We don’t pass by on the other side.

The point in the report is that you shouldn’t say to somebody just because they’re Jewish, you must have an opinion on Israel. Any more than you say to anyone who is a Muslim you must have an opinion on any vile action that’s been taken by misquoting the good name of Islam.

Neoliberal democracy. Instead of citizens, it produces consumers. Instead of communities, it produces shopping malls.
