This is so on point. The worst chapter in every such book. (I've had several authors tell me that publishers basically force them to write this chapter.)

Great discussion with my old mate Andrew Keen, who I have known now since our Berkeley days 30 years ago. youtu.be/CKSgN-bcx2Q?...

Coming to a bookstore near you (at least if you are in the UK).

Some Publicity

Proofs are in for Glyn Morgan's prescient *Rise and Fall of American Europe*. Books due in late spring. Glyn analyses exactly the political choices that European leaders are now confronting with Trump's aggression over Greenland.

Book (forthcoming from Polity) —about why and how the US under FDR and Truman sought to create a Europe in its own image, why European integration was primarily an American project, and why under Trump/Vance Europe is viewed as “hellbent on suicide” and “pathetic.”

“Our best friend and closest ally” is still at it, I see.

I am afraid neither Netenyahu's political career nor the Abraham Accords and sadly the bipartisan consensus here on Israel will survive this war. Iran's proxy Hamas laid a trap for Israel and the Abraham Accords signatories. Netanyahu walked straight into it.

I'm so glad to hear Biden is getting annoyed with the indiscriminate bombing. This will be very comforting to the families of the 18,000+ who have already been killed.

Joe Biden says he'll get quite cross if Israel doesn't do a bit less of this in the nearish future

In which a state that vaunts itself as a liberal democracy complains that is being held to a "higher standard" than a bunch of Islamist militants. Both-sidesism trigger warning, btw

I taught Baconi's book on Hamas in 2019. I've been looking for more of his analysis.

Apropos of… something… two worthwhile pieces w/r/t the U.S. left and Israel-Palestine. The first, from Harold Meyerson, in October 2023. prospect.org/world/10-30-...

sharing a gift link just because it is worth reading this to see how staggering of a failure this was. basically a “what is he going to do, stab me?” situation www.nytimes.com/2023/11/30/w...

“When a 3-year-old girl is killed in a home in Gaza, it’s because someone in the army decided it wasn’t a big deal for her to be killed — that it was a price worth paying in order to hit [another] target...These are not random rockets. Everything is intentional" www.972mag.com/mass-assassi...

Israel’s war on Gaza has been unending horrors and devastation, but it’s hard to get past the largely uncovered forced abandonment and death of five premature babies at Al-Nasr Hospital. HRW spared you the soul-searing pictures which were all over social media. www.hrw.org/news/2023/12...

Mostly the same info as the 972 piece, but worth reading anyway.
