#1 The bad truth is that so far neither the perpetrators of 10/7 nor of 9/11 can be said to have made a mistake.

Both attacks weakened the West and strengthened the enemies of Western civilization precisely because, and not in spite of their atrocious nature and scale.

The result of both attacks so far has been that Islam is now relevant in the West as it has never been before while we are on the defensive and our deterrence is gone.

#3 Heller & Wouk & Asimov were some Jewish authors I would have missed. Roth is a biggie I would not. And then there's Marx.

#5 Yeah, yeah. This is where those who supported the haters all this time walk away, which gives actual or tacit support to those who were previously driven out. Most consumers are not terribly political, so they accepted what the system sold. But now that their usual fare will have to be found elsewhere…it’ll be like the newspapers all over again, which seems very fair.

#6 I read all the Chiam Potok books as a kid. Working my way through the Harry Kemelman "Rabbi" books now.
