Texas is criminally charging (!) public school bureaucrats for using government funds to campaign against school choice.

Government officials always do this, it’s really nice to see them get charged. Republicans are finally getting serious. Public education is simply the enemy.

Yes! Of all the things to get mad about. “Companies might offer to sell me things I need and want.” No wonder progress has stagnated. We can’t even wholeheartedly embrace the easiest stuff. Stupid humans.

If you want one historical event to demonstrate that the Arab case against Israel is based on nothing but antisemitic hate and has no moral legitimacy, you can't do much better than the North Yemen Civil War (1962-1970)

This conflict killed 100,000 to 200,000 people. It was…

'Israel is the source of problems in the Middle East.'

Wikipedia lists 16 coups and civil wars in *Yemen alone* since 1948, none of which involved Israel.

I'm sure they'll say somehow the psychological damage of knowing Jews were in the region forced them to do this.

A sign you're dealing with a demagogue. They respond to statistical arguments with 'tell that to the specific people I want to focus on!!!'

The racist case for closing the border is at least sometimes interesting. The socialist case never is. It's like that with a lot of things.

Massacres of Christians

Aleppo: 1860
Nablus: 1856
Damascus and Lebanon: 1860

The idea that Israel brought religious conflict to the region is more than a lie, it's an inversion of the truth.

Israel is a flicker of light in a region with a dark and brutal history.

I haven’t checked into every incident listed here, but yes if you’ve read any history at all you know that Muslims in the Middle East have always oppressed and massacred non-Muslims (and each other!). Blaming Israel for the region’s problems is simply antisemitism.

This is actually a reasonable argument, as it respects human dignity and and goes against the trend towards safetyism and pathologizing everything. Medicine should follow these wise young scholars.
