The past week of violence in Israel, with a total death toll of 2,200 and climbing, has led to a constantly repeated talking point that this is its 9/11. Setting aside the myopia that requires something to be compared to an American equivalent, the characterization is unintentionally accurate: The aftermath of a tragic attack has become the impetus for blind bloodlust and a barrage of grotesque loyalty tests, a gross moral simplification that will be used as justification for subsequent atrocities 10 times as deadly.

Another good breakdown of the current situation in Palestine.

    If you can understand that Trump and his followers are bad for America, in fact are traitors against America, then you can understand that Netanyahu is bad for Israel and that his movement has betrayed Israel.
