even worse, can you imagine if the u.s. then funded bin laden because as was reported right after october 7th, for years, various governments led by israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu divided power between the gaza strip and the west bank, bringing the palestinian president to his knees for making moves that propped up the hamas terror group, funding them and giving them legitimacy as a counterbalance, a strategic choice by netanyahu, a counterbalance of house authority in the west bank. the idea was to keep palestinians from having a single unified government, one that might try to form estate and challenge israeli authority. his entire political career is based on the idea he alone can protect this nation. all of this stuff talk guarantees about keeping

harvard is once again at the center of the debate with a civil rights group challenging legacy admissions, saying it discriminates against students of color and gives an unfair boost to the mostly white children of alumni. joining me, carol lamb and anthony coli. carol, to you. supporters of the policy say it builds an alumni community, encouraging donations. opponents say it's no longer defensible without affirmative action providing a counterbalance. what's at the heart of the legal argument? >> it's important to first realize that this is a complaint filed with the department of education. this is not a lawsuit in federal court, not yet anyway, as the firmive action case was. it raises a different issue. there are differences between the two. in the affirmative action case, the allegation was that harvard was engaging in actually discriminatory conduct. that's in the admissions decision, they were actually considering race as a factor and

wanted to know how to make their application materials seem less chinese or korean. the rich, white kids wanted to be less white and less rich. the black kids wanted to come across as black enough. ditto for the latino and middle eastern kids. affirmative action is necessary to address the historical evils of slavery and its myriad afterlives. above all, that it is crucial counterbalance against a prevailing system of de facto white affirmative action that rewards many academically mediocre and wealthier students by having legacy parents or being good at rowing a boat. yet, i also believe that affirmative action, though necessary, has inadvertently helped create a race-obsessed american university culture. this is one of these issues, gene, that requires us to use dialectical thinking. there are -- it's an imperfect
