As I wrote in 2022, expecting Trump to gatekeep antisemites on the right like Fuentes and Carlson mistakes a cause for the cure: www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/...

When pressed on her wildest past pronouncements, Marjorie Taylor Greene has claimed she didn't know much before she entered politics. This is not a very convincing defense. It also does not explain everything she has said and done SINCE she entered politics. www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

It's time to play that classic game, "Who said it: antisemitic Elmo or Candace Owens?"

This is refreshing in its unvarnished clarity. No more "Zionists," no more "Frankists," no more euphemisms. Just Jews.

Worth revisiting what I wrote in 2022 after Trump dined with Nick Fuentes. As I said then, all of this was foreseeable:

Most Israelis oppose settlements in Gaza and want the war to end. Here's how the Israeli hard right might use the current Gaza agreement as cover to attempt to settle the area anyway:

I wrote this in 2022: "In today’s Israel, men like Smotrich no longer feel the need to feign shame. They have moved from hypocrisy to outright advocacy." Piece has sadly held up well. www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/...

Shouldn't be overlooked: Trump's victory visit to Israel doubles as a straitjacket that binds Netanyahu's government to the agreement. You can't give Trump a standing ovation in the Knesset for his fabulous peace plan, then go back to bombing right after without embarrassing him. That matters.

My latest on what is really happening with the Gaza negotiations and what it will take for them to succeed (gift link): www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Looks like Trump is accepting Hamas's offer to negotiate the details of his proposal and wants to get the hostages out while that happens. It's past midnight in Israel on Shabbat, hope Bibi's up!
