There?s a Whole Lotta Political Engineering Goin? On Sat Mar 15, 2025 09:00 | James Alexander
There's something distinctly illiberal about what goes under the name 'Political Science', says Prof James Alexander. Half its practitioners want to control our thoughts and the rest wonder why no one trusts government.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4Its not just in Gaza but throughout occupied Palestine that the violence against the indigenous people continues.
Under police protection gangs of immigrant settlers parade throught the old Streets of Jerusalem threatenting to carry out pogroms against the Arabs who have lived there for centuries.
" The settlers chanted “death to Arabs” and other racists slogans while marching in Arab markets and the alleys of the Old City. "

" The settlers were marching in the city and chanting slogans against Arabs and Palestinians, calling for expelling them from the Holy City. "

For a moment like that, any price is worthwhile. "

Israeli army spokesperson confirms that crowd dispersal methods include shooting children in the head with live ammunition. No farther explanation seems to be required for this action.
The IDF spokesman this week: "During an activity held by an IDF force in the village of Beit Omar, a violent disturbance developed, in which dozens of Palestinian youths stoned the force. The force retaliated with crowd dispersal measures and identified a hit of one of the stone throwers..."
