Some fifteen years ago I wrote that Western reliance on its lens of secular rationality was no longer adequate as a means to understand the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. It was becoming obvious — even then — that the future of the region would be one of wars increasingly defined by…
Scott Ritter, the former UN weapons inspector, said in an interview Monday that he believes Iran will “go for the jugular” right from the start if the U.S. and Israel resume the war because it understands that it will be in an existential fight for survival. “If…
When we can no longer tell the truth because the cost is so high that it threatens our reward for compliance, we’re unimaginably impoverished. Truth has an intrinsic, irreplaceable value. There’s the truth, and then there’s everything else. Truth has value, and so it has a cost. Whatever…
