Following shocking anti-Semitic events at York University, Toronto, and the administration's lack of any credible action, Shalom Lappin sends his apologies for not being willing to accept an invitation to lecture there.
Good on him.
"Syme: It's a beautiful thing, the destruction of words. You wouldn't have seen the [Newspeak] Dictionary 10th edition, would you Smith? It's that thick. [illustrates thickness with fingers] The 11th Edition will be that [narrows fingers] thick. Winston Smith: So, The Revolution will be complete when the language is perfect? Syme: The secret is to move from translation, to direct thought, to automatic response. No need for self-discipline. Language coming from here [the larynx], not from here

Something weird with my posting.
Sorry for that.
He is a surely a brave soul. I'm going to be meeting him at a Israel Advocacy Training Seminar in Toronto this weekend. I am looking forward to it!
