Israel.
You've condemned Hamas, yet you've refused to affirm Israel's right to exist specifically as a JEWISH state.

@Bigdaddy_alex1 The better question is: Why was a High School Senior on a bus with a 3rd Grader in the first place?!

[The Margin of Error @alanmercerphd]

@JustinCChang Extraordinary allegations require corroboration, not cinematic presentation followed by a critic’s declaration that the case is closed.

[The Margin of Error @alanmercerphd]

@JustinCChang This what was supposed to be a film review, repeatedly turned disputed allegations into statements of fact. #NAZA

[The Margin of Error @alanmercerphd]

@JustinCChang Anonymous sources can produce important journalism. But anonymity also means viewers cannot independently assess these soldiers’ identities, positions, access to information or knowledge of the complete targeting process.

[The Margin of Error @alanmercerphd]

@JustinCChang He even treats one anonymous soldier answering “yes” when asked whether Israel is committing genocide as though that carries some special evidentiary weight.

[The Margin of Error @alanmercerphd]

@JustinCChang Instead, Justin Chang describes “mass killing,” accepts claims about deliberately bombing families and faulty AI, and praises the film for exposing a “machinery of death.”

[The Margin of Error @alanmercerphd]

The filmmakers, for their part, say their sources were extensively vetted and corroborated. That dispute is precisely what NPR readers deserve to know

[The Margin of Error @alanmercerphd]

Its newly released detailed response also disputes the film’s descriptions of targeting procedures and AI, arguing that interviewees describe limited stages of a much larger process while omitting operational commanders, legal review and civilian-harm mitigation.

[The Margin of Error @alanmercerphd]

The film’s sensational “500 NAZA” claim comes from an anonymous interviewee. The IDF categorically denies ever planning, approving or carrying out a strike in which 500 civilians, or anything close to that number, were expected to die.

@MaximCrypto0 am I too late? I need $100k to donate to my students so that they can each create a $10k portfolio...

@mehdirhasan Fans didn’t buy tickets for a “Free Palestine” rally. The world is sick of this shit . We don’t support Nazis.

[The Margin of Error @alanmercerphd]

@mehdirhasan @grantstern 100%! I support them because they don't want me to convert or die...

[The Margin of Error @alanmercerphd]

@mehdirhasan Freedom of speech is not freedom from consequences. "Free Palestine" is widely seen as a call to erase the Jewish Homeland. You don' get to turn a concert into a political statement (advocating for terrorists) and then keep perfoming in stadiums owned by successful Jews.

[The Margin of Error @alanmercerphd]

@macklemore Funny how "All Humans" never seems to include the Jews...

[The Margin of Error @alanmercerphd]

You missed the point, @strausszelnick. RDR2 wasn’t the missed opportunity. Red Dead ONLINE was. Sales don’t equal long-term support. Fans had the roadmap FOR YOU: ranches, lawmen, outlaws, robberies, roles. The world was built. Rockstar just let it coast. https://t.co/QiLTje8Eqm
