Behind the endless demands to “condemn Hamas” is a strategy to silence and dehumanize Palestinians and their supporters.

Don’t use @hotelsdotcom or any @Expedia services. They give “guaranteed” reservations, but they are meaningless. I made a reservation weeks in advance and when I arrived, the hotel was “oversold” and they did not honor the reservation.

We can’t have an intellectually honest conversation about the “future of the Republic” without acknowledging one fact that everyone seems to overlook. And if you aren’t going to say it, then I can’t take your “Democracy-is-on-the-ballot” opinion piece seriously. A thread.
