Very touched by everybody recalling Edward Said and Columbia 68 protests in this poignant moment.

There is just a tiny bit of problem with this story. You know what Edward Said did to SDS student protesters?

He called the campus police to get them thrown out of class!

LARPer in keffiyeh calls for the 7th of October to happen 10,000 more times.

Let's do the math:

That would equate to around 12 million dead Israelis.

It is actually very easy to have an anti-Zionist Seder. Simply remove the story, the ending, the purpose and the prayers. On second thought, just go out for pizza.
