Ahmed al Ahmed, the man who tackled one of the Bondi killers, became an Australian citizen 3 years ago.

He took 5 bullets, and fears he'll lose his left arm.

So anyway, if you were wondering how some of the largest and richest schools in the country were going to handle Trump’s crackdown on “antisemitism” that isn’t actually about antisemitism, it’s this: licking the boot.

OK, I wrote my “who’s going to enforce it?” piece. It’s a lengthy read, trying to respond to a lot of questions I’ve gotten over the past three weeks, but it’s about democracy so I decided it was worth it to lay out in depth, with examples, what I’ve been talking about here and elsewhere.
