Kudos to Dara Horn for this blunt, acidic, and brilliantly written "truth to power" piece and a heartfelt thank you to Bari Weiss for providing this platform for publishing a wide variety of heterodox iconoclasts. If you haven't yet read Michael Doran's very recent contribution to this prestigious platform (https://bariweiss.substack.com/p/the-doctrine-of-american-unexceptionalism) on the continuing striving of the Bidenites to resurrect the JCPOA, I suggest you do so.
Two additional points worth noting:
a) Toward the end of the piece, Horn cites a brave, dissenting response to the Crimson cranks by Natalie Kahn, another editor at the paper (https://www.thecrimson.com/article/2022/5/4/kahn-staff-ed-dissent-bds/). If you look carefully at the piece, you'll see at the top of the web page, in tiny tiny letters the telltale label "Advertisement". Such a label to what is otherwise a legitimate opinion piece, suggests that Kahn or someone on her behalf, had to pay for the privilege of getting the response piece published. In other words, the Crimson did not have the decency, let alone the intellectual honesty, to publish on their own a dissenting view from one of their own senior staffers.
b) A Tweet by one Orlee Grace Shandl Marini-Rappoport, the Editorial Chair (I didn't know that furniture can write) at the Crimson proudly proclaimed that she is Jewish and cheered the Crimson's adoption of a pro-BDS stance (https://twitter.com/m_orlee/status/1520483390100676608). This is an excellent example of the "Cool Kids" explicated by Horn in the article (https://www.tabletmag.com/sections/arts-letters/articles/the-cool-kids) cited by Bari Weiss in her intro to the present Horn piece.
I should note that "Orlee Grace Shandl Marini-Rappoport" has a distinctly Israeli ring to it, presumably from her parents. A worthy successor to the Helenized Jewish youth of 2200 years ago cited by Horn in her Cool Kids piece.
