How Israel lost control – and became an international pariah – over aid to Gaza | Opinion ***

Former Israeli deputy national security advisor Chuck Freilich: "Israel's situation with #Gaza is self-inflicted, it will take decades to repair." www.haaretz.com/opinion/2025...

Why Progressives Increasingly Support Violence A new survey finds more than half of left-wing respondents believe assassinating Donald Trump could be justified.

It’s worth noting that a recent NCRI report found that “nearly one-third of Americans surveyed […] believe that the murder of certain public figures is at least somewhat justified.”

An enormously concerning development for American democracy. www.city-journal.org/article/prog...

A Left That Refuses to Condemn Mass Murder Is Doomed To advocate effectively on behalf of Palestinians, progressives must not forfeit their moral authority.

I reiterate the words of @ericlevitz.bsky.social in @intelligencer.com: “a left that refuses to condemn mass murder will ensure (and deserve) its own political irrelevance.” nymag.com/intelligence...

She Was Murdered in Midtown Manhattan. The Internet Celebrated It. Wesley LePatner was a mother, a wife, and a beloved boss. But to a growing number of people, she was a symbol of everything they hate.

“It was far too easy for me to find people to willingly talk about their celebration of the killing of an innocent American.”

An awful reflection on the erosion of our shared humanity. @thefp.com www.thefp.com/p/she-was-mu...

The quiet war: What’s fueling Israel’s surge of settler violence – and the lack of state response Violence in the West Bank has intensified since the Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas attack on Israel and the ensuing war in Gaza.

Really great work by my friend @aperliger.bsky.social on settler violence in the West Bank — "fueled by a confluence of ideological fervor, opportunism and far-right Israelis’ political vision for the region." @us.theconversation.com theconversation.com/the-quiet-wa...

The Rapid Rise of Killings by Police in Rural America A 17-year-old shot and killed by a sheriff’s deputy on a New Mexico highway last summer was one in a growing number of cases.

“Last year, 1,260 people were killed by law enforcement—the highest level since data-crunching organizations began keeping track a decade ago.” @wsj.com www.wsj.com/us-news/poli...

“Our history is littered with incidents of violence and from the violence came something good. And what I think we’ve done a horrible job of in our society is we’ve really taken the whole domain of violence and we've made it so taboo.” - Joe Kent, new Director of NCTC

Also in 2023, Perspectives on Terrorism published "Is Far-Right Violence Actually Increasing in Australia?" Shandon finds that "no clear increase has actually occurred." 🇦🇺

In 2023, Shandon wrote in the @socterres.bsky.social journal Behavioral Sciences of Terrorism and Political Aggression that "serious far-right violence may actually be more prevalent in New Zealand than other broadly comparable countries." 🇳🇿 @crexuio.bsky.social www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Opinion | In Gaza, a war with no endgame leads to a humanitarian collapse Civilian deaths at aid distribution sites show how far the situation has spiraled out of control.

"Since the establishment of the new food distribution sites on May 27, the hospital had treated more than 3,400 'weapon-wounded patients' and registered more than 250 deaths. Those numbers have since risen."

Horrifying. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

The Revenge of the Me-Too Martyrs In his cabinet picks, Trump is revealing not just an apathy towards sexual assault and harassment, but seemingly a celebration of it.

Maybe a good time to remind everyone that basically Trump's entire administration is built on Me Too martyrdom, revealing not just apathy towards sexual assault and harassment, but celebration of it. Does the latest @wsj.com story change anything? www.cfr.org/blog/revenge...

Gun violence has become a staple of daily life in America. United States had over 600 mass shootings between 2020 and 2023, almost two every day. The death toll is carried disproportionately by young people: gun violence is now the leading cause of death for American youth from the ages of 1 to 17.
