If Yahoo closed FFL, the lost would be significant, but if Rick bans
antisemitism, the lost to "the world's ability to have free speech"

Now if the various communities around the world got as aggressively
defensive, hoo boy, who could then say anything about anything? Think
of all the downtrodden folks who could equally claim the world has

And, hey, for what Israel is doing to Palestine while Jews around the
world remain mostly silent, I say they've lost their right to bitch
about Hitler. They should go back to dissing the Pharaoh.
