The "hostage watch calendar" might be an improvement.
I recall in the Arafat days a "cargo list" from an intercepted "weapons smuggling ship" that was helpfully in English, including the header of the Palestinian Authority that was to be the recipient.
leptoq, somor: is it worth it? Probably you can't completely see what this Israel-Land undertaking has done to you, but do you think the mindset you had evolved even prior to the October 7 attack is natural, is healthy?
You don't have to do it. What is it you think you're accomplishing by participating in it, and does that perception stand up to critical scrutiny?
The only parties I see as having a reasoned support of the Israel endeavor are first the British Empire and then the United States, both of them out of their hegemonist inclination to stick a finger in the eye of the Arab World, to keep it from becoming a serious rival.
And that presumes that a world dominated by Britain or America is better than a world of general equality, which even if you accept that Britain or America is culturally superior to the rest of the world, and particularly the Arabs and Muslims, has some difficult questions to address regarding stability.
And, it should be needless to say, sacrificing the Jewish People to that effort doesn't even register as an issue with the real hegemonists: the tip of the spear invariably gets broken off, but so what -- ?
Is whatever you think you're achieving worth it?
