Not clear where to put this -- no "news" or "current events" territory any more.

I don't really know what to make of all this -- not only is it not in my wheelhouse, it's sort of in my anti-wheelhouse. Whatever your thoughts on the general calibre of different types of media and reportage, the absolute trough of reliability has got to be anything to do w/ Israel vs Arabic World and all the culture-warring that spirals off from it like a toxic oil spill. Usually, all of it is best avoided.

With that giant disclaimer, Kulak has written a bunch of stuff before, on proximate topics, that has struck me as deeply informed and insightful, even if sometimes she gets me stirred up and enraged. So I dunno. Worthy of your attention, probably. She's a serious and thoughtful person, worth a Twitter follow if you're into that.

I'd be interested in informed perspectives / reactions.
