When I was working with the student encampments, I would say things that I thought required a lot of explanation, and the young people would get them instantly. ("American cops are Irish because being Irish in America is different from being Irish in Ireland, the same way that being Jewish in America is different from being Jewish in Israel.") ("Almost all of anti-Palestinian Zionism is cognitive dissonance.") They're so sharp because they aren't shedding a distorting narrative.
