Far be it from me to interrupt a bout of cathartic fatalism. Lord knows I’m good for those when the occasion permits. But Dan Foster’s latest is a bit too morose even for a “morosity” veteran like me.
A cursory survey of the noxious rhetoric coming from the American left and the nationalist right (in Israel, where they gathered for a conference, of all places) calling for America to, if not outright sever, at least strain its relationship with Israel to the breaking point led Dan toward a dour realization: “There’s really nothing else to conclude here but that October 7, at least as an act of political terrorism, if not as an attempt to destabilize the Israeli state, worked.”
