The Yale Alumni Magazine arrived in our mailbox with a cover reminding the Righteous that Yale students were on the Right Side of History (TM) against the “other apartheid regime” (i.e., not Israel) back in the 1980s:
The article, titled “The shanties on the plaza”, never explicitly mentions the noble Palestinians nor the modern apartheid state of Israel, but the parallels are pretty obvious and I think we can all agree on who was in the right back then.
What about the Extremely Unrighteous? From December 2:
The incoming dictator threatened the entirely peaceful hostage-holding Gazans with “Those responsible will be hit harder than anybody has been hit in the long and storied History of the United States of America.” Considering what we did to Tokyo (100,000 civilians killed in one night), Hiroshima and Nagasaki, I’m not sure how this promise could be fulfilled.

- “Nelson Mandela’s support for Palestinians endures with South Africa’s genocide case against Israel” (state-sponsored PBS): “We have stood with the Palestinians and we will continue to stand with our Palestinian brothers and sisters,” Mandela’s grandson, Mandla Mandela, said at a pro-Palestinian rally in Cape Town in October, days after the Hamas attack in southern Israel spurred the war on Gaza. Mandla Mandela, an ANC lawmaker, wore a black and white Palestinian keffiyeh around his neck as he spoke to a large crowd.
Looks like 2 million people live in Gaza so it should not be a big deal to kill at least 200,000 in one night.
Funny shanty story from when I was there for my fifth reunion:
“A fire today destroyed a wooden shanty that was built by Yale University students to protest apartheid in South Africa, and a Yale alumnus taking part in the 30th reunion of his class was arrested and charged with setting the blaze.
A member of Yale’s class of 1958, Dr. Elwood D. Bracey, a physician from West Palm Beach, Fla., was charged with first-degree arson by the New Haven police fire investigative unit. Alumnus Chased From Scene
In a twist possible only at a college reunion, he was seen running from the fire at about 7:20 A.M. by Dr. Michael L. Charney, a member of Yale’s class of 1968, who followed him from the scene and called the police.

Meanwhile, in Afghanistan, every-single-woman-and-girl has been stripped of their rights entirely to nothing, and yet the so-called Righteous remain silent about those in Afghanistan.
My proposal to address this issue: universities should establish study abroad programs in Afghanistan, taught exclusively by women professors.
In Saudi Arabia it is same for women forever. Most of the 9/11 terrorists came form Saudi but we love Saudi Arabia and their King and all Righteous remain silent.
