I don’t think this is true—I think this misunderstanding might be from John Green misquoting Frost’s “A Servant to Servants” (which reads “He says the best way out is always through”) & then appending the line “And the only way through is together” in “The Anthropocene Reviewed”.

We need more writers to come out in support of Israel. The media bias is clear.

Be careful! During Halloween, the veil between our world and the great beyond is at its thinnest. You will never be in more danger of becoming an actual slutty nurse

Biden is morally right to support Israel. Enough of the killing of Jews. Enough with antisemitism.

I'm on the side of SAG. If that means waiting longer for them to get a good deal, then I'm ok with waiting longer for Sandman Season 2. When we all eventually sit down to watch it, it will feel better knowing that the actors on screen were better compensated.

Check on your Jewish friends. The antisemitism being shown by the left is nauseating. There is only so much of this ill-informed nonsense we can take.

My politics boil down to people should be free to live their lives without fear and pain. They should be clothed, housed, and allowed to prosper. Their bodies should be nurtured through access to food and medical care. Joy and security should not be the hoarded resources they are.

Why do so many academics fail to understand the meaning of genocide? It is rather embarrassing.

I’ve seen some anti-Zionist arguments. And nothing makes me so revolted. Pure anti-Semitic drivel.

Happy to see a lot of anti-Israel bigotry being dealt with by rational argument. Peace can only have a chance when human life is valued.
