Bumping this again for the Friday lunch crowd. If you know who the man on the left is, this 'ticle's for you. Enjoy.

Saying ideology and policy are not important to Eisenkot's appeal reads as a coy attempt to cut off critique of the piece, wherein Remnick repeatedly obfuscates the candidate's stance on the occupation by highlighting the anti-occupation efforts of others like Breaking the Silence. Another example:
Excerpt from David Remnick's "The Anti-Bibi" wherein the author discusses a letter sent by former Israeli leaders regarding "Jewish Terrorism" in the West Bank; at no point does Remnick attempt to connect Eisenkot himself to this letter or the sentiment behind it. With that being said, by including this example in an article that puts Eisenkot front and center, it's implied that the reader should infer that the "Anti-Bibi" may agree with the contents of the letter when there is not any demonstrable evidence to substantiate that.

The toxic, racialized election discourse that pitted DC “transplants” against longtime residents was, in fact, driven almost entirely by wealthy white people. These commentators need to rethink the nasty racist stereotypes that lay behind their false and insulting conception of the DC electorate.

As the website of 35-45 year olds, a lot of us are just at the park with young, energetic kids on weekend mornings and do "the work" at odd hours/through other less overtly visible avenues. Anecdotally, I think this cohort is also pretty pissed off.
