Emotional Analysis
The tweets express a range of emotions, from admiration for the work of academics such as @yudapearl and @analisereal Forney, to outrage at the death of Palestinian children, to disbelief at the lack of condemnation of Israel by the international community. There is also frustration expressed at the loyalty tests and accusations of racism against Jews, as well as indignation at the appointment of a convicted terrorism-supporter as a minister in the Israeli government. Finally, there is excitement and anticipation at the prospect of using visual tools and causal inference to explore the validity of counterfactual generation engines.

| 1624800093911060485 | @yudapearl @Raamana_ As discussed extensively by @stephensenn RCTs neither care about estimating ATE nor are they capable of estimating it.

| 1624878960990384128 | @f2harrell @yudapearl @Raamana_ Thanks, Frank. Since I seem to find myself accused of being some sort of an RCT fetishist, I thought I would see if I could find something that put my point of view. https://t.co/ISVwjfJIUU | 37 |
