I’m biased but I think the anti-genocide wing of the historical profession has a better starting lineup. Unlike the other side, we have both Jewish and Palestinian speakers. Also unlike the other side, we have actual experts on the Middle East and on genocide.

I have many complaints about Beverly Gage’s book length treatment of J. Edgar Hoover. But her recent New Yorker piece is misleading *even in terms of the evidence in Gage’s own book*

May finally join the migration over here. In the meantime, I'll try to at least post links to my blog. Here's the third and final part of a piece on Gaza and US labor that was commissioned and then spiked earlier this year: ourtime.substack.com/p/us-labor-a...

So far I've really appreciated the tone of the latest Brenner debate, but I have to confess I find this literally incomprehensible and - frankly - embarrassing for the blog that published it. Can anyone tell me what this means? newleftreview.org/sidecar/post...

Reagan: "those young men [Nazi soldiers] are victims of Nazism also, even though they were fighting in the German uniform, drafted into service to carry out the hateful wishes of the Nazis. They were victims, just as surely as the victims in the concentration camps.''

Helmut Kohl to Ronald Reagan, 1985: "members of the Waffen SS" buried at Bitburg were just "doing their duty" and "had no choice." Even more stunning, Kohl says that the SS men "died like millions of others in a senseless war." You can read the full cable here. www.reaganlibrary.gov/public/2023-...

The hits keep coming. Jennifer Burns' Friedman book has the caption "The Volcker shock precipitated a steep recession, but it was short" below a graph that does not show the timing of recessions at all. I guess she think a "recession" is the moment when unemployment peaks?
