A friend of mine growing up, run of the mill secular Reform Jew, used to visit Israel in the 90s. Even then he would tell you how nuts the settler wing was. Watching them go from fringe to mainstream in a few decades has been wild. They openly revere that guy who assassinated Rabin. On Civil War threads, people always ask, what other country has all these monuments to traitors? Yigal Amir is about the closest I’ve found. I have a feeling there will be many monuments to him after he dies.

They seem like nice people. One of Netanyahu’s coalition partners, Itamar Ben-Gvir, Minister of National Security and leader of the Otzma Yehudit party, was famous for having a portrait of Goldstein in his living room. He also has spoken at events commemorating Kahane. It’s been really wild to watch these guys go from the total fringe of Israeli politics to the drivers seat. How can what remains of secular Israel survive this? I give Israel another decade or so before it faces serious internal problems between factions of its Jewish population. Has a domestic ring to it.

A Palestinian USAID employee was murdered by an Israeli policeman yesterday x.com/john_hudson/status/1778976669035880772?s=46An internal memo from Samantha Power on the killing of a USAID official in Israel (a 20 year veteran): “Colleagues -
It is with immense sadness that I share the devastating news that Jacob Toukhy, a beloved member of our USAID/West Bank and Gaza Mission, was killed near his home in Jaffa today. Jacob was a 20 year veteran of USAID, and his death comes as a huge shock to our West Bank and Gaza team and our entire USAID family. Jacob is survived by his mother and his six and eleven year old daughters.
Our teams in Washington and at the Mission are working with U.S. Embassy colleagues to ascertain details about the circumstances of his death. We are also working with the Mission to provide more information about how USAID staff can offer support to Jacob’s family and recognize his tremendous service.
Jacob’s death is being felt deeply and widely. I encourage you all to take care of yourselves—including by utilizing Staff Care resources—and to support each other in the days and weeks ahead.
Samantha”
