@Alon @BenRossTransit Hanania is interesting for his candid articulation of usually weak ideas that many people nevertheless hold but won't articulate. I appreciate him for that, his takes are terrible but like a live virus vaccine helpful to understand the terrible ideas that demand refutation. 1/

@Alon @BenRossTransit Re 2023 to 2011, I'm not sure the reference? From my remove, i've perceived a steady retreat into a kind of resignation that what is terrible is also necessary, and an increasing willingness to attribute of collective responsibility ("they nearly all support the terrorists") as justification for what they deem necessary. /fin
