I want to associate myself with Rashid Khalidi's devastating critique of the Columbia University administration infringement of free speech and blatant bias against pro-Palestinian students. This should not stand in a self-respecting university. It is a disgrace.
"What frustrates me is that you have people like Brett Stevens & Bari Weiss, who for a long time have been saying, 'The intellectual discomfort is on university campuses is good -- that people should listen to ideas that they find really challenging and really difficult and that's what education is about.' And there's a really clear line between that & personally going up to someone & harassing them or threatening with violence...But just because someone is making a series of statements that you disagree with, that's not the same, right?"

Who committed the chemical attack in Ghouta,Syria in 2013?
Not Assad.
"We knew from intelligence reports that Saudi Arabia and Turkey were supplying the basic chemicals for sarin to al-Nusra in Syria.
The sarin used was not the sarin held by Syria's military"
-Seymour Hersh
The BBC presenter asks the American university professor and economist Jeffrey Sachs and mentions China's human rights violations, and the latter replies:
I don't know why you should start this interview with human rights violations in China! What about the US violations of human rights in Iraq, Syria and Libya...
Awkward moment in UN Security Council just now. Ukraine FM asked members to stand for a moment of silence in memory of lives lost to Russian aggression.
Russian diplomats refused to stand saying they will only do so if it is in memory of all victims since 2014. Watch the rest.

The problem is the “solutions” they are considering would very likely have the exact opposite effect.
