Francesca Albanese, pencil drawing: "Many Israelis I've engaged with keep on asking why--why there are no sanctions. Because of political alliances--but also because I do think many people have not understood how deeply entrenched we all are with Israeli crimes. And not only Israeli crimes-

"and they make us sound as if we know what we’re doing. We know grammar, we know prose, but actually we’re all just struggling in the dark, really." "Nicholson Baker Navigates the Buffet," by Jared Levy, September 16, 2013.

I talked to Jared Levy for Interview Magazine in 2013: "There’s something paralyzing about being a writer that you have to escape. I don’t want to think of myself as a guy who’s written a bunch of books. The 26 letters distance us from our own hesitations--" www.interviewmagazine.com/culture/nich...

Medea Benjamin on Substack medeabenjamin.substack.com/p/trumps-war...

Medea Benjamin: "This is not about nuclear weapons. It’s about regime change. U.S. efforts to overthrow governments—from Iraq to Afghanistan to Libya—have brought nothing but devastation. Regime change fantasies ignore the sovereignty of nations and substitute military might for political solutions. Iran is a complex, populous country with a proud history of resisting foreign domination. Trying to overthrow its government would almost certainly plunge the region into deeper turmoil, with massive civilian suffering and global consequences."

"This war had goals other than military victory," writes Israeli scholar Ilana Hammerman in Haaretz. "Increasingly, it was waged in the spirit of the calls from senior politicians, ministers and Knesset members, as well as generals, to destroy Gaza – www.haaretz.com/opinion/2025... (paywall)
