I was truly shocked to see news of this horrific attack just now:

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/jun/02/boulder- colorado- attack-rally The attacker has been apprehended; no bonus points for guessing that his first name is Mohamed. I hope he gets the death penalty and that the victims recover quickly. The report I read does not mention fatalities so I'm hoping the injuries aren't too bad although I imagine the psychological trauma is going to be very difficult to overcome if it can be overcome at all.

I hadn't heard this yesterday. How awful. I wonder if all those who have proclaimed over the years that incendiary rhetoric is responsible for inspiring people to commit violent
acts will keep silent since, you know, Jews are the chosen
scapegoats.

If they don't condemn it, throw their own reasoning back on them by declaring that "silence is violence".

I can't remember a single report of someone Jewish ever physically attacking the protesters at any of the all-too-common pro-Hamas rallies, do you? It's almost like one side actually believes in freedom of speech and the other side doesn't....

 'Freedom of speech' seems an unlikely factor.  Seems generally
acknowledged that today's Jewish culture is more civilized than today's
Muslim culture (fwiw).
 

I'm currently watching the hippopotamuses on THE VIEW desperately trying to explain how the Colorado man who lit pro-Israel protestors on fire in Denver this weekend wasn't a far-left terrorist. They’re suggesting the whole thing was a false-flag perpetrated by Mossad to stoke anti-Palestine sentiment.

I guess their old standby of "mostly peaceful protest" didn't seem likely to fly so they concocted a false-flag op to explain why it couldn't possibly be one of those wonderful, peace-loving Palestinians expressing his true feelings....

 False flag or true, both sides will doubtless use the attack to gin up
sentiment leading to more of the same.
 

I read the other day that even the Disney brass have become uncomfortable with the crap those harridans spout daily and have told them to tone it down or else. When you're too woke for the Disney board, maybe it’s time for some serious self-reflection.

I saw some commentary on that which pointed out that The View has really high ratings and toning down the nonsense by the hosts would probably hurt those ratings and Disney's bottom line so Disney is just pretending to want changes. I guess we'll see if they're serious in due course. If production management and/or hosts start leaving, we'll know that Disney meant it; if nothing changes, we'll know they were just pretending.

 I don't know what this says about its "really high ratings", but all I know of The View is what I hear from people who hate it.
 

I've heard speculation that a lot of the people who watch it are "hate-watching": viewing it so that they can vent at the hosts whenever they say something odious.
