Do we currently have any reason to believe they aren’t in Lebanon? I guess it’s just starting but the pager/wallow talkie attacks were brilliantly executed with very low civilian casualties.
"You can't overrate Bernadette Peters. She is such a genius. There's a moment in "Too Many Mornings" and Bernadette doing 'I wore green the last time' - It's a voice that is just already given up - it is so sorrowful. Tragic. You can see from that moment the show is going to be headed into such dark territory and it hinges on this tiny throwaway moment of the voice." - Ben Brantley (2022)
"Bernadette's whole, stunning performance [as Rose in Gypsy] galvanized the actors capable of letting loose with her. Bernadette's Rose did take its rightful place, but too late, and unseen by too many who should have seen it" Arthur Laurents (2009)

The IDF slaughter of children continues. 20 murdered last night. Do we care?
Knesset votes to expel UN refugee agency.
When will this end, and what, if anything, will #47 do about it?

Jay in good faith why do you think they have a problem with this particular UN agency?

Long-standing resentment, but what probably tipped the scales was that H amas managed to infiltrate them to some degree. Still, it is all many civilians have for basic humanitarian support, and with no replacement lined up what Israel is doing is despicable. Even their allies such as US condemn it.

I've long been very sympathetic to Israel; it is, after all, a liberal democracy in a part of the world where most states are decidedly illiberal and undemocratic. I see no reason to believe that a new Palestinian state will be much better in these respects than its Muslim-majority neighbors. I suspect that LGBT Palestinians are better off under Israeli occupation than they would be under a Palestinian state. (I'd love to see a one-state solution under a pluralistic secular government, though I know that's a pipe dream.)
But current Israeli leadership horrifies me in its rhetoric and its actions. As implied above, I don't know what the solution may be, but Israel has no credibility if its official position is that Palestinians must remain non-citizens (of any state) indefinitely, and that seems to be the official position of the Netanyahu government. I suspect Israel is going to have a hard time maintaining any kind of international support unless it finds an answer to the question of the status of Palestinians as full citizens of somewhere.
