  1. Tablet Mag, Alex Joffe, “Headhunters“, How anthropology helps us understand the Oct. 7 massacres and the people who committed them

    I have a theory that Neolithic farmers occasionally took part in headhunting: the ritual practice of severing and preserving human heads. At various sites in Syria and the Levant, like Jericho, archaeologists found plastered and otherwise decorated skulls. Whereas most scholars believe that the skulls belonged to venerated ancestors, I and a few other archaeologists believe that these were victims of headhunting expeditions—ritualized violence. As in much later cultures, the skulls were artifacts of magic and power collected by deeply violent societies.

    So here’s the thing: Hamas are headhunters.

  3. I remember the Ramallah lynching very well. I wondered at the time why the Israelis didn’t just pulverize that building and everyone in it on the spot. Perhaps because it was the era of the peace process. Had to let the peace process work.

    Glad the Israelis are playing by different rules now. It really does seem like they’re settling some old scores. Good. And good news about the Yazidi girl.

  4. These were the people obama called the jv team thank heavens for her rescue
