I know this isn’t meant to be funny, but I’m literally cackling. “My decades long thesis on just war demonstrates israel has been fighting one, therefore I am revising my decades long thesis because it cannot possibly be that israel is doing something right”
Michael Walzer published “Just and Unjust Wars,” an attempt to delineate the rights and wrongs of warfare in both its causes and its conduct, in 1977. In the nearly 50 years since, no other book on the subject has matched its influence. The precepts are not complicated: it is just to defend your country from an invasion and it is unjust to invade a country that has not attacked you—although Walzer does allow for exceptions, mostly for humanitarian causes. It is just to assume certain risks to avoid civilian casualties and it is unjust to bomb towns indiscriminately to compel an enemy to surrender. The justice of going to war—what philosophers call jus ad bellum—is separate from jus in bello, the justice of how a war is fought.
The war in Gaza has made Walzer rethink one of the book’s fundamental principles. “The wall between jus ad bellum and jus in bello, which had sustained his theory for almost half a century, was no longer sturdy,” Jordi Graupera writes. As Walzer said to him, “There is a sense in which the carnage of Gaza, the ongoing carnage, simply made the war unjust.” Read about why a philosopher of war is now reconsidering his seminal work: newyorkermag.visitlink.me/T7…

We have had respectful relationship & hopefully will continue but call to US Embassy was AFTER your vehicle was stopped. We had no advance notice of your trip. I go often into Judea/Samaria & visit Palestinians. I publicly condemn ALL violence whether Israeli to Palestinian or Palestinian to Israeli. You would have been well served to have spent time with Israelis who were held hostage or victims of terror to understand big picture but you only chose to come in secretly with an anti-Israel activist to hear one version of reality. Please come back. Let me know when. I will go with you & we will meet with ppl in the PA & in Israel with Jewish, Christian, & Muslims We will visit Hadassah Medical Center which will destroy any notion of “apartheid “ & will arrange a classified briefing to dispel any doubt about the ridiculous claim that Israel engaged in “genocide.” Let’s elevate the discussion. I’ll leave the light on for you!
Ambassador, we have always had a relationship of mutual respect despite political differences.
The IDF has now clarified it was not a restricted zone and Israeli papers have confirmed this. Deputy Chief of Mission David Brownstein in our embassy did a superb job in getting us out. We are safe because of him. Please thank him.
We obviously notified our Embassy and Israel's embassy about the trip given we were in constant touch with David.
I hope sir you will work on bringing the extreme settlers who blockaded Americans to justice.
Also, please visit Beit Sahour, a Christian majority town. They want to stage the Passion of Christ play but illegal settlers are blocking them from doing so even as they have American investors ready for the project.

Ro Khanna’s Dishonest Israel Stunt
By @havivrettiggur
Khanna and his group were not “detained,” as Khanna claimed. Detention means you can’t leave. As far as we can tell from available accounts and footage, nothing stopped them from turning around and leaving the way they came. The area was believed to require permission to enter, and Khanna’s group had not coordinated with the IDF, the Israeli police, or anyone else that anyone has been able to find who might have facilitated a U.S. congressman’s visit to the area.
Within about 20 minutes—this, according to the account by Khanna’s own team—an IDF patrol arrived and asked them to wait for the police. Police arrived roughly 30 minutes later—again, according to Khanna’s own team.
In other words, the congressman, after refusing to coordinate his visit, was delayed for about an hour before being allowed to enter the area in question. But if you listen to Khanna, it was “an unprecedented, illegal detention of Americans by a foreign country.”
Could there still be some damning evidence out there that will back up the substance of Khanna’s claims of violence, threats, and “detention”? Of course there could. But it’s been quite a few days now. No such footage has emerged. Given reports that the congressman’s entourage included a professional photographer and that the Israeli activist had a bodycam, it seems reasonable to assume that the lack of evidence strongly suggests it doesn’t exist.

1/There is an implied antisemitic trope buried in Ro Khanna's objection to this initiative. It is worth surfacing, because the same trope appears all over when anti-Zionists talk about any partnership with Israel or Israelis. 🧵

