  • I read the articles you posted. 1- Doug Emhoff was speaking on the lack of distinction between Jewish people and the actions of the Israeli government. This is an actual problem, and he was citing instances of bullying based on this confusion without supporting the Israeli government. Unless I’m mistaken?

    2- that’s an article for the Jerusalem Post. One look at the comments tells me that she’s not supporting Israel. She advocates for a two state solution and says that the conditions the Palestinians are in is unacceptable.

    3- I think this could have been handled more tactfully.



  • Okay, this is going to sound really esoteric especially because I can’t find the study that was referenced but bear with me.

    I once watched an astrophysicist lecture on the Fermi Paradox, saying that it was missing a component because not all the population will be aware of any specific meme, meme in the scientific sense of a single unit of information.

    There was a study (I think in the 80s?) that showed that no matter what the information there will always be a percentage of the population who is isolated from it, whether that be by choice, or not. He retooled the Drake equation to include this number.

    Point being, there is always benefit in trying different ways to reach more people because there’s always going to be certain people who won’t be reached.
