This is a fact that anyone paying attention hasn't already worked out. Great job breaking it down. Upgraded to paid today. Keep up the good work.

Thanks for the article and the run down of the Free Press’s Pro Israel stance.

I lived in New New York during those Columbia years when she tried to get the entire Middle East Apartment closed I believe. I had been to Gaza twice so I knew some of the situation that was brewing and had been for years and was extremely sympathetic to the palestinians. Thus, I k n e w from the beginning who she was and what she was so when she started the Free Press I realized where she was going. She wants to be the New York Times and it seems as though she's getting there. To all those who support her, I wonder do any of them ever wonder why there is not a pro Palestinian writer ever on that show?

I was reading your article and initially thought that it was your attempt to paint Bari Weiss and the Free Press as the bad guys since may have pointed out how you are carrying the torch for Islamic Jihad. However, as your article continues, it shows that you are just an Islamic Apologist that really doesn't defend Islam, but blames Israel for all the problems of Islam. I hope it didn't take you too long to write this, it is 20 minutes of my life that I will never get back.

A Zionist apologist claiming the Dissident is an Islamic apologist. Thanks for the hasbara.

Love how you resort to name calling instead of pointing out where I might be wrong. Because you can't, you call me a Zionist apologist spreading hasbara. I am in fact neither.

Keep Exposing these Racist Zionist Jewish and Christian Supremacist Psychopaths, especially the ones who pretend to be truthers.

America: Where you can Holocaust Defenseless Women and Children unmercifully for 2 almost 2 years but if you speak out against it you should be jailed for Anti-Semitism - which is a STOLEN WORD JUST LIKE THEY STOLE THE LAND - ALL ARABS ARE SEMITES AND MOST JEWS ARE NOT!

I'm not anywhere near Corbyn politically, but I knew at the time he was being shafted. It was an abundantly obvious cancel culture smear campaign. Because it was against the left it kind of caught everyone off-guard. How could the left of 2019 fight back against cancel culture? Of course they couldn't, they looked like hypocrites doing so.

The best thing Weiss is doing is waking people up. Hundreds of millions of people will never be fooled by Zionists ever again.

Just wanted to add one thing, speaking of "cancel culture" and Bari Weiss being the queen of cancel culture. That is the infamous 2020 Harper's letter, that went beyond Zionism and had general hypocritical leftists and pseudo-leftists like Noam Chomsky, Cornel West and Jeet Heer signing right besides Weiss. https://socraticgadfly.blogspot.com/2020/07/jesse-singal-hypocritically-goes.html

(Oh, and on the issue at hand, The Fuck Press was lying about the famine in Gaza just last week.)

The mindless support that Israel tends to get in this country is only surpassed by the appalling antisemitism of this and other outlets.

Which in turn is surpassed by the appalling predictability of your wretched reaction to the substance of this article🤦‍♂️

I generally like this outlet for the different perspective. This is one perspective that I don't appreciate.

Interesting that you can't be indifferent to Israel as say you might be toward the Saudi-Yemeni conflict. You either must be pro or anti; something about Israel just demands a Manichean reaction.

Interesting that you didn't address my first comment.

Interesting that your first comment here, to which I originally responded, undercuts your second comment, as you clearly weren't indifferent yourself.

I feel the same as Zippy86 This overbearing article was a complete waste of time for me and the writer Rather than present a balanced narrative all the “article” does is paint Islam the victim while ignoring the historical facts of Islam’s militant subversion of complete societies and it’s still happening in Europe

Many of the butt-hurt commenters here have other issues beyond Zionist apologetics, it's clear.

And, I'm doing pre-emptive blocking. Deal with it.

Great Job! You managed a Herculean task, however, I don’t think the math works. Einstein and others, showed how a theory can be proved with math. You have no numbers, only an endless related in some way facts of information. A circle is a circle and unless you change it, it is not a square. Sorry………. And I dont read the Free Press.

So much respect for your tenacity in refusing to stay silent. It must be hard not to despair, retelling the same story of needless suffering to stir up some of compassionate or angry solidarity. I heard this morning that midwit managers of some Euro-states have finally been pushed into a 'tutt tutt' because the persistent, well reasoned, mantra of moral outrage is seeping in through their ear plugs. It's been a hum of some comfort to me for a while. Also, thanks for including links to sources. My ego is so slippy where there's a bit of confirmation bias to be had.

I enjoy reading your stuff except all the hate Israel stuff. Hamas did a bad thing that started this latest war. I say live and let live. But you cannot.

Live and Let live! Somewhat of an odd choice of words considering the fact that Israel is not allowing any Palestinian to live.
