When I quit my high-flying job two years ago, I thought the path to greater levels of success was going to be smooth.
After all, I went from a totally inexperienced reporter, the guy everyone at the office ignored, to head of the Israel bureau for Bloomberg News -- one of the

Is that why Israel has repeatedly demanded and forewarned civilians to evacuate the areas it told them that will be targeted? Is that how you target civilians on purpose?

This analogy doesn't make sense. A school shooter is trying to kill the kids in the school. Hamas is trying to kill Israelis, who are outside said school.

Careful Zachary. You don’t want to justify October 7. Remember that Hamas and Islamic Jihad carried out the bulk of suicide attacks in the second intifada. There’s a reason why Israel sealed the border with Gaza after Hamas took over. Because Israel didn’t want an October 7.

The shekel is the best-performing currency in the world this year. Most of that is because Israel's tech industry is on fire.
One thing that never gets mentioned: there was a mini-war here 7 months ago. Half this year, the country was led by an indicted prime minister.

Do you really think Jews get together on Shabbat and whine about how the world hates them, and then plan their revenge?
Or is there something else, perhaps far more identifiable and human, that happens when Jews get together?
An unfortunate reality is that Western Jewish identity is based on the idea that Jews are uniquely chosen & uniquely persecuted. The Holocaust trumps all of man’s crimes (from the Belgian Congo to British colonialism in India & all in between). Yet no one would permit Native
