PALANTIR

Sorry, but — yikes.  A quick primer on Palantir.

ISRAEL

To say the subject is fraught these days hardly begins to describe the eggshells upon which we walk — and should, because there are incredibly deep feelings and wounds on both sides that should be respected.

You already know I think “genocide” is the wrong word (It’s terrible, but it’s not genocide); but making that case requires great sensitivity (as I believe the author displayed).

With that said, two recent pieces for your consideration:

> The Warning Benjamin Netanyahu Ignored.

> At an insufferable anti-Israel dinner party, a masterclass in dealing with pro-Palestinian idiocy.

All of this, food for thought.
