הטרור היהודי בגדה אינו תופעה מפוזרת. יש לו גיאוגרפיה.

המפה הזו צריכה להיות מונחת על שולחנם של שר הביטחון, הרמטכ״ל, אלוף פיקוד המרכז, מפקד מחוז ש״י וראש השב״כ. היא מראה דבר פשוט: מוקדי החיכוך אינם מפוזרים באקראי ברחבי הגדה. הם מרוכזים במספר אזורים ברורים ומוכרים.

הריכוזים הבולטים ניכרים במרחב שכם והאזור שממזרח לה, לאורך הצירים המובילים לכיוון בקעת הירדן; במרחב רמאללה ומזרח בנימין; באזור שמדרום לירושלים ובסביבת בית לחם; ובעיקר בריכוז הגדול של מוקדים בדרום הר חברון. גם במרחבים נוספים ניתן לזהות אשכולות ברורים של מוקדי חיכוך ברמה גבוהה ובינונית.

וזו בדיוק הנקודה: מי שטוען שקשה להתמודד עם התופעה מפני שהיא רחבה, ספונטנית או בלתי צפויה, צריך להביט במפה.

לא צריך להציב שוטר וחייל ליד כל בית בגדה. צריך לרכז מודיעין, כוחות ואכיפה במוקדים הידועים, להגביר נוכחות באזורים שבהם מצטברים אירועים, לפקח על התנועה אליהם ומהם, ולאכוף את החוק נגד מי שיוצאים מהם לפגיעה בפלסטינים וברכושם.

כאשר דפוס האירועים חוזר שוב ושוב באותם מרחבים, אי־אפשר עוד להסתפק בתגובה לאחר מעשה. המפה מאפשרת לעבור מתגובה למניעה.

המלחמה בטרור היהודי אינה דורשת להמציא מערכת חדשה. היא דורשת להשתמש בכלים שכבר קיימים במקום שבו הנתונים מראים שהם נחוצים ביותר.

הבעיה אינה שאין למדינה מושג היכן להתמקד. הבעיה היא האם היא באמת החליטה להתמקד.

Here is a map of settler violence incidents (red triangles).

The Black circle is the village of Nahalin, where Lander was detained.

Lander wasn't protecting anybody from settler violence. He was in a village west of the separation barrier where it doesn't happen. He's a fraud.

Haviv Rettig Gur, whatever you think of him and his views, hosted me twice on his podcast to speak about Palestinian perspective and views, no matter how divergent and different mine are. He did not condition his hosting upon me appearing next to other Palestinians who disagree with me or agreed with him, or even other Israelis; he did not set this up as a debate, but as a conversation and a discussion that was elastic and allowed for mutual learning and engagement, not "gotchu" moments, even though we strongly disagreed on a variety of subjects.

On the other hand, Mr. Mehdi Hasan would not entertain talking to me after he blocked me for two years on social media unless I debated another Palestinian who disagreed with me on his platform, "Zeteo News," with him as the moderator of said debate. He was not interested in a one-on-one conversation with me as he has done with several other guests of his. You make of that what you will but it is absolutely the case that Zionists can often be exponentially easier to engage and speak with than anti-Zionists and the oracles of the “pro-Palestine” industrial complex, particularly when it comes to embracing new and diverse Palestinian perspectives outside of the militantly-enforced orthodoxies, for the anti-Israel crowd is almost always interested in making a point, never actually making a difference.

Vance's earlier Haitian pet-eating lie and his current embrace of Vivek's weaponization of child abuse are providing a pretty ugly picture of the what the Vance 2028 presidential campaign is going to look like. Just venom, lies, and smears all the way down.

Yeah you dumbass. You don’t get claim to land just because your ancestors may have lived there hundreds to thousands of years ago. Your claim to Israel is as valid as my claim to land in Mexico because my ancestor may have lived there.

[Haviv Rettig Gur @havivrettiggur]

Mehdi once wrote a book about how to win an argument even when you know you’re wrong. The trick is to be manipulative and dishonest.

Mehdi has never to my knowledge talked seriously about the Israeli historical experience as he demands of me for Palestinians.

And Mehdi is accusing me of ignoring Palestinians in an interview that, though it was meant to be focused on the Israeli experience, talked a lot about Palestinians.

I’m starting to think Mehdi isn’t an entirely trustworthy guy.

I have seen an email from one of the attendees on the trip.

He wrote to his community that "[r]egarding safety, the nature of our involvement is expected to [be] very low risk, even in a climate of uncertainty."

He wasn't expecting to actually shield Palestinians from hoodlums.

El-Sayed is underperforming Benson by 5 in @maristpoll’s new likely-voter survey, with a +2 lead to her +6.

His deficit is largest among non-white voters and women, while both run similarly among men and independents.

Taking a selfie while getting briefly stopped by the IDF for committing some minor visa violation is the new kissing babies for lefties with aspirations for higher office. It’s in the book.

It’s usually a closed military zone and it was opened for the Palestinians so they could do their harvest.

The Palestinians were supposed to coordinate with the IDF. Instead the local patrol shows up to find 90 foreigners there hanging around taking selfies.

[Brian Tashman @briantashman]

Israel says they detained Lander and rabbis for entering a “closed military zone” but the IDF only declared it a “closed military zone” hours *after* Lander and others were already there to assist with the harvest
