Until Oct. 7, Radwan’s presence was a looming threat. After Oct. 7, it is a clear and present danger. 

We are oceans away from thinking about the perfect solution. Let us start with a realistic, tolerable one.

Ask politicians in public and they’ll tell you they don’t think about politics. Ask them in private and they’ll say that they expect Israel to have a new election between April and October of 2024.

What happened that led to the catastrophe of Oct. 7th?

You want the war to end? Prepare to carry it for as long as it takes.

In a realistic world, Gazans are still here, we are also here, and neither are going anywhere.

Is it our job to tell the story, or to help win the war? Does our job require that we be impartial, or does it require that we be partisan?

What will the Gaza Strip look like the day after? That depends, first and foremost, on the outcome of the war. It also depends on Israel’s wishes, and on international pressures, and on internal Palestinian trends. 

Upheavals of the kind that Israel is going through are often followed by significant social, political and ideological changes.

Waiting is a difficult challenge. War – of course – is an even more difficult challenge. And still, waiting for war is not to be taken lightly.
