From a reader:
Hey Jonah,
Your argument reminded me of a scene from one of my favorite movies,
“Heat”, where the John Voight character is trying to convince the DeNiro
character to run. Paraphrasing, he tells DeNiro that he has to be right
all the time. The cops only have to be right once. That is the position
that Israel has been in from the beginning. Sounds pretty fragile to me.
