Another crackling interview. Conricos has the breadth and highness to lead Eretz Yisrael. Part Marcus Aurelius and part Eisenhauer he calls it realistically and honestly. These reports are enormously grounding, precisely balanced and invigorating. I have a feeling you will be reporting on the amassing of Canadian Jew Hate, which is more extreme by square footage than even perhaps the US? Sending thanks.

Yes, Caroline…..I agree….Conricus is masterful. Good to know that you find them informative and helpful in breaking down the madness. As for Canada and the Jew hatred…..I have written about it quite a lot and certainly lived it……particularly when I worked with the Department of Global Affairs. Deeply entrenched institutionally antisemitic culture in Ottawa. Time to change things up.

I don’t subscribe to NP. I only subscribe to the best which is State Of Tel Aviv. Thanks for writing back. Keep enjoying the northern lakes and shield.

Well. To be honest…..”pawns” would not have been my choice of word. But I don’t write the headlines. The word doesn’t appear in my column. So. Work with the substance and not the header.

There are some who disagree and think Sinwar would be ok w a deal. Cuz he’d survive in power. I think he’s a dead man walking no matter the outcome. So he might as well go down a martyr…in his mind.

Blunt truth. Please. Pawns?

Not sure what you're asking about. Calling them pawns is consistent with the way they're being treated by the government, imo. That is clear in the piece, I hope. Then, you have Bibi in his own words - reportedly said that they were "collateral damage" shortly after October 7. Many more phrases could work as well.
