"walk!" to stop crowds from running in fear. The most useful and experienced people try to spread calm. It doesn't get the clicks, but it doesn't immobilize people's thinking either.”

“I’m not asking you to conclude anything.

I’m asking you to acknowledge something very simple:

Someone knew before Bondi.

That someone appears to be in Israel.

Everything else is an open question”
