The easy thing for PG to have done here would be to "go with the flow". After all, there are far more Israeli founders & investors than there are Palestinians. Like so many others in a similar position, he could've tweeted #IStandWithIsrael and called it a day...

This UN vote shows how completely isolated we are from world opinion. Is it because only America is smart enough to understand the Israeli point of view? Or because America's most powerful lobby has dragged us onto the wrong side of history? The answer to that is obvious.

Muslim investor? You're going to love this. It turns any US ETF/Mutual Fund halal, by filtering out all the non-compliant stocks ✨ Suddenly, you go from fewer than 10 Shariah-compliant funds to 10,000+! Now live 🔥 amalinvest.com/fund-purifier (I'd really appreciate a RT! 🙌)

👏👏👏 Way to go, Paddy! It's not easy standing up for what's right, especially against the mob. Proud of you for taking a stand

How do you improve your ability to reason / think? The mind is such an important tool, but I don't think I'm doing enough to develop "it" (vs learning about a specific discipline)

... but when someone with his rationality, intellect and independent-mindedness - the very qualities so many of us follow him for - takes an *active* position in support of Gaza and AGAINST his own personal interests, you better believe he's done his research. Thank you, Paul

JUST SHIPPED: Divest from companies supporting Israel's genocide with just a click ✨ Companies like Raytheon used to hide inside ETFs and mutual funds.. not anymore! The @FundPurifier tears open the fund, filters out the scum and puts it all back together 💝

Within the first 24 hours of launching Alif, over 200 applications came in. Writing that announcement post, I hoped it would resonate with people. But I didn't expect the sheer amount of support we'd get from the jump. Thank you to everyone who shared across socials, dropped
