Arthur Goldhammer’s “Shooting War”
Arthur Goldhammer’s brilliant novel Shooting War doesn’t have a subtitle, but if it did my recommendation would be “Coming of Age in the American Empire.”

I am afraid neither Netenyahu's political career nor the Abraham Accords and sadly the bipartisan consensus here on Israel will survive this war. Iran's proxy Hamas laid a trap for Israel and the Abraham Accords signatories. Netanyahu walked straight into it.

I'm so glad to hear Biden is getting annoyed with the indiscriminate bombing. This will be very comforting to the families of the 18,000+ who have already been killed.

In which a state that vaunts itself as a liberal democracy complains that is being held to a "higher standard" than a bunch of Islamist militants. Both-sidesism trigger warning, btw
Under Rules of War, ‘Proportionality’ in Gaza Is Not About Evening the Score
The concept, important for determining the legality of an act of war, is about weighing civilian harm against military objectives, not about achieving a balanced number of casualties.

Israel Knew Hamas’s Attack Plan More Than a Year Ago
A blueprint reviewed by The Times laid out the attack in detail. Israeli officials dismissed it as aspirational and ignored specific warnings.
