Swamped by war and tragedy, mundane life in Israel still goes on. I was in Tel Aviv last week and tried to capture a little bit of the mood. via @airmailweekly.

Keir Starmer has made some new friends. According to Hamas, grateful for his recognition of their strategy, his latest policy move is “one of the fruits of October 7.” (In this morning’s London Times.)

A visit to one distribution site shows how a system designed to squeeze out the U.N. and Hamas continues to draw hungry Palestinians into deadly encounters.

“A war that began because of the imperative to destroy Hamas’ military machine & get back the hostages has metastasized into an Israeli takeover of most of Gaza, overseen by a government dependent on the support of would-be permanent occupiers of Gaza. ”

That Bibi has to remove MK Yuli Edelstein from leadership says everything about where he stands. It is self-preservation and nothing else, not what’s best for the nation. Meanwhile, Hamas refuses ceasefire, hoping Palestinians will starve to help their PR spin. Pure evil.

“Is denying the Jewish people their rights to self-determination … antisemitism? Yes or no?” Berkeley professor Mark Brilliant gives the definitive answer.

Recognizing anti-Zionism as a manifestation of antisemitism is an important step for combating the discrimination that many Jewish students have experienced.

This is the man making Federal law enforcement and immigration policy throughout the country right now. Absolute madness.
Stephen Miller: "What would LA look like without illegal aliens? You would be able to see a doctor in the ER right away, no wait time, no problem. You kids would go to a public school that had more money than they know what to do with. Classrooms would be half the size."

Unlike most east coast journos who parachute in for a few days, Williamson gets LA. “It isn’t much like the rest of the country,” he writes, “but you can’t understand the rest of the country if you don’t understand what’s happening there.”.

Here’s conservative reporter Kevin D. Williamson on the ground in California, ripping apart Trump’s disgraceful “Falangist” assault on Los Angeles, a nihilist policy that has nothing to do with solving immigration problems.

This is an amazing documentary and well worth watching . Brian Wilson was one of the great geniuses of the 60s, a tortured genius sadly.
There’s a few good Documentaries out there on this musical genius, and I say watch them all & learn all you can about this incredible Artist. But this one’s my favourite so go watch it and celebrate his life. BRIAN WILSON: LONG PROMISED ROAD (2021). RIP Brian Wilson 1942-2025

Editor of Times of Israel: Leadership can’t get its act together, while Israelis and Palestinians die. Government and IDF announce conflicting and contradictory war aims. They have all given up on any kind of effective public diplomacy. Who’s in charge?.

Trying to pierce the fog of war has been spectacularly difficult ever since Hamas triggered almost 20 months of conflict. Israeli defeatism on the second battlefield isn't helping

As Marc Schulman (.@Multied.) explains in today's newsletter, this weekend's report of the massacre at an aid station reveals 1) major media outlets haven't learned a thing about trusting Hamas sources, and 2) the IDF spokesman dept is still hopelessly incompetent and ineffective.

Some pro-Israel writers argue that we shouldn't debate with or even platform the work of Jewish anti-ZIonist intellectuals like Peter Beinart, Judith Butler or Naomi Klein, but Adam Kirsch disagrees. In the new @JewishQuarterly he charges into battle with guns blazing.
OUT NOW: JQ260 The Z Word - Reclaiming Zionism. The challenge for Jews today, Kirsch writes, is not merely to counter attempts to distort and corrupt the meaning and origins of Zionism. The Jewish people, he argues, do not need to defend the term – they need to reclaim it. THE Z

One senses he's become fed up with Israel over the years. His sympathies lie with the Palestinians. The most appealing Jewish character flees the country to live abroad. But when it comes to the situation in Hebron, Wright knows his stuff, I can vouch for that. /end.

Wright is an expert on Islamist terror movements, so he has zero sympathy for the characters affiliated with Hamas, but he’s also bitterly disdainful of Israel’s right wing politicians and their policies toward Palestinians. /4.
