Ezra Klein now agrees with the One State Reality thesis: “that might have been a controversial claim when it was made. But what has happened since Oct. 7 has made it an undeniable reality.” Enjoy our podcast. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/14/opinion/ezra-klein-podcast-lynch-telhami.html

I don't need a summary of what's available online, in biographies, or even in my own notes. I need to comb through and find the great details, decide what interests ME. No, it's not efficient. It's slow and painstaking. But I don't believe in efficiency as an ultimate good, especially in writing. /
