Day 28
At the end of the day, Israel is fighting for its life, but does that really
make the death of a loved one more tolerable?
Avi Lewis
Dear world: I don’t care
I don’t care if you’re out on the street, waving your flag and chanting your
slogans. We won’t die silently the way you want us to
Gershon Baskin
The end of Hamas
The group whose senior officials I negotiated with for so many years has
forfeited its right to exist as a government
David Sedley

Jews (and non-Jewish Israelis), many people don’t mind all that much
Adele Raemer

Returning to the kibbutz for the first time after the horrors of October 7: A
bloodstained floor and the smell of ashes

Mansour Abbas
For Arabs and Jews in Israel these dark days, patience is a civic duty
There are well-founded fears of tensions escalating to the point of physical
clashes – we must all work to avoid provocations
Joe Buccino
Israel’s perilous underground war in Gaza
Every IDF strike in Hamas’s subterranean labyrinth will reverberate aboveground,
where military victories can easily morph into political defeat
Dan Sagir
Deterrence is no substitute for policy
Israel should use its military capabilities to promote diplomatic agreements
with its neighbors, rather than preserve the status quo of regular conflict
