Ian Leslie was good, then fell into an absolute hole right at the end. There are plentiful examples of gleeful Israeli state actors getting terribly excited about the genocide of the Palestinians.

I think the point he makes is reasonable, but it's more strained than the rest of it.

I'd be very surprised if it's mainstream Israeli to gloat over a dead Palestinian, though no doubt such people exist.

There is now a database tracking 500 statements of genocidal intent by Israeli decision makers:

Incitement to genocide — variously interpreted — are different to videos of sadistic killings and ringing up your Mum and saying "I feel so great I killed a few of them today!"

Enjoyed the piece on Poundbury (I'd never heard of it - or not that I recalled) and followed it up with the same speaker on the rebuilding of Dresden. Other pieces held my interest, too - as per usual. Thanks.
