The asymmetry of the value placed on human life is so striking. Israel has a goal to recover 40-year-old remains; to do so, it invades a sovereign country, and the lives of 26 Lebanese are an afterthought. Their names not even worth printing in the New York Times.

Going around the question by embracing panpsychism and saying of course it is, but only little more than a tomagotchi

Not a helpful contribution, I know, but is this not the top-to-bottom strategy of this administration (of which we must consider this Court a part)?
