Antagonizar al país más grande de la región y tercer socio comercial de Chile, antes de asumir la presidencia —y por un gustito ideológico—, no da indicios de moderación ni de responsabilidad en política exterior. www.theclinic.cl/2026/03/10/t...
The EU and individual European countries have no idea how much damage their protection of Israel does to their reputation in the Global South — and some progressive parties to their voters at home. This can have generational effects!

Attacks leave dead vs killed
Oh
Let's go ahead and partially translate the title into Spanish and call it the Junta of Peace.
If they had a shred of decency, they’d die of shame
"It is erroneous to dismiss the possibility that—as happened in 1948 and 1967—an intense Israeli/Iranian regional confrontation can manufacture a Nakbaic conjuncture (resulting in fewer Arabs present in the already fully Israeli-controlled territory of Mandatory Palestine)."
Mr. Archivist, apparently.

Screenshot of an X (Twitter) post by Gabriel Boric Font (@GabrielBoric) with a verification badge. The post (in Spanish) condemns Israel’s government led by Netanyahu as “murderers and criminals,” says they continue killing innocent children in Palestine, and vows to do everything possible so they are held accountable; “history will judge them.” Below it is a quoted post from Radio ADN (@adnradiochile) with the headline: “VIDEO. Israeli soldiers shot a Palestinian boy and blocked ambulances while he died,” plus a link preview. At the bottom are the timestamp “9:34 AM · Feb 27, 2026,” “643.6K Views,” and engagement icons/counts.

Which reminds me that I got a driver's license in Texas just so I wouldn't have to walk around with my passport to buy a beer.
Abetting genocide should cost you an election - and in a fair world, much more than that. The Democratic leadership believed they could impose this heinous policy on their voters, and many walked away. It is a stark indictment of the non-authoritarian, liberal alternative to Trumpism.
"What do I think of the Board of Peace? I think it is a colonialist operation: others deciding for the Palestinians."

"Estimamos 75.200 muertes violentas entre el 7/10/2023 y el 5/01/2025 lo que representa aprox. el 3,4% de la población de Gaza antes del conflicto. La cifra del Min. de Salud para este período (49.090 muertes) fue un 34,7% inferior a nuestra estimación central"

Awards for Palestinians, impunity for Israelis.
Truly vile, but also a rip-off of Golda Meir.
This is the enduring legacy of authoritarian regimes, even after their fall: the destruction of trust and social capital.
“the CAH group had extraordinarily high scores on the Interpersonal/Affective facets yet relatively low scores on the Lifestyle/Antisocial facets. LPA identified the expected four latent classes, with most CAH men located within the Callous-Conning class.”

“[E]l primer estudio científico directo sobre violadores de derechos humanos en Chile […] revela un hallazgo incómodo: menos impulsividad que en la delincuencia común, pero niveles excepcionalmente altos de frialdad emocional, manipulación y ausencia de culpa”.

I don't say all this in anger, but with profound sadness. For the first time in my lifetime, the United States has become a place where I neither want to be nor want to send my children to study. That a majority of voters in the United States chose and enabled this political project not once but twice and continue to endow it with a healthy level of support, gives me sorrow beyond measure. It is the sorrow the comes from knowing that we cannot unsee what we're seeing. Whateverhappens in the future, this stain will stay. And as Geoffrey Firmin, the aging drunken consul in John Huston's movie "Under the Volcano," had it, "Some things you can't apologize for"
Having spent half my adult life in the US, earning my BA and PhD, and making so many friends, this essay captures much of how I see things unfolding there.

“Four of my children just evaporated,” Badran said, holding back tears. “I looked for them a million times. Not a piece was left. Where did they go?”
There are no words to adequately describe the evil here.
A member of the Israeli bobsled team is a reservist in the 188th Armored Brigade, a brigade that carried out the triple-tap attack on journalists at Nasser Hospital.
There is simply no moral argument for allowing war criminals to compete at the Olympics.
I remember him from a 30 Rock episode where he gives political advice to Jack Donaghy.
