@BenRossTransit @Alon It was easier to track that balance in November, when yes there were egregious excuses made and morally destitute revolutionary cosplay among the (generally discreditable) “anticolonial” left. But now, 30,000+ dead, no plausible endgame, a domestic population that, by the polling, dislikes its leader, yes, but supports the war and does not think its brutality over much. 1/

Perhaps this is me projecting my own experience, but perhaps I am far from alone. It becomes harder and harder to take a balanced view against the backdrop of so many bodies. Dresden and Hiroshima are cautionary takes we worked to put behind us, not precedents to cite in justification. I can’t know, nor can you, but I think every day of this is killing American Jewish sympathy for Israel as a project. /fin
