Do we know why the fire department didn't completely extinguish the fire he set on New Year's Eve? If they had fully contained it, the second fire, the one that devastated the Palisades wouldn't have started? A tragedy in so many ways.

I'm still waiting for the emergence of *great art* from this dark time. Where's our "Fortunate Son"? Or "Ohio"? "Woodstock"?

Totally agree. I'll never forget the shock and horror I felt on October 7, 2023. And I'll never forget how Netanyahu's radical administration highjacked that moment, when the whole world joined Jews in our grief, by launching a massive attack on Gaza.

Who's next? Maybe this awful person who, if memory serves, won a defamation lawsuit and got a ton of $.

Nicholas Sandmann gained public attention in 2019 as a student at Covington Catholic High School following a viral video of a confrontation at the Lincoln Memorial. As of October 2025, he is working in Washington, D.C., for the Senate Republican Conference.

Seems like what we need is more genuine dialogue, less "I win, you lose" debate. Bari Weiss thrives on the latter.

As a Jew who was distressed by the treatment of Jewish students at some of the pro-palestinian protests on campuses, I object to the issue being used by Rowan and others to strong-arm universities into policies that most likely will not make a difference for Jewish students or anyone really.

Genuinely wondering if this is an example of what Ezra Klein thinks is "doing politics the right way." Not sure what the equivalent would be, but should Dems pretend to be distanced from whatever the controversial thing is to win future elections?

What I think some folks forget is that many of these same people were celebrating the death of Jews *on October 7, 2023* before Israel invaded Gaza. For some, dead Jews is always a good thing.
