By: Emily Benedek， Tablet Magazine — May 6th 2024 at 08:56

The Suffering in Gaza Is Different From Other Conflicts

By: Arwa Damon， CNN — May 6th 2024 at 08:53
A child shrieks in pain in a medical tent at a field clinic in southern Gaza. He's 7, with severe burns on his back that are being cleaned and slathered with balm. It's an excruciating process that would be done under anesthesia, in the sterile setting of a hospital, in ideal circumstances. But after nearly seven months of bombing and shelling in Gaza, conditions of any sort have ceased to be even adequate, let alone ideal.

The current radical and often violent protests on mostly blue-state, supposedly elite campuses have exposed in toxic fashion what the left has become. And yet, in a paradoxical fashion, the campus insanity has offered the nation some moral clarity.

What 'Intifada Revolution' Looks Like

By: Iddo Gefen， The Atlantic — May 6th 2024 at 08:11
Last month, a pro-Palestinian activist stood in front of me on Columbia University's campus with a sign that read By Any Means Necessary. She smiled. She seemed like a nice person. I am an Israeli graduate student at the university, and I know holding that sign is within her rights. And yet, its message was so painful and disturbing that after that moment, I left New York for a few days.

What Went Wrong With the Third-Party Movement This Cycle?

By: Bill King， RCP — May 6th 2024 at 08:02
With No Labels abandoning its bid to run its "unity ticket" in 2024, the last hope for a moderate alternative to the duopoly of our incumbent parties for this election cycle vanished. This cycle began with great excitement in the middle of the political spectrum. The parties had careened so far toward the edges that it seemed a moderate alternative would finally emerge. In addition to the No Labels effort, Andrew Yang's Forward Party merged with the SAM Party and the Renew America Movement to form a new party that could have been that moderate alternative.

Why Conservatives Don't Need To Fear Mail-In Ballots

By: Samuel Underhill，＆nbsp；RCP — May 5th 2024 at 14:16
In the aftermath of the 2020 election, GOP politicians have been eager to jump on the villain that supposedly cost Donald Trump a victory: mail-in ballots. Ballot batches were challenged in states like Wisconsin, Michigan, and Georgia, while Donald Trump himself famously accused Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger of covering up the destruction of Trump ballots, pleading with him to "find 11,780 votes."

The cardinals are already meeting to discuss who should be the next pope. Some of the liberal ones, who feel safe because they're in favour with the ailing Pope Francis, can be seen comparing notes in a bar near the gates of the Vatican. The conservative cardinals are more nervous: they gather at suppers in each other's apartments or - if they can trust the fawning waiters not to betray them - in a favourite restaurant.

Unable To 'Win' in Gaza, Israel Sets Its Sights Elsewhere

By: Hussein Ibish， CNN — May 5th 2024 at 15:41
An eerie relative calm has descended on the Middle East - Gaza obviously excluded - since a highly alarming exchange of missile, rocket and drone attacks by Israel and Iran in recent weeks. Fears of an imminent regional war have subsided, with both sides suggesting that, for now at any rate, they believe they have restored deterrence strategically and bolstered national morale enough to offset criticism from hawks and hardliners.

Last Thursday, the Bureau of Economic Analysis released its advance estimate for 2024's first-quarter real GDP growth. At 1.6 percent, it is the worst quarterly performance since the economy contracted by 0.6 percent almost two years ago in the second quarter of 2022. This was a growth level one-third below economists' expectations of 2.4 percent. It is also a precipitous drop from 2023's fourth quarter rate of 3.4 percent and 2023'third quarter rate of 4.9 percent.

If Trump wins the White House in November, when will Republicans leave it? Just because Trump is limited to one more term doesn't mean that Republicans are.

Viewed in its broader potential, a Trump victory in November may not be Democrats' biggest worry.
