I named my fists Vladimir and Estragon because they are ultimately kind of useless, yet still ready and waiting.

I feel if you’re able to orchestrate an elaborate scheme involving spiriting a 15-man death squad into a country to kill then chop up one of your critics, you can probably cope with a little light embarrassment when asked about said murder

i think that if the FCC threatened to revoke ABC’s license unless it replaced Jimmy Kimmel with Kevin Hart to diversify the network, Ilya Shapiro would be able to identify the issue here

If it was just targeting journalists with missiles, dayenu.
If it was just snipers shooting people searching for food, dayenu.
If it was just endless racist incitement and calls to “wipe them out” coming from elected MKs and ministers, dayenu.
Any one of these should have been more than enough.

So you don’t think it’s a “genocide”?
Fine.
If it was “just” ethnic cleansing, it should have been enough (dayenu).
If it was just starvation as a weapon of war, dayenu.
If it was just torture at black site prisons, dayenu.
If it was just pogroms in the West Bank, dayenu.
Enough is enough.
