Some years ago, a friend of mine in Egypt (whom I shall not name in order to spare those of us who miss him) passed away in an accident. It was an accident, and there was no doubt there was no foul play involved. Those of us on the ground knew that well. #Thread #BeirutExplosion
It didn& #39;t stop a well known academic in Los Angeles - literally thousands of miles away - from insisting, in print, that there had been foul play. Because it served his ideological bent against those he was accusing. He was told this was out of order. He didn& #39;t care.
