BRITISH HOME SECRETARY POINTS OUT THE LONDON’S METROPOLITAN POLICE PLAYING FAVORITES WITH SOME PROTESTERS: “Unfortunately, there is a perception that senior police officers play favourites when it comes to protesters. During Covid, why was it that lockdown objectors were given no quarter by public order police yet Black Lives Matters demonstrators were enabled, allowed to break rules and even greeted with officers taking the knee? Right-wing and nationalist protesters who engage in aggression are rightly met with a stern response yet pro-Palestinian mobs displaying almost identical behaviour are largely ignored, even when clearly breaking the law? I have spoken to serving and former police officers who have noted this double standard.”

Yes, we’ve all noticed, but now there will be a firestorm of anger at her for pointing it out. (Bumped.)

Braverman's article is pretty mild on the facts. The reason it has provoked such wild opposition is that she is criticising an organising principle for many of our institutions, the Labour Party especially.

NCLA UPDATE: NCLA Encourages Fifth Circuit to Rein in Renegade SEC’s Unlawful Private Fund Regulation Effort. “The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) recently promulgated a rule that restricts—and in some cases prohibits—certain common contractual agreements between private investment funds and their investment advisers. The New Civil Liberties Alliance has filed an amici curiae brief in National Association of Private Fund Managers v. SEC, asking the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit to set aside this unlawful rule, which exceeds SEC’s statutory authority and ignores Congress’ design. Securities law scholars Paul Mahoney, Adam Pritchard, and J.W. Verret joined NCLA’s brief in the case, which draws from comments some of them filed during SEC’s rulemaking process.”

IRAN HARDEST HIT: Normalization with Israel ‘still on the table’: Saudi minister.

Falih responded to a question about normalization in a discussion session at the Bloomberg New Economy Forum held in Singapore: “This matter was on the table, and it is still on the table, and it is clear that the recent withdrawal (from the talks) explains why Saudi Arabia is so determined to make a solution to the Palestinian conflict part of broader normalization in [West Asia].”

When Falih was asked whether Saudi Arabia would use economic tools, such as the price of oil, to achieve a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip, he laughed and replied: “This is not on the table today. Saudi Arabia is trying to achieve peace through talks that seek peace.”

In 1973, Saudi Arabia imposed an oil embargo on the United States and other countries for their support of Israel in the Yom Kippur War against Egypt and Syria.

According to Falih, in the coming days Saudi Arabia is expected to host three separate summits with the participation of Arab, African and Islamic countries, aimed at promoting a peaceful solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

I don’t know if they’ll find a peaceful solution but it’s a sure thing they wouldn’t complain (at least not privately) about a violent solution that locked out Iran.

ACADEMIA’S HOLLOW MEN AND WOMEN. “I think that in America today, we have a considerable number of people who get, maybe not all of the entire content of their lives, but much of the content of their lives delivered gratis, so to speak, by the public sphere, all the raw material for their deeper emotions. And I suspect that this phenomenon is stronger among the students described by the professor in his essay than in the American population at large.”

Plus: “It’s important to note that much of the current anti-Semitism, especially the kind seen on college campuses, is different from the traditional kind. While Jews were once disliked because they were too different from the overall society, they are now denounced because they exemplify things that the ‘progressives’ despise about their own societies.”

LIKE HIS ENTIRE PRESIDENCY: “Simply put, the foreign policy side of Joe Biden’s administration has been an unmitigated disaster, in part because it’s not so much Biden making bad foreign policy decisions as what we’re seeing unfold to date is what Barack Obama’s third term would look like.”
