Looks like Macron doesn’t wanna play?
“France Bans All Pro-Palestinian Protests In Drastic Crackdown
‘ In a surprise move which is sure to be widely condemned as brazen and massive overreach stomping on free speech [Emphasis mine; Barry M.], the French government of Emmanuel Macron has just announced it is banning pro-Palestinian protests. [Emphasis in original] Paris says it’s necessary to maintain national security and prevent anti-semitic attacks.’
Opening graf:
‘ Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin announced Thursday in a letter to law enforcement across the country that they are “likely to generate disturbances to public order.“….’ [Emphasis in original]

Macron?
Doesn’t he know that shouting “Death to the Jews!” “Jews to the OVENS”, and intimidating and threatening Jews and Israelis is an Inalienable Right of Man?

(Guess that makes him just another ZIO STOOGE?…Right, Bob?)

Einstein pointed this out as a failure of academics that is due to the fact that their reality is words on the page without any connection to the outside world. Much harder to do in the physical sciences.

I believe that your interpretation (buying proxy war against Israel) is a better one, but there are nonetheless Danes in the case: American universities (faculty, admin, students), activist orgs (BLM, etc), and Democrats in general, whom the Right has been appeasing for years in a futile attempt to avoid their calumny.
It hasn’t worked.

More Kipling is indicated, because it’s a natural double-bill: The Gods of the Copy-Book Headings.”

The restaurant has always sat on this site which is very vulnerable to frequent electrical outages due to wind and rain. After a full remodel to add a computer system, when the electrical went out none of the five above mentioned functions could be performed.
1. The staff could not take your order
2 kitchen could not receive the order
3 food could not be served because it was not possible to cook
4. a bill could not be presented to the customer because all bookkeeping/cash/credit systems would not function
5. the cash registers and credit card systems would not work so customers could not pay.

In short, for seventy-plus years this restaurant was able to function completely even during an electrical outage. After computerization, if the wind came up nothing functioned–it became a complete shutdown. mmm…

Why is this?”

JohnTyler,
Not sure I can give a good answer, but from my 40+ years in academia I found the following: Almost all of those you talk about are in the humanities and social studies. The typical such person comes from an upper class family background, went to private schools, even college. I don’t ever remember any of them getting their undergrad or grad work from a state university. ie, they’ve lived their whole lives in a bubble. No McJobs in their background in high school, or working summers to get through college. No, they spent their college summers flitting about Europe, etc., and were quite proud of the fact. I guess what I’m saying, they have very little real world experience. I even saw some of that in a few physics theoreticians who tended to be much more liberal in their politics. Never had to turn a wrench in a lab, or work with the physical plant guys.

There is only one word that mattered in President Joe Biden’s remarks on the terrorist attack on Israel—and it was a word he didn’t say.

For those who care about actual U.S. policy rather than feel-good schmaltz, the point of Biden’s speech was not the oft-repeated dubious anecdote about meeting with Golda Meir during the Yom Kippur War. Nor was it Biden’s rich declarations about how he was raised in synagogues—along with being raised in Puerto Rican communities and growing up in Black churches. Rather, the entire speech was centered around the absence of one word: Iran.

Yes, and what is really telling is that Egypt is keeping its border with Gaza closed. Not sure if Egypt is aligned with the idea of promoting many casualties in order to display to the world how “bad” Israel is, or they just don’t want those refugees coming in.

And now Hamas will finally get what they deserve. Israels past mistake has been not finishing what they started. Driving them back is not enough, they need to be forced to leave. And yes, many more innocent lives will be destroyed. Gaza can and should be flattened. It’s inhabitants force to flee. Surrender or die. At least Israeli caused atrocities will be minimal, unlike Hamas.

It’s the only way to be sure.
