We can have values or realism; it is pretty hard to have both, even when we should & can avoid extremes. I think what the Carney government is trying to convey is that we will be making some pretty inconsistent compromises to survive. But it doesn’t sound as tidy. apple.news/AeALbv3ypTU2...

New — I had the opportunity to see NAZA, the documentary freaking out the Israeli government because of its horrifying firsthand descriptions of the way the IDF has used AI to target and massacre Palestinian civilians. My thoughts on the film’s damning revelations, and the banality of evil:

I saw the documentary the Israeli government doesn’t want you to see
'NAZA' dispels once and for all the myth that the IDF didn't target civilians in Gaza.

I watched Macklemore’s speech at the concert. He didn’t say anything remotely hateful of Jews. He criticized the Israeli government, but explicitly reached out Jews in the audience to say he loved them. That he was opposing genocide, not Jews. Outrageous that big arenas canceled him.

Trying to be objective, this is a big part of why Canadians are going more insane than usual. We don't have that privilege. Set aside the US government meeting with (& funding?) Alberta secessionists, which has its own obvious IR implications. But how does any rational state respond to threats?

Israel is on a destructive and self-destructive spiral and it cannot break out of it without external intervention. Those who are shielding Israel from accountability form a much greater risk to the future of Jewish Israeli society (and diaspora Jews) than critics like Mamdani.
