My favorite comment from this podcast episode with @zoecabina is the following: "Quillette's best work of 2025. Very refreshing to hear a liberal/ progressive voice that isn't invested in the anti-Zionist narrative. Thank you both. *This conversation made me realize my problem is more the delusion and moral confusion not the liberal/ progressive lens itself if applied honestly and in search of prosperity and truth."

I’m in the UAE where Israeli-Emirati integration has reached unprecedented heights after the Iran war II which is absolutely incredible and a story only time will tell… Of course, I still mourn those golden days after the Abraham Accords, when we lived through what felt like a glimpse of utopia in the region. You had to be there to know what I’m talking about. But this photo, I received yesterday from an Israeli friend taking part in this historic delegation to Rabat this week, fills me with renewed energy. There was a time when I practically had to smuggle Israeli officials into Morocco.

Despite the painful waves of antisemitism sweeping much of the world, I feel so lucky to be alive to witness these two parts of my heart, these two beautiful flags, coming together. ❤️‍🩹🇲🇦🇮🇱 #AmIsraelChai #DimaMaghrib

Iconic 🇺🇸: American diplomat in Yemen Khaled Wolfsberg responds to Houthi fake news of an alleged siege with the legendary Umm Kulthum line: حب إيه الي أنت جاي تقول عليه 🤣🤣🤣 Particularly brilliant given the Houthis’ fondness for propaganda music videos. Checkmate! 👏

“Now Perriello is asking voters in Virginia to send him back to Congress. He sells himself as a defender of democracy against kings, fascists, and the neo-Nazis who marched in Charlottesville. But Sudan is his most recent record: Islamist-aligned generals got the meetings. Qatar got exclusive access. Brotherhood-linked networks got American legitimacy and generosity. Sudanese democrats got delays, excuses, and corridor encounters. Chemical-weapons survivors got nothing.”

🤣🤣🤣 Equally traumatic.
