When You Try to Kill the Negotiators, Negotiations End The Israeli strike on Hamas in Doha may have missed its target while also extinguishing any hope of a deal.

Per a former Mossad official: “The targets are evil. The world is a better place without them. The timing is political and stupid.” (FWIW, exactly what I said on @msnbc.com ‬⁩ and on this site moments after it occurred www.theatlantic.com/national-sec...

Piece of WTC that I still hav, and look at everyday. With the phrase “Like this rock, we will endure.” From walking thru the wreckage just days later, years spent in South Asia and the Middle East, burying friends who made the ultimate sacrifice. A day that changed everything.

Israeli officials said to doubt success of strike on Hamas leaders in Doha Top defense officials cited as having opposed strike's timing; Israel, US reportedly promised Doha that Hamas wouldn't be hit in Qatar; Trump 'not thrilled about whole situation'

In sum: Just? yes. Inevitable, at some point? yes. Brilliant fusion intel and strike capability? yes. But for the hostage families?....maybe not a good day. Aside from the cheerleading from elements in the US, I imagine many Israelis will be conflicted on this.....because the hostages.

Hostage families on Israel’s Qatar strike: ‘Time is running out’ to bring them home Israel carried out a strike against Hamas’ senior leadership today in Doha, the city that has been the epicenter for peace talks to end the war in Gaza. Sources say the U.S. was notified in advance. N...

Stop Blaming Elbridge Colby The Policies of Protecting Putin And Harming Ukraine Are Trump's

Just sent out this post. Three times in the last two months, people have tried to blame the outrageously pro-Putin steps taken by the Trump Administration on a third level bureaucrat in the Pentagon. This has to stop. open.substack.com/pub/phillips...

It Doesn’t Seem Wise to Let Trump Decide What War Is www.nytimes.com/2025/09/07/o...

Pentagon plan prioritizes homeland over China threat This marks a major departure from the first Trump administration, which emphasized deterring Beijing.

Seems rather significant if u r a China hawk, no? www.politico.com/news/2025/09...
