...other showing a cabal of Orthodox Jews slitting the throat of an Arab boy, pouring his blood into a basin, and making Passover matzah that they boast tastes much better than the ordinary kind. Why does our media repeat and recreate these anti-Semitic images, even as we object to anything that touches Muslim honor? Why are we fed this scummy hatred of Jews instead of being encouraged to visit Israel and to study Hebrew?And then there’s Iran, not Arab but Muslim, hence not included in the above statistic (613,660 square miles, population over...

The story is simple and possibly symbolic (more on that later). Sara goes on a rescue mission after she spies a mysterious black object in a shadowy apartment hallway. Meanwhile, Tegan’s therapy session goes very strangely indeed, as her bored therapist dons a ski mask for one brief shot and eventually keels over on to the floor. As Sara joins Tegan from the fire escape and the two dash...
