@kittysundae @BluegrassRabbi He called Amit Segal a Nazi ("sounded better in the original German") after Amit published a comprehensive article on the demographic challenges of non-serving, non-productive Haredi.

Slander is considered to be one of the greatest sins in Judaism. He's lost all my respect

@BluegrassRabbi What a wonderful explication of the perversity of the ultra-orthodox and their selective retelling of Jewish history, which emphasized individual choice and action (consistent with the Haskala). Focus on collective identity and blind obedience is a huge aberration.

@MaxNordau @hpmcd1 I broke down and paid the big bucks. Worth it.

[Ryan Hocker @RyanHocker1]

@MoishIndig Satmar is a gross cult that's leached itself onto the Jewish people.

[Ryan Hocker @RyanHocker1]

@DaveAtPiano @JewishWonk That's heartening to hear, but JD Vance is a notable, and critical, exception ("pearl-clutching," "what everyday Americans really care about is...")

@Ike_Saul @kmele Kmele "tangling 2/ people on this site" just showed how unserious he is intellectually and rather pathetic emtionally.

@ProfDBernstein Throw NGO's into the mix.

(I would be particularly interested in finding out who FIRE's foreign donors are. They've developed this weird agenda of mis-characterizing every situation as "suppression of pro-Palestinian voices!")

@Martina @nytimes It's amazing how one-sided and distorted the tweets from this account are. Like a huge advertisement for why kids should stay in school and get an education.

@Aizenberg55 If the data includes natural deaths, wouldn't you expect to see a spike in the right side of the graph?

[Ryan Hocker @RyanHocker1]

@DavidAvraham2 @tbradleysh @Aizenberg55 Yeah, I think overall this approach is stupid. As you say, it's what force is justified under laws of war, not what the effects of the force end up being...

[Ryan Hocker @RyanHocker1]

@EylonALevy @TomerPersico Hey, are you still supporting your friend Trey Yingst? If so, not interested in your work...

[Ryan Hocker @RyanHocker1]

@Sarahjdublin To be fair, it's more of an empirical observation.
They generally really are white trash lowlifes. From Boston to Dublin, skanky trash.

@BoromirSrecko @JoshLipnik @silverrj99 Can't promote terrorism--people have screenshot the regulations. Once you do, they can revoke your status as a permanent resident.

[Ryan Hocker @RyanHocker1]

@ScottGreenfield The rules saying Green Card holders can't support terrorist groups or promote terrorism ("intifada") generally have been on the books for a while. If you disagree with them, why didn't you object earlier (i.e., before a high-profile case increases the narcissistic rewards)?

[Ryan Hocker @RyanHocker1]

@JoshLipnik @silverrj99 It's unambiguously a violation of rules governing his posession of a Green Card.

[Ryan Hocker @RyanHocker1]

@UncleBobsReason @ScottGreenfield It would be more admirable if it grappled with the actual facts of this case. Rather, this is a generic argument used as a "look at me" and how virtuous I am.

[Ryan Hocker @RyanHocker1]

@1AMorey It's factually incorrect. He didn't need to provide material support to Hamas.

[Ryan Hocker @RyanHocker1]

@AriCohn Yaaaaas, Queen! You slay!!

[Ryan Hocker @RyanHocker1]

@TheFIREorg @glukianoff @AdGo @unherd Yes, enforcing drunk-driving laws might also have a "chilling" effect on people who enjoy drinking and driving.
(And, occasionally, it might even happen that someone within the legal limit gets pulled over). This is all part of living in a society following rule of law.
