"Bizarre irony. The actual Young Turks paved the way for the CUP and David Ben-Gurion studied law at the University of Istanbul from 1912 to 1914. He and Yitzhak Ben-Zvi both attended the university. So one could argue that ironically the program she appears on is named after the group that paved the way for the founders of Israel"

The attack on Nahal Oz base and the abandonment of the women soldiers is one of the harrowing stories of Oct. X. Fifteen were killed and seven kidnapped from the same unit. The base was overrun for hours. No commanders seem to have checked in or known"

"Where Trump succeeded in getting this deal was his ability to bring Turkey Qatar and Egypt to the same table. Most countries in the region that could have stopped this war were not willing to do the serious work necessary in the past. Many of them took a "wait and see" approach. Israel's war in Gaza was fought primarily solely for tactical gain; there wasn't a clear strategy or post-war vision. This meant that what was required was a big vision for the future which is what Trump brought. However to get there it was necessary to also get Turkey and Qatar on board because they have hosted or"

"Hostages were central to Trump and his team when they were elected in 2024 and its why Witkoff went over to get the ceasefire deal in January 2025. Trump hosted hostages at the White House and often spoke about them with empathy. Eli Sharabi was at the White House while a member of the coalition back home said he had more important things to do than hear Sharabis story. Hostages and their families were not invited to the Prime Ministers residence as often as they were the White House as far as I know.

"Since we are once again seeing the narrative pop up that aid should be cut off or limited to Gaza because of Hamas not fulfilling the deal. Its worth emphasizing: Two years of war in which cutting off aid was used to pressure on Hamas never worked. In fact it was macabre wrong and counter-productive The idea that cutting off or limiting aid to X million civilians in Gaza to pressure a terror group that benefits from their suffering was not logical. It was punishing civilians for the actions of Hamas keeping the civilians under the rule of Hamas throughout two years. Hamas benefited from aid"

"Damascus clearly wants more merging and integration than the Iraqi model. The SDF are also quite different than the Peshmerga because they are not divided along party lines the way the PUK and KDP were in their respective divisions. Its going to be an incredibly complex process in Syria. If this were the 1990s and early 2000s one might imagine a KRG scenario but I suspect things are different today. The SDF are more cohesive in some/many ways than the current state of the Damascus-backed security forces. This is why Damascus has such trouble when tensions flare in areas like Lattakia Suwayda"

"I remember the Rwandan genocide people also tried to downplay it and excuse it as linked to economic clashes and other than what it was. Boko Haram is an openly Islamist extremist group that murders civilians. I've also heard the "herder-farmer" excuse before in other conflicts. It doesn't add up though. When the victims are all from one religious-ethnic group.it's not "clashes".and just because one group is "farming" and they are all being murdered and kidnapped.doesn't make it acceptable. In more genocides there is a scapegoat where the "other" is presented as some kind of evil group they"

"IDF: Earlier today (Sunday) terrorists fired an anti-tank missile and gunfire toward IDF troops operating to dismantle terrorist infrastructure in the Rafah area in southern Gaza in accordance with the ceasefire agreement. In response the IDF has begun striking in the area to eliminate the threat and dismantle tunnel shafts and military structures used for terrorist activity.""

"What lacks clarity about the war call is how it would be different than the last two years. There are no living hostages. However history has shown that what happens during the war is that the Gazan civilians are evacuated only to areas Hamas controls essentially cementing Hamas in control because Hamas moves from place to place with the civilians. With GHF apparently wrapped up operations there's no alternative place for Gazans to go and reside and get aid. This inevitably would seem to mean more bombing but no change in strategy or tactics. How would Hamas be "disarmed" or "destroyed" or"

"The video the IDF posted today shows what the IDF says are armed terrorists in the Beit Lahia area behind the yellow line the IDF then struck them. What's clear is these guys thought they could move about with some of them appearing to be armed. It shows how quickly armed terror groups have re-emerged. Beit Lahia is largely destroyed. It's also very close to the Israeli border. It didn't take long for them to feel this confident"
