Stroock's Books has repeatedly said that Bibi should win the war in Gaza and resign. It seems many in Likud agree. Via The Times of Israel, 'Members of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s Likud party are concerned that if Netanyahu fails to resign at the end of Israel’s war with Hamas, voters will oust them from the government and keep them out for decades to come, effectively putting an end to their political careers.' Meet Danny Danon, the man who would be Bibi. The article quotes a poll that shows were an election held today, Likud would win 25 seats, down from its current 32. Make a deal and get out Bibi. Write your memoir of the war. Follow that up with some kind of Israeli history. Earn $50,000 a pop doing a speaking tour in the US. [Puts on Omar Sharif voice], resign, Bibi.
The New York Post reports on the presidents of Harvard, MIT and UPenn testifying before congress about the anti-Jewish pogroms sweeping their campuses. Read of their failure to condemn Jew hatred and behold the horror. We found the stories of three Jewish students on these campuses compelling, and enraging. Do click on that link. There is deep meaning in the presidents of Harvard, MIT and UPenn being late middle-aged wine ladies with PHDs, but this blog doesn't know what it is.
Decorum prevents us from writing what we think of MIT president Sally Kornbluth, Harvard president Claudine Gay, and UPenn President Liz Magill. But when we see these people, words come to mind, mean, nasty words. Those words are well deserved. It just shouldn't be that hard to condemn Juden hass, Jew hatred. Stroock's Books doesn't think Israelis in Judea and Samaria should attack West Bank Persons. It's wrong and the Israeli government shouldn't stand for it. There, we said it. Not hard, was it? So why can't Sally, Kornbluth, Claudine Gay and Liz Magill condemn Jew hatred? Hmmm...we wonder.
The War Night short story, Alberta Plain, is going fine so far. We have a lone man on the range with his horse and his dog. Hmmmm... in The Aftermath of 1976 we wrote about a lone man in the Berkshires with his pets, and made him a Nazi. Are we playing to type? Or are these stories a window into the heart of Will Stroock, wishing to spend his days in quiet contemplation and solitude surrounded by natural beauty- sans the Nazi bit? Anway, the missiles hit, the southern horizon glows. What does out man in Alberta do after that?
The read through of World War 1990: The Final Storm continues apace. We're taking it slow [You take everything slow, by necessity -Ed]. We're on page 50. Our proofer is further ahead. January. February 1st?
