Worst cover of Once In A Lifetime ever
You may find yourself
On a Sicilian resort
And you may find yourself
Doing podcasts with racists in another part of the world
And you may find yourself
Behind the microphone with a 7 Spotlight interviewer
And you may find yourself in a beautiful Parliament House
With a surge in the polls
And you may ask yourself
"Well... why am I here?"

Quite good column from Ezra Klein www.nytimes.com/2025/07/20/o...
Debates about Israel often circle the same, strangely posed question: Does Israel have the right to exist? The question is engineered to trap the conversation in the past rather than capture the urgency of the present. Israel does exist. It is a rich, nuclear-armed power with the strongest military in the region, by far. It decapitated Hezbollah and humiliated Iran. Hamas could perpetrate the murders of Oct. 7 only because Israel had become so certain of its strength that it allowed its attention to basic questions of security to lapse. But Hamas did not then, and certainly does not now, threaten Israel’s existence.

Israel has more than the right to exist. It has the strength to exist. The Jews who live there have more than the right to self-determination. They have self-determination. The same cannot be said for Palestinians. About two million Palestinians live inside Israel. They are, by any measure, second-class citizens. In 2018, three Palestinian members of Israel’s Knesset proposed a law to affirm “the principle of equal citizenship for every citizen” and outlaw “discrimination on grounds of nationality, race, religion, gender, language, color, political outlook, ethnic origin or social status.”Yuli Edelstein, then the speaker of the Israeli Knesset, would not permit it even to be debated. “This is a preposterous bill that any intelligent individual can see must be blocked immediately,” Edelstein said. “A bill that aims to gnaw at the foundations of the state must not be allowed in the Knesset.”

It is revealing of the morally weakened position Israel now inhabits that it cannot survive the principle of political equality.

The situation is immeasurably worse for the five million Palestinians living in the West Bank and Gaza. Israel decides where they can move and where they can go. Israel decides who can enter the West Bank and Gaza and who can leave. Israel decides what the Palestinian Authority can do and what it cannot. While I was driving across the West Bank on a reporting trip last year, the debate that raged in America over the protesters who chanted “from the river to the sea” disintegrated, for me, into farce. There is a single sovereign between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea and every checkpoint and road closure was a reminder of who it is.
