The mistake too many inside and out of the administration make is thinking that Netanyahu is a just a difficult ally, even a very difficult one. He is not an ally. He is, in fact, an enemy of America's goals, interests, and values as well as a political foe of President Biden.

This is one of the most underreported and heinous stories of this war. theguardian.com/world/article/…

Quotes from my interview with Haaretz.com: Sfard says that the incompetence of the [Israeli] law enforcement system is not surprising. 'For decades, a policy has been set here of near total immunity for soldiers who harm Palestinians,

What if it's not so much doom scrolling as it is the desperate hope that one more scroll will bring good news, like we're all at a very sad slot machine in a very, very sad Vegas
