      thanks for the adjacent lecture but it’s not complex at all

      People have spoken out against the Israeli regime many times before without being asked to resign

      The whole issue is timing of the comment

          Anytime before the attack, though if it was just before they would still have to retract

          In a month or two it’ll be fine again
