Western hypocrisy on Palestine trickles down to other issues, including women's rights where there seems to be two sets of rules-- one for the West, and one for the rest. My latest article addresses women and freedom of religion (no paywal).

Watching Palestinian journalists lose hope in their own survival in real time. How the heart shatters over and over again. Why can't we all be unfeeling.

This is horrible!
Three Palestinian young men, high school classmates from Ramallah who now attend elite American colleges were together on Thanksgiving break when someone shot them in downtown Burlington, Vermont. Horrific.
Police say three shot in Burlington
Police say they Received calls stating that a person was shot near North Prospect Avenue at around 6:25 p.m.

"The US and Israel are exploring options for the future of the Gaza Strip, including the possibility of a multinational force that may involve American troops if Israeli forces succeed in ousting Hamas" - kinda like the US Marines in Beirut c. 1983?

Multiple things can be true at once:
1. Oct 7th was the worst collective trauma Jews have experienced in our lifetimes
2. The war on Gaza is a horror
3. Antisemitism is rising
4. Islamophobia is rising
Those trying to use one of these to cancel others are making things worse

As the horrors in Gaza escalate, I have a special contempt for those spouting some version of "war is hell." What's happening in Gaza isn't war, it's vengeful murder. And one only need hear the genocidal rhetoric coming out of Tel Aviv right now to know it's going to get worse.
