I also see Gaza camps are springing up in Oxbridge now. Sort of puts me in mind of those protesters shouting “hands up don’t shoot” at unarmed British cops a few years ago.

I think I mentioned, and perhaps shared a photo, of a protest that shut down several blocks of the middle of Cambridge last October when I was over there. The energy put off by the crowd, and the things being shouted, were off-putting.

My daughter lives in the building behind the crowd there.

Typical Friedman. You need to wade through the preening and portentous stating of the obvious to get to the core of solid common sense.

In this case, I think he’s right. The protesters know not what they do.

My friend, sometimes readers of the New York Times need the obvious stated.

How’s that old joke go? The Wall Street Journal is read by the people who run the country. The Washington Post is read by people who think they run the country. The New York Times is read by the people who think they should run the country due to their intellectual superiority.

The NY Times has far better recipes.

Well, here's what I consider a really good op-ed by Ross Douthat of the NYT. It offers no "solutions," no judgements--just a clear acknowledgement that life is messy, and most moral judgements come down to shades of grey.
