I’m still too raw to write anything useful about my feelings about October 7 and Israel’s response—although I don’t mind saying that I have my doubts about this Gaza response—what’s the end game? What good will it have done if in the ashes of Hamas 1.0 we get Hamas 2.0?
The pro-Palestine carolers were at it Saturday night at the Lincoln Center. I had to be ushered in a side door to enjoy Brahms. They should have treated that lame crowd to some classical music, maybe they could find some meaning in life and stop being ignoramus, ineffectual busybodies. Or they might take a moment to realize they agree with Wagner’s antisemitism, even if they can’t appreciate the depth of his music. Classical music is for everyone, see?
The good thing about this is that Hamas 2.0 will learn what happened to Hamas 1.0 and will become more careful, smarter and better prepared, but after Hamas 2.0 is destroyed, the next version will begin to wonder if it is worth trying any further.

When Hamas 1.0 is gone, we'll fight Hamas 2.0 3.0 and so on
There are no good outcomes no matter what Israel - the only country on earth that's not allowed to defend itself - does.
There are also no "moderate" "Palestinians" (both words in quotes). So fuck them all
I am on Twitter but do more reading than posting - except in the last couple of days when the posting bug wouldn't let me rest
Good question. I answer.

And yes, it's a long process.
