Halie Soifer, CEO of the Jewish Democratic Council of America, called the remarks “incredibly dangerous,” warning of their potential to embolden right-wing extremists and threaten Jewish security worldwide.

    they ideally need institutions behind them to protect them and ensure they’re only reporting the truth.

    lol you should check out who owns and runs the institutions sometime.

    as long as they accurately describe reality, offer explanations based on history and uncompromising contemporary interviews, as well as promptly correct any mistakes with humility, then they’ve done their job. I don’t see how that’s the least bit dangerous.

    What’s dangerous is believing in this nonsense.
