Fifty years after the Yom Kippur War

[Anomalocaris]

Even if he hadn’t gutted the judiciary, Netanyahu wasn’t going to jail.

After this war (more properly, after the current phase of this war), it’s a dead cert that there will be more left of Israel than of Gaza.

Has the GOP suggested giving part of Israel away to stop the conflict yet? Or does that only apply when they can carry Putin’s water?

all politics is local.


high minded universal ideals are of no use to anyone except where it can be used as cover for advancing the local political interests.

and local political interests are only very loosely and intermittently correlated to rational interest of the larger political entity such as the state because many local interests are at the expense of the collective interest of larger entity or which the locality is a part.
