I first met Ezra Klein when he was a 19 year old UCSC student. I’ve seen him high in an Adams Morgan rowhouse backyard. I’ve watched him defend Megan McArdle’s honor. I remember JournoList. That op-ed is the most embarrassing thing I have ever seen Ezra Klein say in his entire adult life

Ezra Klein well to the right of The Dispatch, torching him in response

Ezra Klein, watch this.

IDF sniper from Chicago who says he killed Gazan teenager just for trying to retrieve his brother's corpse: “They’re thinking, ‘Oh I don’t think [I’ll get shot] because I’m wearing civilian clothes and I am not carrying a weapon' and all that, but they were wrong. That’s what you have snipers for.”

Couldn't make up a meaner parody of the discourse than the moderators asking all the candidates a breezy lightning-round question about where they'd go abroad as mayor and then seizing the opportunity to hammer Mamdani with follow-ups to try to force him to endorse Israel as a Jewish ethnostate

Crazy moment in the NYC mayoral debate. They're doing a lightning round about the first country they'd visit as mayor. Cuomo talks up Israel, then the moderators forced Mamdani to give a yes/no answer whether he supports a Jewish state of Israel. (He said he supports a state w equal rights.)

Something has gone very wrong with Holocaust memory when the Israeli-born grandchild of Holocaust survivors is disinvited from the anniversary of the liberation of Buchenwald, because the moral lessons he takes from the Shoah are not those of the nation-state that claims a monopoly on Shoah memory.
