^ The "openly Jewish" remark could have had a less inflamatory choice of words. Perhaps conspicuously Jewish ? 

Most of the Jews that I know are too smart to get into a situation where angry Palestinians are all a flame.  Seems to me the coppers were only trying to protect the "openly Jewish' man from possible or even probable harm.

Agreed. Knowing he was on camera the copper should have been more circumspect with his choice of words.

This guy was out to cause problems, no question. The coppers action were in my opinion justified and proportionate to the situation.

Huge shitshows occurring on some of our college campuses. Demonstrations opposing aid to Israel are pretty serious at several of our colleges.

I am in partial sympathy with the mostly Palestinian demonstrators. On the other hand I am in entire  agreement with DL....."calm the fuck down". It ain't like the demonstrations will have a positive affect on the situation in Gaza.  This boils down to mere show business no matter how well intentioned the demonstrators may be.

I'll probably remember this item, damage be damned. Featuring the hippocampus again. 

I'll try not to, or no more than the gist of the gist.
I think I can use it to advantage.
You said we'd travel when we had more time, how about Europe in May?
Do you realise the damage a trip like that would do to our hippocampuses?
Oh well, there's a new TV series that sounds good.
Hippocampuses.
Detectorists again?

How about all the people on both side who are "openly aflame" calm the fuck down? Nothing is solved by being so, it only exacerbates the situation. Non-citizens of the US (or elsewhere) should just be deported back to wherever they came from. We have enough white supremacists that we can't send away; that's bad enough already.

Some current research indicates that we are ingesting plastic particles that have found their way into foods. Micro and nano particles appear in vegetables and many types of meat. Whether the accumulation of plastic particles in our bodies will kill us is yet to be determined.
