Fire on the Mountain (Free subscription) | yesterday
[It is far too easy for progressives and lefties in the US to let the occupation of Palestine fall off the radar, and awfully hard to keep organizing and protesting our own government's complicity in that crime, in the face of omnipresent pro-Israel propaganda and the depressing "facts on the ground."

Mead's history lesson reminded me of Barbara Tuchman's Bible and Sword: England and Palestine from the Bronze Age to Balfour . which is about Britain's long historical involvement vis-a-vis Israel. Likewise, Mead provides valuable...
