this is not me taking a stance on that particular q, I just find it fascinating how conflating settlements with the rest of israel — just like conflating israel with the rest of world jewry — encourages some conclusions that are, shall we say, counterproductive to the cause

both rabid israeli nationalists and hardline anti-zionists seem to agree that the west bank settlement project is inextricable from the country "simply...existing." horseshoe theory is real!!
“It’s important to understand what will come next. If Israel and Israel’s supporters are violating international law simply by existing, then all Jewish spaces that don’t disavow Israel will be legitimate targets.”

the amazon limited series MALICE is a bizarrely half-assed take on the tom ripley archetype, starring david duchovny as the target of an evil manny's revenge scheme:

David Duchovny stars in the Amazon Prime Video limited series 'Malice,' a lackluster riff on 'Ripley' and 'The White Lotus.'

on paper, THE BEAST IN ME is a hybrid of THE JINX and THE JOURNALIST AND THE MURDERER with claire danes and matthew rhys in the titular roles. unfortunately the actual show isn't as good as that logline:

Netflix limited series 'The Beast in Me' stars Claire Danes and Matthew Rhys in a thriller obviously inspired by 'The Jinx'.
