I was in Israel Oct 7-8. Had to shelter etc when the missiles came. Of greater interest, on Oct 5 I went into Jordan to visit Mt Nebo and Amman. Gazing over the valley it was interesting my guide couldn’t bring himself to say the word “Israel.” He could talk about Palestine a lot. He was very much an example of man in the street. Hatred of Israel is now baked into their DNA. Notwithstanding this horrible bias, Israel has to be guided what it believes are in its best interest. It’s a matter of survival, not academic debate
I can’t even force myself to read the Washington Post. I don’t know why you torture yourself, Paul. I understand that you live and worked in the Beltway, but the Post has ZERO credibility outside that bubble. Spare yourself the unnecessary torture.
One of the purposes of my work here at Ringside is to chronicle media bias. I can't do this unless I read left-liberal organs like the Post.
The Post also sometimes provides content I can use for other blog-related purposes. This is especially true of the local news section where I read about crime (and lack of punishment), as well as stuff about education (and the lack of it).
I will cancel my subscription to the Post on the same day I stop blogging.
Beyond infuriating.
Given his name, might he be Arab?

I believe the guy was born in Singapore and that his parents are from India.

What an outrage!
Gross. May those responsible for this travesty that will cost innocent lives burn in hell if there is such a place.
