SUNDAY 1 SEPTEMBER 2024
Oh, boy, where did August go? I’m still hobbling around on a hurt knee, but I can at least put weight on it now. I need two shoulder replacements and another knee replacement. Get your thyroids checked, and if you have abnormal levels, get something done – while you are young.
Israel (MSNBC)
The IDF reports that six Israeli hostages, most of them young people who were at the music festival, were killed shortly before troops could get to them in Rafah.
HAMAS blamed Netanyahu and Biden for the murders. Last week, a hostage was abandoned and found alive.
There is another large protest in Israel where they are trying to pressure the government into making a cease fire deal. They want to shut down the country. The protest is for a cease fire deal and also against Netanyahu. Families argue that a military solution is a death sentence for the hostages.
Interview with Aaron David Miller:
- Sinwar, Hamas leader, is probably in a tunnel in Gaza. He has probably directed the killing of hostages and not allowing them to be taken back alive.
- Two right-wing members of Netanyahu’s government have threatened to resign if any cease fire deal is made.
- Harris has said Hamas cannot control Gaza. This echoes Netanyahu’s line of argument.
- Sinwar and Netanyahu have decided that time is on their side and they have no reason to come to an agreement.
- There were things that the US could do to pressure for a cease fire, but they have been reluctant to do that.
Other
- Oh, no. A debate on September 10. I can’t. I just can’t. You cannot “debate” Donald Trump. I sense a disaster in this. How can they think that this will work?

The US issued its sixth batch of sanctions targeting Israeli settler violence in the West Bank, blacklisting a group that provides volunteer guards for illegal outposts and a civilian security guard for a flashpoint settlement who has allegedly engaged in attacks against Palestinians. Magid gives nuance to who was — and what wasn’t — including in this latest batch of sanctions.
