So I lied. Cross-posted from Mondoweiss. I appreciated David Samel’s thoughtful essay on the Hamas-claimed killings of the four paramilitary settlers in Hebron—paramilitary settlers, and not simply “settlers.” I appreciated it both because it was thoughtful and because it was lucid (although I appreciated more Seham’s list of unreported attacks against Palestinian lives and livelihoods in the […] Children and young men in their hundreds congregate at sand dunes and rubble sites, looking for pebbles with which to make concrete with which to construct homes, reports Eva Bartlett: The steel, gravel, sand and metals Gaza’s poorest now scavenge for a pittance of shekels used to come from Israel, at a cheaper rate than what […] I have just seen this J Street action notice claiming that the US should use its Security Council veto against any attempt to bring Israeli officers before the International Criminal Court. Here’s Jeremy Ben-Ami: As the Goldstone Report returns to the agenda of the United Nations, J Street remains opposed to one-sided and biased action at the […] An internal IDF investigation has found (or hasn’t found–hasbara makes figuring things out difficult sometimes) that some Israeli officers authorized the attack on the United Nations school during the Cast Lead massacre.

Some puzzled leftists are worried that he hasn’t yet slaughtered enough Brown people to merit the Norwegian laurel. After all, by the time Dr. Henry Kissinger received the award in 1973, the death count in Vietnam—and let’s pretend for a moment that we actually kept track […] Those Catalans keep showing the rest of us up. First they become the core of an almost-successful experiment in libertarian socialism while 70 years later we’re still catching up, eyes wide-and-glistening at notions of horizontalidad and Changing the World Without Taking Power. Now,the Senator of the United Left, the heroic Joan Josep Nuet–the same Catalonian Senator […] They didn’t kill any fighters.
