As a fellow liberal Zionist, I have lately wondered if I’m a dinosaur. I appreciate your heartening words here. And actually, most people in my world seem to align with what you wrote here.

Thanks Julie. I have a probably unwarranted hope, even confidence, that this dinosaur will emerge again as the only actually-feasible way forward. Some day.

Good work, Jay. I believe the perspective you articulate has been there all along -- it just takes time, patience, and safety/courage to spell out the complicated variables, which is a lot harder than quick and short slogans that will fit on a cardboard square or meme. Thank you for taking the time to consider those complications and name them in a direct and meaningful way. No one will forget or forgive the horrors of October 7 -- AND the killings in Gaza have to stop.

Thank you Don -- and thanks for sharing Mary's piece, which is both beautiful and articulate.

Hi Jay, I appreciate the compassion you have for the Gazans. This article shares the terrible occupation that they have been under from Hamas . Hopefully, the IDF will finally free them and allow them to have a decent life. https://open.substack.com/pub/bariweiss/p/imam-father-gaza-kidnapped-by-hamas?utm_source=direct&r=ee642&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web
