Thank you for this judicious essay. These people, the apologists for terrorism, live in a world in which compassion and accountability are absolutely morally polarized. All compassion is to be applied to the designated victims, and no accountability at all, no matter what they do. All accountability is to be applied to the designated oppressors, and no compassion at all, no matter what they do. This feels right to them, they are unaware of their absolute and total bias.
With this absolute moral polarization, they are capable of anything, anything at all can be justified, there are no limits to their moral license. We are seeing evil on display.
You are such an eloquent, humble, clear and thoughtful speaker, writer. You connect thoughts so well. I have wanted to know how to think through these issues as a Caucasian/European/American girl who works in the school system, and you are very helpful! Thank you for your hard work to do this! May God keep you safe!
Thank you for going down there in person, Eli. My 88 year old father would be ashamed if he saw this moronic tirade taking place on the very campus where he attended art school, about 60 years ago.
Eli, you and your father are truly amazing and I feel so lucky to read your wisdom and see your accomplishments. We need all this so much. As a retired professor I feel ashamed of the academic world and its neglect in fulfilling the mission of educating; not indoctrinating.

Thank you, Abigail. Same to you!

Wow. I'm sure many of the buildings he took classes in are still there. It's a beautiful campus.
Makes sense. He graduated around 1960.
Thank you - you and your father are much appreciated!
Thank you.
Well said. Thank you.

Thank you.
I was in Jerusalem, and other places in Israel, in June and July of this year.
I was at the Wall and I saw who was in charge...and it was not the Jewish people.
The tirade being spit out was not truthful.
It was blatant lies and propaganda.
Thanks for taking the time to share this with us.
