@phillmv @Alon @BenRossTransit @stevenbodzin @ZekuZelalem that’s a great thread. we are collectively doing much too much “give war a chance” right now, cheering one side or the other on from the sidelines. i’m not saying “ceasefire now”, in gaza or in ukraine. war has a dynamic that can’t be denied, restoring peace requires terms rather than unilateral abandonment. but my god we should be striving for those terms, rather than expecting good from tremendous, exhilarating evil.
