Backlash against climate policies is a huge challenge. But it doesn’t help to conflate the lobbying power of incumbent polluting industries, the national security imperatives of policymakers, and reactionary mobilization as all the same “popular pressures” washingtonpost.com/opinions/2023/…

⚠️ HAPPENING NOW AT NYC'S GRAND CENTRAL STATION: THOUSANDS OF JEWS AND ALLIES HOLD AN EMERGENCY SIT-IN, DEMANDING A CEASEFIRE IN GAZA. WE'RE TAKING OVER THE GRAND CONCOURSE. WE'RE REFUSING TO ALLOW A GENOCIDE BE CARRIED OUT IN OUR NAMES. CEASEFIRE NOW! NEVER AGAIN FOR ANYONE! ⚠️
An escalation in the 75-year Israeli-Palestinian conflict is not a "sign of the end of Pax Americana". Too many commentators in America (across the political spectrum) are incapable of thinking about the Middle East without navel-gazing
The attack on Israel and the ethnic cleansing in Nagorno-Karabakh are signs of the end of Pax Americana. Expect more interstate conflict, now that there's no hegemon to intervene. noahpinion.blog/p/youre-not-go…

Sir Patrick Stewart, welcome to @TheWarOnCars.
Wasn’t Netanyahu supposed to be the strongman that would keep Israel safe? He’s been so busy dismantling democracy he completely missed the invasion plan. Turns out doing a coalition with extremists & making a fanatic your security minister isn’t great security policy.
Extraordinary

This was a stunning and massive intelligence failure in Israel. The planning for this attack was massive and intricate over months-how could they have missed it? There are two possible explanations. One is that everybody failed. The other is that Netanyahu ignored the warnings.
It is not helpful to use the term "terrorism" in a war when the White House only ever applies it to one side. Better to remind both Hamas and the Israeli government that humanitarian law makes it a war crime to target or indiscriminately fire on civilians. whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/…
"Gaza is a cage, is the biggest prison in the world. Nobody spoke about lifting the siege. People who live 70 years in a cage want to resist, and if they have the possibility they'll do it..." Israeli journalist Gideon Levy speaking on BBC News.
@ValPatreau @LDesbois_Outrmt Désolée, mais même un samedi matin tranquille et pluvieux, les voitures nous coupent le passage à l’intersection de Lajoie et Outremont. C’est en face *de l’école*. L’autobus 160 passe sur Bloomfield en ce moment, pourquoi ne pas forcer les voitures de faire pareil?
@LDesbois_Outrmt. Pourriez-vous fermer la circulation devant l’école Lajoie? Les voitures roulent tout droit sur la traverse piétonne pendant les travaux. Le brigadier travaille fort pour arrêter les voitures, mais il n’est pas là toute la journée. cc @ValPatreau
This appears to be a catastrophic intelligence failure by Israel, one that will be studied and criticized for a long time, but it can't be only that. Multiple layers of security failed. The Gaza border wall failed (paragliders zipped in). The technology failed.
This is not the time to attribute responsibility or blame for this. There will be many found culpable. This much is clear: Israel will never be paradise if life in Gaza is hell.
As Western leaders unequivocally (and rightly) condemn the attack in #Israel, I hope they are also on the phone with Netanyahu underscoring that decimating Gaza is not the answer to an endless occupation and that after Hamas is dealt with, a new path forward *must* be forged.
This is not the time to attribute responsibility or blame for this. There will be many found culpable. This much is clear: Israel will never be paradise if life in Gaza is hell.
To call this an intelligence failure is too simple. Every single piece of defense -- air, land, water -- failed. It is inexplicable to those of us who have worked with them or know their capacity. @CNN
I will be joining @CNN starting in 8am on Israel's historic counterterrorism and intelligence capabilities and this surprise attack.

Not a message that many in Israel will want to hear today, but eventually it's the only way to end this...
This seems like a repeat Israeli message from 30 years ago...massive Israeli attacks & siege of Gaza & its civilians have only generated the will and capabilities to resist that we witness today. War will not resolve this. Only an honest negotiation that respects all rights.
