God, that’s awful. And especially feeling like that. I hope you’re getting some support. Youve got a gazillion fans, and all of us would be happy to remind you of what a difference you make. Please take care of yourself!

But he’s not reaching out to the IDF and asking them to protect the victims?

S'okay. It's against my faith to invite a schmuck.

It’s this supposed immunity from the capacity for great evil that now lies in ruins. Like the Rabbis at Yavneh we’re faced with the need to construct a way of being that doesn’t rely on that broken edifice.

You're not going to believe it, but that's the second time someone I follow has used that reference today.

That would work for those students who see the intrinsic value of learning as comparable to the intrinsic value of playing well. But for those who are in class to acquire a grade, to then acquire a degree, there's no downside to the AI.

Given that Jews make up something like 3% of American Zionists - the others being Evangelical Christians - even if people are being targeted because they're assumed to be Zionist, it is their Jewishness that makes them targets. That may not technically be antisemitism, but it's close enough.

The second is the way that, among militant anti-Zionists, Jewish identity has often become a surrogate for Zionism in picking targets (see, for example, the "Free Palestine" brick thrown through the window of a kosher grocery store in Brookline).
