The Columbia and Barnard students who were arrested should have spent the night in Rikers and those who are here on visas should be deported

Good for Israel. We don't need a new war and it is important to maintain the favor or the world, esp. US, UK, etc.

The Israeli raid on the birthday of the leader of Iran was intended to show Iran and the US that Israel can and will strike at Iran by any means necessary whenever wherever and by whatever means Israel deems appropriate. If you have read Target Teheran you know that Israel has been engaged in a Cold War against Iran that has been very successful and has resulted in the elimination of key personnel and the revelation of top secret Iranian documents for years . The authors of Target Teheran note that Trump’s ordered elimination of a key Iranian general was based on information gathered by Israel in Iran Unless Trump wins and Israel is given full operational freedom and the means to truly eliminate the nuclear enterprise Israel will continue to do what it has to do when it chooses to do so and wherever against the Iranian regime That was the message of the raid last night

first and foremost, I never expected any kind of response from anybody, so I'm just glad we are having discourse, I appreciate that and likewise have a seething contemp & profound discontent for team Obama-Biden policies . My immediate concern as an Israeli living in Israel, is the Israeli election and the much needed change of leadership needed here. We need not move further right than we are now with this coalition & I'm not sure Team Trump would help ;idk. "As America goes, so goes the rest of the world" & yes we must be wise whom we place in those leadership roles & place someone deserving of that office ; And not someone under investigation or going through trial (corruption/sex-scandal etc.) . . . It's time for change and we do not need more of the same. Respectfully. I do think America's role in the world affairs is vitally important,. We do not want the cede any of that control to Iran, China, or Russia. We need to tread carefully, and understand policies have consequences (good & bad) and utilize diplomacy & supremely careful with AI and reining in Military industrial complex only compounded by the use of drones, cyber-warefare & AI. Time like Progress marches forward. (I'm not sure if that is an actual quote or should be)

Thank you. Have a nice day

What is Happening at universities is a travesty , truly . And all the wire tapping Patriot Act & the like did nothing to prevent this over the past 20 years. Regarding Israel attack on Islamic Republic l I am glad the strike was what it was sort of a finger in the eye if you will; & agreed to demonstrate Israeli capabilities, especially on the Khomeini's birthday which is the icing on his birthday cake. Israel will do what it needs to do when/what/wherever it needs to, to defend itself & naturally has the right to do so. I do believe that keeping fundamentalism in check on both sides is important, lest these groups pour fuel onto this proverbial dumpster fire.

Speaking of fire with regards to self-immolation (which is horrid & profoundly sad); The fact that one would do such a thing will certainly make us question their mental faculties not to mention how we treat people with complicated Mental health issues. . . However, I recall the Cover of a Rage Against the Machine Album & on the cover was Quảng Đức a Vietnamese Monk on the side of a road intersection on 11 June 1963. He was protesting against the persecution of Buddhists in Vietnam (by Catholics not communists). Of course I wasn't around then but I feel like we've fallen far from grace & what Quảng Đức was giving his life for.

I am also just a little disappointed Tablet that there is hardly mention of Louisiana/ Missouri V Biden (big tech) as well as the FBI/ FISA issue with warrants etc. . . I really enjoy your writers & articles well done but it does turn my stomach when you guys are all about how great D. Tr#@p is.
