I realize that I’m not the target audience for Coven Academy, but I’m totally the right demo for anyone paying for the damn Disney+ subscription for any kids watching it, so if you show a 1998 high school yearbook photo that’s supposed to have a teenaged Tiffani Amber Thiessen in it, COME ON!
!["I don't think that there would be an October 7-style incident if there wasn't 75 years of apartheid," he said.
"It was not an incident," I countered.
"Yes, October 7, whatever you want to call it..."
"No, whatever you want to call it."
"The tragedy of October 7, the war crimes that took place, an event like this would not happen if 75 years of apartheid did not lead up to that point. It's an act of desperation. So..."
"Raping someone is not an act of desperation. It is just a crime."
"Yes, but regardless, people are not born to be savages. They turn into that due to their environment."
At the end of August, Piker sparked a new controversy by suggesting on Twitch that American Jews, by appearing to be unconditional supporters of Israel, exposed themselves to violence. "You're running around, basically tying your entire identity to a country that inevitably will be seen as basically Jewish ISIS [in reference to the terrorist organization], and you're saying, as Jews, this is all we care about.

[Berkeley, California] Barb staffers remember with amazement when the Peoples Temple regularly sold 500 Barbs a week. Organizers recall the two thousand demonstrators Jones produced for the International Hotel showdown. Day care, medical care, soup kitchen, a widely distributed newspaper. It was all very impressive.
Jones seemed to be a genuine "progressive.” He never failed to support the "correct" side of every pressing social issue. And he was apparently able to command the attention of liberal politicians and express his constituents needs.
