This is ADL's solitary statement after Nazis won state elections in Germany for the first time since the Holocaust:
ADL
@ADL
Ed Sheeran’s fans came for a concert, not performative, biased and hateful anti-Israel “activism” from his opener, Macklemore.

Imagine being a Jewish or Israeli fan who came with family or friends to enjoy the show, only to be confronted with this hostility from the stage. Or feeling so unwelcome by the opening act that you leave early.

This isn’t new for Macklemore. He has a record of demonizing Israel and Israelis, falsely accusing Israel of genocide and engaging in antisemitic rhetoric and behavior.

This is completely unacceptable.

They don't give a fuck about wait times. They want rich people to have access to healthcare that the poor and working class don't. It makes them crazy to have to 'endure' the same healthcare as a pleb. Which is also why they starve the system when in power.

On July 31, Simon Baron-Cohen urged people to tone down the rhetoric on twitter re Jason Arday, and pointed to his own research on autism and suicide. Alexander Kustov responded with "Shame" Elon Musk with "Evil," and a wide variety of people came out jeering. The kind of cruelty on display here.

@drianpace
If an academic is in such a condition that public scrutiny of his (equally public) work may cause suicidal urges, then as a matter of urgency he should take leave and receive care. Using this threat to try and silence critics is about as low as it gets.

This is amazing. You can't call out plagiarism because SUICIDE. 

This is the cheapest argument imaginable. It's what the trans movement did to shut down debate.

I care deeply about people's mental health. 

However, this is not a satisfactory defense for at least two reasons. 

First, what about the mental health of the people who's work Arday stole? 

What about Paula Zwozdiak-Myers? Women face an elevated risk for certain mental health

Fun fact: While Jews made up less than 1% of the population of Argentina, they comprised up to 12% of those disappeared during the Dirty War, due to the antisemitism of the right-wing junta and the association of Jews with leftism. More Jews were killed in the Argentine Dirty War than on 10/7/2023.

Quote from Guardian story on Argentina/England "
Fast forward to 91 minutes, the score somehow still 1-1, a scoreline that looked by now like a glitch, like temporary signage, and it was of course Messi who produced the final cut. By that stage England were strung like shipwrecked mariners around their own box, scurvy- ridden, desiccated, a single skinny hand somehow still fixed on the tiller.". --Barney Ronay
