Kanye West, or Ye, chickened out the moment he was challenged to defend his views on Jews -- in the mildest way -- by Tim Pool on his podcast. West walked out and took his entourage, including antisemitic troll Nick Fuentes, with him.
It was a triumphant moment: first, because West could not defend his views; second, because he showed true cowardice in leaving the set; third, because the snarky Fuentes demeaned himself by scurrying after his new benefactor.
Such is the fate of all bullies: punch back, or even stand up for yourselves, and they flee in terror. I could not imagine a better or mere deserving fate for Ye and crew. No one canceled them; given a platform, they canceled themselves.
It was a victory for America -- not just because hate lost, but because free speech won. Pool showed that debate is the best way to expose and undermine haters -- not cancel culture, which reinforces their victimhood and notoriety.
Obviously, one has to be careful when setting up such a debate; haters will not always be as easy to defeat. But today's haters are not used to being challenged; they create their own bubbles on social media. They cannot withstand scrutiny.

This week's portion is the last of the month of Av -- also known as Menachem (Comforter) Av -- which begins in mourning and ends in celebration and anticipation of the New Year and the process of repentance and renewal.
In a similar vein, the portion features Moses offering the Israelites a choice between a blessing and a curse. They are masters of their own fates: if they obey God's commandments, they receive the blessings -- and vice versa.
The key commandment is to reject idol worship. There is said to be something magnetic about the practice of worshiping idols in the new land, such that it would be constant moral battle, both individually and collectively, in the land.
Nowadays, according to Jewish tradition, humanity has lost the urge for idol worship (and the antidote, which is divine prophecy) -- but there are several near substitutes, such as lust or excessive appetites for worldly pleasures.
We are wired for compulsive behaviors, bad habits, and even addictions. These ...
