1. In the newly published volume of State Department documents, I found this on page 1079 from minutes of a meeting on November 14, 1972:

Seems that the Labour Party at the time puts many a Likudnik to shame.

2. The New York Times calls it “confrontation” not an attempted murder or an act of terror.

Language laundering but it gets the dirt in deeper.

3. A new book is published

Will anyone send it to Peter Beinart, Jeremy Ben-Ami, et al.?

Are you enjoying your summer, too?
