The world is full of rotten news, and people disappoint you: including celebrities. I was so pleased by an op-ed by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar: here. โ€œWhere Is the Outrage Over Anti-Semitism in Sports and Hollywood?โ€ Yes. Abdul-Jabbar names names: names of anti-Semites โ€” athletes, pop stars โ€” and their allies. He calls out absurd, age-old conspiracy theories about the Rothschilds, etc.

And he quotes Martin Luther King: โ€œInjustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality.โ€
