I think you've hit it on the head, in that it will be a question of how openly the next administration enables the horrors perpetuated by the Israeli government. What a time to be alive!

That is not true for the Nobel Prize in Economics, which is not one of the five official Nobel Prizes.

The Swedish government and the Swedish academy are notoriously myopic/tone deaf when it comes to these issues.

Sorry about that, I mistook you for someone else. The Royal Academy of Sciences doesn't administer the Nobel Prize for Economics, which isn't one of the five official Nobel Prizes and thus overseen by a complex mix of the Swedish government--including the Academy of Sciences--and the Sveringes Riksbank.

Oh boy, ethnic prejudice: my own academic researched focused on borders and migration in colonial and post-colonial states and I taught US and World History on both the high school and college level. Race, racism, the Atlantic Slave Trade, and colonialism/post-colonialism pervade all of those subjects and were constants throughout my curriculum.

I suspect that post election we'll see a renewed push into Gaza and the West Bank. This feels a lot like Reagan and the Iran Hostage Crisis.

I'd bet money I don't have that "halted" means "delayed until after the US election". But that's the cynic in me . . .

I will bear all of that in mind. Have a good one. May the Force be with you.

He's already invaded Lebanon. I suspect Rafah's only been spared so they can focus on that.

I think that comment was aimed more at the Nobel Prize in Economics committee--administered and funded by Sweden's Riksbank--but your point does stand.

I get what you're saying but I'll point out he has our near-unquestioning support now.
