  1. Dara Horn is the hero we want. I immediately pre-ordered this book.

    "If you thought People Love Dead #Jews#DaraHorn’s 2021 #essaycollection examining society’s reverence for remembering deceased Jews while failing to support the living ones — was an awkward #book to read in public, just wait until you get your hands on #Horn’s newest title: The Final Solution to the #Jewish Question.

    [T]he title of Horn’s new book serves as an eye-catching, subversive #dogwhistle that is meant to pique the interest of #antisemites — while also serving as a cheeky summary of Horn’s goal of actually trying to come up with a solution to the wave of antisemitism that has swept the world in recent years."
