My understanding is that the destruction of pagers has a strategic defensive and military purpose: the explosions identified Hezbollah soldiers who are embedded among civilians, and it has destroyed the communication capabilities of Hezbollah operatives and their Iranian leaders coordinating plans for all kinds of terrorism and other attacks. The double standard of course is how it's being portrayed as provocative...ignoring how Hezbollah is battering Israel with rockets and drones everyday.
Elissa, I will read your essays however often they come in whatever format works for you best. Personally, I’m more drawn to your political commentary than the literary work, as I find it to be some of the most refreshing, thoughtful, and well researched and written stuff out there. I wish you mazal in both realms and am grateful for your energy .
