Here is a set of single-statement sentences, all of which are true. Bari Weiss should not have spiked the 60 minutes segment. That was very bad. It looks like she did it because her boss didn't want to upset Trump. That is extremely bad. Her tenure so far at CBS has been damaging to journalism and press freedom. That is unforgivable. She deserves reproach and public criticism. She has received a deluge of it. Bari Weiss is Jewish. Bari Weiss is a woman. Bari Weiss is pro-Israel. There is nothing wrong with any of those things. She is passionately, obsessively hated for all of them. When she was at Columbia, she campaigned against an antisemitic professor called Joseph Massad. There is nothing wrong with that. She is hated for that, too. Later she called out the coercive, bullying culture in the New York Times newsroom. She is hated for that, too. Bari Weiss was passionately hated before she became editor-in-chief of CBS. Antisemitism and antizionism are the main reasons for that. Sexism is part of it, too. Antisemitism, antizionism and sexism aren't the only reasons she has been so loudly criticised for her actions at CBS. They may not be the main reasons for it. But they do explain a crertain unique vociferousness that has characterised it. <p>Many things can be true at the same time.

But they do explain a crertain unique vociferousness that has characterised it. Very good question. I imagine an answer would take quite a bit of study - followed by trial and error - to develop. But if I were tasked with developing one, I might start by looking at France&#39;s approach for the last few generations. It&#39;s been far from a great success, but it&#39;s been one of the few conscious attempts I know of in Europe to create something like a national culture that everyone is expected to adhere to. What has worked there? What hasn&#39;t? Why, and why not? In the meantime, until better policy solutions can be created, I don&#39;t think it is necessarily racist to try to restrict immigration from geographies that have very different cultures (or, rather, cultures that are different in ways that are incompatible) from that of the arrival country, and favour it from those that have more similar (or, rather, compatible) cultures. This might wind up being racist *de facto*, if that is how you define racism, but as long as it&#39;s being driven by culture and not by race, I think that may have to be acceptable.
