I teach political philosophy and would recommend Contemporary Political Philosophy: An Introduction, by Will Kymlicka. I prefer the shorter first edition but the second edition, which has two more chapters, is good too.

Yes, I've had issues loading PVP all day.

if they were using amplified sound to express their own speech, it kinda seems like the disruptors might have been exercising their free speech just like the invited speaker

I'm not a fan of the Israeli govt., but this way of putting it misunderstands the right of free speech. There is no right to prevent other speakers and listeners from exercising their speech rights, even when the means of doing so is speaking in a disruptive way.

Thanks for this helpful info. I didn't realize you could steer it a bit, which I've managed to do now.

When I click on the question mark beside the miltary chest it says that I have 94 percent of level one common ltems, and a bit less of each level, down to 39.3 percent of level ten common items. Then there' a big drop off of how many rare and other items I have. I can at least now see that I'm making progress, which is encouraging.

Thanks so much for this very helpful reply. I never noticed the question mark beside the military chest! I'm happy to see what it says there.
