Its pretty amazing to see a monograph I got through FOIA nearly two years ago become an important citation in a monumental case before the Supreme Court.

Then, *after* that claim, scholars emerged to post drafts on SSRN. And *now* the government points to a "growing body of modern scholarship" all drafted after the initial claim.

Layla Ben-Gurion's stomach would get a little queasy if someone went back in time & explained targeted drone strikes of children & creating the Lodz Ghetto with far more horrific imprisonment technology& no possibility to smuggle food in while dropping 2000 pound bombs.
