fascinating piece Michael - hard not to imagine that many maga people, Vought and Johnson come especially to mind, are looking forward to the last messianic battle - after all, we have to support Israel not because of past events, but because it’s the foretold venue for the Big One - among my friends, Gaza is the most difficult issue, people appalled, Jews torn, friendships strained - reading film writer David Thomson recently, he used the phrase “failed species” in regard to us, lovable and comfort loving high primates that we are - hard not to agree, especially every night on PBS (btw, are they job interviewing when they’re “away”?) when they run the Gaza numbers. great to read this - best of luck

Thanks, Neal. With bitter irony, I occasionally ask in social media which society will succumb to civil war first: the US or Israel? It is immensely frustrating to not see a way out of our dilemmas
