      2/ I don’t give hot takes on many items for a reason. Many years ago Bob Dylan made the mistake of recording, in my opinion, the rocker “Julius & Ethel” about the 1953 executions of the Rosenbergs. I think it immoral to have a position on the Rosenbergs:https://youtu.be/1NVGdKj8Wpw

      3/ As I see it the execution of Julius as a filthy spy was justified. The execution of Ethel Rosenberg was an abomination. It was a “message killing” dropped like Luca Brasi’s vest on the doorsteps of progressive Jewish homes: “Go too far left and we *will* orphan your children.”pic.twitter.com/wnoVlbzldB

      4/ I grew up in a world where the Soviet side wasn’t yet clear so all I had were my intuitions. In the mid ‘90s, my intuitions were confirmed that Julius was a ring leader and traitor. Ethel wasn’t totally clean IMO, but a minor figure & executing two parents was unconscionable.

      5/ My point here is that often you don’t have a ‘take’ on a topic like “the Rosenbergs” because you‘re breaking the topic into components. That’s how I feel about @IlhanMN for example. I don’t have a single take. I feel differently on BDS v El Mozote: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/El_Mozote_massacre …

      6/ I am for and against Hijab as it is not one thing. I am for and against freedom for “hate speech”. I support @aoc’s courage on campaign finance, and can’t stand the authoritarianism. And on&on. This gets exhausting. So I don’t weigh in the way people who are on one team do.

      I might be as well (with some ground rules). But I responded to you on Twitter Glenn because you picked this format to get in a dig. I’d like you to not trash me directly or via the IDW here. Even here I was *constructive* & respectful despite how you’ve treated my friends. Fair?

      And Glenn, thanks for engaging. I’ve had a pretty dim view of some of the ways you treated @SamHarrisOrg in particular. But other things you have done have been quite impressive. I would love to find out if we could work through something here. The dichotomy leaves me bewildered.

      This ponderous, evasive thread doesn't address what is being alleged, which is that the "IDW" types have carved out a giant Israel-sized exception in their critique of outrage culture -- indicating that the critique was hollow to begin with.

          Another tedious tweet from you. 1) I don't have to personally know you to comment on the IDW's well-established hypocrisy 2) I never purported to be "objective," which has always been a phony pretension 3) There is no universal "journalist code of ethics," you just made that up

          The main problems here are that you think "the IDW" is something other than Eric's theatrical label for an undefined group of people. That and thinking that everyone who believes in free speech has a duty to respond to the never-ending march of DC melodrama or be hypocrites.

          It's because the larger culture refuses to define cult, theocracy and the positive effect of dualism on religion. Talking about Omar without those things is like painting with a wet noodle. She will destroy the Democrats because they can't stop her either. It's amusing.

          Many accuse the IDW of needing a safe space. There’s a universe between seeking a conversation with intelligent people who can engage substantively/empirically/honestly WITHOUT ad hominems/emotive discourse/hyperbole/dishonesty/circular-reasoning & seeking a SAFE SPACE.

          Here’s the difference: anti semitism is not part of outrage culture. That’s why there’s no pushback when anti semitism produces genuine outrage.

          Tracey won't answer to his own hypocrisy. Apparently US Jews DO have divided loyalty because we want Israel to survive as a nation & take measures to ensure that. But Ilhan DOESN'T have divided loyalty by siding with Palestinians who want what she wants - Israel to be liquidated.pic.twitter.com/H8RGUIGWSN

          This is stupid. Eric is talking about a complicated, nuanced topic, and calling it such. And you think you can scapegoat him as well as destroy an entire critique of culture. In fact, you might more honestly conclude that this topic is complex while others are simply critiqued.