As the Times forced Lyndsey to jump through these hoops, they simultaneously published non-credible and non-verified accounts of rape by Israeli dogs in their pages.
I bucked all advice from my friends (and resisted my conservative bias) and decided to fully trust the Times journalists.
As they left my home they asked that I not talk to any other outlets and I insisted then and repeatedly over the following weeks that I would keep my word and only share this story with them.
But then the weeks dragged on. They kept coming back to us saying the editors needed more. I needed to go on the record (okay). We need more screenshots (okay). I met every bench mark they set, eager to provide more sources or evidence as needed.
After the story went up I began to ask them … wait, where are the stories from the other women? Where are their accusations of sexual assault? Why am I the focus? Why are there 11 paragraphs dedicated to detailing my work history (more than has been published about Graham’s by far)?
Why does it say “nobody could corroborate” when I offered them sources that COULD corroborate?
Why did they include an out of context quote from a friend joking “do not call Graham” after I called off my wedding? (Because she knew I would never).
Where were the screenshots they’d said they would use? Or the mention that I’d supported local democrats and that most of my family (and husband) are liberal?
The editors said it was too much, they explained.
The Times also failed to include any mention that I DID confide in multiple friends through the years that Graham had been abusive — long before he was running for office. Those friends confirm they told the Times so.
It dawned on me that this really was a set up all along. The journalists I trusted who convinced me to share a story I never wanted to tell methodically delayed and twisted this into a gift to the Platner campaign. Violating the trust of his victims. Shattering the trust I placed in them with the most vulnerable story of my life.
And at the end of my call with them I reluctantly accepted their insistence that this was still a powerful story and that I had done a brave thing. And I thanked them for all the hard work they had put into it.
Still fawning after all these years.

This New York Times "article" about Israel is such a journalistic atrocity that I actually feel stupid reading it out loud.
If everyone at the NYT who is responsible for this is not fired, then the publication will lose whatever shred of credibility it has left.

Following the antisemitic stabbing of two Jewish people on the streets of Golders Green this morning, words of condemnation are no longer sufficient. This must be a moment that demands meaningful action from every institution, every community, every leader, and every decent person in our country. This is a hatred that we must face down together.

Elkana Bohbot, who was held by Hamas for more than two years, is finally home. He served in my brother’s Tzevet (IDF team), and his friends and brothers-in-arms have launched a campaign to support his and his family’s rehabilitation and healing after unimaginable trauma.
This is one of those moments when we can turn empathy into action. An important cause - please consider helping. 🙏❤️

How is Amanpour still at CNN? Wash Post published this, nine days ago, from former Israeli hostage in Gaza Eli Sharabi:
Food deprivation and disease were routine. The stench of sewage was unbearable, and there were worms everywhere.
Our captors also became more cruel. They replayed the Oct. 7 footage on an iPad; we could hear them from the other room. Watching the murder and the torture seemed to invigorate them. Our legs were constantly shackled (sometimes to each other’s) and we were regularly beaten and humiliated. This went on until just a week before our release.
.@amanpour: The Israeli hostages have "probably been treated better than the average Gazan because they are the pawns & the chips that Hamas had."
Starved, electrocuted, held in chains & cages underground, forced to dig their own graves.
Is that what she considers being treated better than the average Gazan?

Official: Palestinian Hamas is now on the UN “blacklist” for sexual crimes in violent conflicts.
Rape. Gang rape. Genital mutilation. Sexual abuse in captivity - among the most horrific crimes humanity has ever seen.
The UN Secretary-General’s report, to be circulated today (Aug 14) to all General Assembly members, confirms what survivors and witnesses have told us for almost two years. In early 2024, UN Special Representative Pramila Patten documented these crimes in her investigation.
These crimes have not ceased. Hostages are still being sexually abused.
LET THEM GO NOW!
Hamas terror must end.

Toronto International Film Festival just cancelled the screening of a film about the October 7 massacre because there was no “legal clearance” from Hamas for their GoPro massacre videos.
This festival would have asked Hitler or Goebbels for copyright on Auschwitz footage.
Of course, the festival is about to screen five Palestinian films.
This vicious and sickening decision must be cancelled immediately!

In a sane world, when a civilian is kidnapped from a music festival and reappears nearly two years later, starved, abused, and filmed digging his own grave, people care.
So where is the Red Cross?
Where is the UN?
Where are the human rights activists?

We have appended an Editors' Note to a story about Mohammed Zakaria al-Mutawaq, a child in Gaza who was diagnosed with severe malnutrition. After publication, The Times learned that he also had pre-existing health problems. Read more below.
ALT Children in Gaza are malnourished and starving, as New York Times reporters and others have documented. We recently ran a story about Gaza’s most vulnerable civilians, including Mohammed Zakaria al-Mutawaq, who is about 18 months old and suffers from severe malnutrition. We have since learned new information, including from the hospital that treated him and his medical records, and have updated our story to add context about his pre-existing health problems. This additional detail gives readers a greater understanding of his situation. Our reporters and photographers continue to report from Gaza, bravely, sensitively, and at personal risk, so that readers can see firsthand the consequences of the war.
