        Glad some are seeing that extremism, whether left or right, is still extremism, and always spews hate.

        Nothing pushes people with good ideas into the realm of bad ideas quite like a dose of religion😕

        This is a slight piece, that every reader should vet. Leftist hate's a big problem, but don't define race/fem/Palestinian activism simply.

        Being against Zionism in its state of Israel form does not make one hateful. Being against Zionism as a whole might be more problematic.

        @bariweiss the tweet was about the upside of Sharia. It has both up and downsides. Like upside of Bible: Jubiliee, despite #Deuteronomy20pic.twitter.com/6mtKp6aMrt

        A wacky bunch to be sure. But being anti-Zionist is embracing hate? #AlbertEinstein

        In your book, "Better angels" you itemize the problematic violence the Bible prescribes #Deuteronomy20. Does that make you antisemetic?

        It certainly does, by the scholarly standard of this feel-good piece. Frustrated, because the issue of leftist hate is real and endemic.

        Yes. Know of some better articles that address leftist hate? Links please! FYI, my other pet peeve is leftist anti-nuclear bias.

        Progressivism is over. Nothing to do with enlightenment. Just the old jewish plan to destroy Europeans. It's a self destructive cancer.
