Though I don't find persuasive his call for more "honesty" (which in my experience is a problem endemic mainly to the most privileged), I enjoyed Yotam Marom's piece very much and agree with his diagnosis of conflict-avoidance as a major problem in US Left culture. convergencemag.com/articles/yot...

The Trump administrations head-spinningly absurd decisions on their illegal war on Iran may be by design.
