“With everything Palestinians from Gaza have gone through, there’s nothing Israeli officials could do or say to make it worse.”

For those in the West celebrating or feeling relieved by Assad’s departure read the quote:

“HTS was founded by Abu Mohammad al-Jolani, a military commander who gained experience as a young fighter for al Qaeda against the United States in Iraq.”

That should give you pause.

In rereading Richard Hofstadter, I feel it gives me perspective, but also a sense of dread.

Not his fault, this is one of the last paragraphs in his chapter on Abraham Lincoln. It is particularly eerie.

Maybe it’s what’s coming…
