Maybe people go stale/run out of things to say after a while. I’d certainly welcome new and informed voices in the NYT. (You’d be great!)

It’s also interesting to reflect on how historically common it is for truly dehumanising ideas to find justification in paternalistically benevolent rationales.
Trump acknowledged Gaza’s uninhabitability in a way Biden never did. But his “solution” is preposterous & monstrous.

I used to live there. This is the heart of the city being told to move.

He’s part of the old bi-partisan foreign policy consensus/blob that gave us the Iraq war,

Well, they’re American. I had a very minor job at the US Embassy in Rome many years ago, where the ambassador (a political appointee) was mad at how beef cost more than in the USA, and I had to document it.

I think I saw you when you were a kid there. You had a whole bunch more hair. Your parents drove this Honda Civic wagovan thing.

I recommend Vietnam if you get a chance - lots of history, of course! And I’m biased since my mom is from there. Lots to see, taste, and think about.

Its sad because it became an integral part of everything from political organizing to early warning weather systems to relatively dry governmental agencies making jokes about holiday tree safety standards. The loudest idiots got mad they weren't getting adulating attention and ruined it for everyone
