“I don’t speak because I have the power to speak; I speak because I don’t have the power to remain silent.” Rav Kook z"l

If it wasn’t so frightening, one might be able to recognize the irony in the sight of campus progressives trying so hard to signal progressive virtue that they fall victim to a deeper moral shame.
Nine different law student groups at the University of California at Berkeley’s School of Law, my own alma mater, have begun this new academic year by amending bylaws to ensure that they will never invite any speakers that support Israel or Zionism. And these are not groups that represent only a small percentage of the student population. They include Women of Berkeley Law, Asian Pacific American Law Students Association, Middle Eastern and North African Law Students Association, Law Students of African Descent and the Queer Caucus. Berkeley Law’s Dean Erwin Chemerinsky, a progressive Zionist, has observed that he himself would be banned under this standard, as would 90% of his Jewish students.
It is now a century since Jewish-free zones first spread to the San Francisco Bay Area (“No Dogs. No Jews”). Nevertheless, this move seems frightening and unexpected, like a bang on the door in the night.

In a new development in the Lev Tahor saga, the two cult leaders who were still in custody were reportedly released Thursday by a Mexican court, signifying that the court had not verified the suspicions of human trafficking and other crimes assigned to them. The crimes carry sentences of up to 20 years in prison.
Menahem Mendel Alter and Moshe Yosef Rosner were the only two members of the cult left in custody, after the others had succeeded in escaping from custody on Wednesday night.
Lev Tahor sources confirmed that the two had been released and stressed that this proved that the entire arrest operation was a false arrest as they had not been involved in human trafficking or any other offenses. However Mexican enforcement officials told local news outlets that they had gathered evidence of such crimes and that the two would have to stand trial for them.
A Mexican official involved in the arrest said that the escape was planned meticulously. “People waited for them with cars and they fled within minutes. The official said that “we are trying to locate them and return them to custody.”
The official said that the members of the cult had caused extensive damage to the detention facility. One of the guards was injured during the escape.
A Lev Tahor source told Kikar Hashabat that “they can continue searching. We have left the country already, we planned this operation well. Regarding the damage they caused, the source said that “they can’t keep us in subhuman conditions, this was our response to the conditions of custody.”
A teen eco-warrior is going viral for a live radio interview in which she ripped people flying to vacation hotspots like Fiji — before admitting she’d just got back from that exact trip with her family.
Izzy Cook, 16, left NewstalkZB host Heather du Plessis-Allan laughing hysterically with her admission Friday while discussing the Greta Thunberg-inspired School Strike 4 Climate she is leading in Wellington, New Zealand.
During the chat, the teen environmentalists pushed a plan for people to have to apply to take gas-guzzling flights and only for approved events.
When her interviewer asked if people would be “allowed to go to Fiji” and if such a trip would be deemed “necessary,” the teen replied firmly: “In the current climate crisis I don’t think that that’s necessary.”
After admitting that her own last flight was “maybe a few months ago,” Cook hesitated when asked where she’d flown to.

When her interviewer asked if people would be “allowed to go to Fiji” and if such a trip would be deemed “necessary,” the teen replied firmly: “In the current climate crisis I don’t think that that’s necessary.”
After admitting that her own last flight was “maybe a few months ago,” Cook hesitated when asked where she’d flown to.
The teen finally conceded that it was “pretty ironic.”
“But to be honest it’s not really a trip that I wanted to go on but I can’t really get out of it because my parents wanted to go,” she insisted.
The radio host asked if the teen was “embarrassed that your parents did that to the planet and then forced you to do it as well?”
“Of course I’m not embarrassed,” Cook said firmly.
Asked if she had “a terrible time” on her sun-kissed vacation, the teen admitted, “not really” — sparking more loud laughter from her interviewer.
“I’m sorry, mate,” du Plessis-Allan said, struggling to control her laughter enough to call the teen “such a champion” with a “brilliant future ahead” of her, and promising to have her back on the show in the future.
Clips of the exchange quickly went viral, with many replying with laughing emojis and calling it hypocrisy “at it’s finest” and “on steroids.”
“Another elitist spouting do as I say not what I do,” one person commentated, while another said: “It’s all virtue signaling from these libs.”
“She’s already like a typical politician! Hypocrite!” she said.
However, Cook’s mom was not laughing — tearing into her daughter’s interviewer in a scathing op-ed for online mag The Spinoff.
“On Friday evening, I listened in horror as my 16-year-old daughter had a phone conversation with someone who appeared to be bullying her, laughing at her, and talking over her,” Rose Cook wrote.
“As soon as she got off the call I demanded to know who the hell was speaking to my child in this way,” she said.
Cook said that although her daughter’s activism had given her “some experience with dealing with the media,” she “wasn’t prepared for Heather du Plessis-Allan.”
“Commentators like du Plessis-Allan don’t give a s–t about climate change,” she seethed, accusing the radio host of relying on “‘gotcha’ moments for point-scoring and discrediting their opponents.”
“They seem particularly keen to go after our youth, whose future is most at stake,” the defensive mom wrote.
She, too, insisted that the teen had not wanted to go and instead “wanted to stay home and study.”
“But, selfishly, I insisted, because I wanted to spend this time with her,” the mom claimed.
“Heather du Plessis-Allan became a mother this year. I hope that no-one ever speaks to her child the way she did to mine,” the mom ended her angry rebuttal.
DIN: Mrs Cook...if your daughter can't take the heat tell her to get the hell out of the kitchen!
