Gaza War - 2014

Yes, but what's "it"? My writing is almost purposefully snippettic (yes, I just made that word up): a thought here, a thought there, a reaction to something I read, or something that's been brewing by me for a while. Sometimes I'm writing about how I understand Zionism, sometimes I'm wondering about doubt (or triple) standards. I think I also purposefully want to make my writing more like thinking out loud because one of the things I resist is the tone of self-assuredness that so much of what gets written assumes.

And BTW, we're now four hours into what's still a holding cease fire. After 50 days it's a bit strange. I just saw a retweet (I'll translate):

if we've already lost, can we at least not deal with this for a while? But I need to remember what used to interest me.

I can definitely identify with that. I used to be concerned with other issues that I really thought were interesting and important.
