I was only gone one day and two nights, but I’m as tired as if I trekked the Himalayas. The fact that, even now that we’re home, the kids are screaming in the background (“Give it to me. You promised me!” “I did not. You’re cheating.” “Mommy!” “MOMMMMMMYYYYY!!!!”), may go

A comment thread some time ago concerned whether I was right or wrong in discounting Human Rights Watch’s endless attacks on Israel. I therefore read this with interest: The New York Sun publishes an
