Israeli officials obtained Hamas’s battle plan for the Oct. 7 terrorist attack more than a year before it happened. But they dismissed the plan as aspirational, considering it too difficult for Hamas to carry out. @ronenbergman Adam Goldman

A blueprint reviewed by The Times laid out the attack in detail. Israeli officials dismissed it as aspirational and ignored specific warnings.

"The war in Gaza will end eventually. But when it does, Israelis and Palestinians will have no political horizon to look to, no peace process to rekindle, and little hope for a better future. That, too, is a legacy of Netanyahu’s long years in power."

Good for @ForeignPolicy to suggest a balanced list for those who seek more genuine understanding of this tragic conflict than broadly available in western media. How else to begin to imagine just and durable solutions?

It's a wrenching story, beautifully told. Ordered the book.
Anyway. I hope this book gives people comfort in some way — or at least makes them feel less alone. Thanks to @zandoprojects and @TheAtlantic for making it all happen. 5/5 Again:

The show doesn't have to be about solving the crime. It can be about memory. Or justice. Or grief. Find the theme that ties it together. And be honest with your listeners.

Suggestion for podcasters investigating an old crime. Let me know in ep 1 whether you solved it. And if not, tell me why to listen anyway. A better narrative model.
