War is PR with violence. There were no beheaded babies. If you’ve ever used that story as a reason to justify your position, then you’ve gotta ask serious questions about your media literacy. In war, you’ve gotta do the mahi. If your main source is Twitter, then you’ve really gotta do the mahi. If you…
Bibi is an objectively evil person who is now backed into a corner… Aaron David Miller, a former longtime Middle East negotiator, describes Netanyahu as increasingly desperate. This is, after all, a man who long cast himself as Israel’s best hope for security in a tough region — a brand badly damaged following the Oct.…
Norman Finkelstein counts noses as to which states acting as judges are likely to vote. His discussion is short but the bottom line is for South Africa to prevail on this action, it needs 8 of 15 votes. So an abstention amounts to a vote for Israel.

One of Gagné’s final points is that “We have to stop mocking” the NAR and other dominionists, “because these people are very serious…. We have to stop downplaying it and put a light on it and say, ‘They believe this.’ We’re not the measure of the entire world. People have different ways of conceptualizing the…
