What happened

This week I took a deep breath, stepped out into the sunshine, and thought: “All’s well with the world.” Just kidding.

Why it matters

Although life in Israel carries on – a mix of the ordinary and extraordinary – the world is up to its old tricks.

Common ground

The Hamas invasion and mega-atrocity on October 7, 2023, changed Israel.

Perspective signals

The tension in the story is sharpened by Loaded Language, Name Calling / Labeling, False Equivalence: language that can make the dispute feel more urgent, personal, or adversarial than the underlying facts alone.
