I’m pleased and proud to say that as of today, I’ll be posting regular book recommendations at Americans for Peace Now. I’ll be away from my desk for most of the day though (until just before Shabbat, and this blog and I don’t roll on Shabbos) and won’t have a chance to post anything particularly [...]

Israel: Buffeted by fate? Or a character in its own play? (Re-up)

A house. (Re-up)
In the hustle and bustle of life as it is lived (I just realized), I forgot to mark an important anniversary, more than three weeks ago. And so I re-post this, in love and in memory. There’s this house. It’s at the bottom of a hill, to the left and in a small valley, as [...]

“The State of Israel…will dedicate itself to the principles of the Charter of the United Nations.”*
I’m honestly at a loss to understand just what Israel is trying to achieve these days. I think the coalition believes itself to be working for a safer Israel, but it’s so painfully obvious that what they’re actually doing is hounding people, literally across the globe, for disagreeing with them, while also turning the clock [...]

On the humanity of the grieving.
This morning a bomb went off in Jerusalem at a busy bus stop, killing at least one person and injuring 30. I haven’t lived in Israel for a long time, since the summer of 1998. I go back a lot, and nearly every time we’re there, something awful happens, but all of my living-breathing knowledge [...]

Two brief notes: Jerusalem and Libya.
I imagine I will be writing about the bombing in Jerusalem today, but not yet. I have to get through some work, and possibly more to the point, some more processing of the events. These days, a lot of my mental processing happens on Twitter – here’s my feed, if you want to see where [...]

Open thread – let’s play nice!
It would appear that the recent shit-storm at Ta-Nehisi’s place has led to a closing of threads, and possibly no Open Thread for the day. If that proves to be the case, we can chat here! However, the rules are as they have always been: Mine (which can be read here, but boil down to: [...]

Whither humanity? I have no idea.
I find myself struck by the enormity of the times we’re living in. I don’t know what will happen next, but when my grandchildren learn about the early twenty-teens, it’s clear they’ll be taught that this was a time in which humanity — turned. Of course, there’s the ongoing upheaval in Middle East and North [...]
