    IDF admits 1) the boys were indeed in harm’s way, 2) the IAF didn’t see them, even in an after-action review, 3) 1st time they noticed them was in video by B’Tselem/Forensic Architecture, on Monday.

    Terrific interview.

    I got to interview recently. "My formula is the maximum amount of land with the minimum amount of Palestinians," he explained. As for civil rights, “This is not a philosophy class in some Ivy League college.” Read the interview here:

    Just guessing here, but I don’t think Rex Tillerson will be rubbing Donald Trump’s feet on his death bed (a la Baker and Bush).

    Cool! Here’s to it becoming less weird.

    Maybe it's a misconception, but it feels like Harvard and Yale people are always writing about Harvard and Yale in the NYT. So it's cool and weird to have a shot at being Texas A&M person writing about Texas A&M in the NYT.

    NYT | "He is still playing the victim. But if his legal troubles spell the end of his storied career — and no one is writing him off yet — the evidence uncovered by the police suggests that Mr. Netanyahu will have only himself to blame."

    Crazy that Arab Israeli TV news anchor Lucy Aharish is getting criticism for adding “masa’a al-kheir” (Good evening in Arabic) to the “erev tov” that she normally says at the beginning of her broadcasts. The Jewish TV news anchors should start adding “masa’a al-kheir” as well!

    When two words in Arabic are two too many.

    Under Bush, Netanyahu, then deputy foreign minister, was barred from entering WH and State after he said that "US policy in the Middle East is based on lies and distortions"

    On behalf of the people of Israel, I send heartfelt condolences to the Bush family and the American people on the passing of a great American patriot, President George H.W. Bush.
