We give billions of dollars in military aid to Israel each year

Should that aid be conditioned on reducing conflict rather than aggravating it?

Civilians die; 2.) Extremists on each side gain.

The latest crisis was triggered in part by Israel’s land grab in East Jerusalem, but more broadly by the way a two-state solution is receding toward impossibility. Hamas is of course escalating (and is also repressive within Gaza), but we Americans don’t have influence over Hamas while we do have influence over Israel. That raises a question: Is several billion dollars of annual military assistance to Israel really the best use of that money? Should it be conditioned on reducing conflict rather than aggravating it? Would the money be better directed to vaccinating people against Covid-19 abroad or providing pre-K at home?

For years I’ve disagreed with her on just about every issue, and I was particularly disgusted by the way she seemed to cultivate favor with Wyoming homophobes by throwing her gay sister under the bus. But she was right in recent months to denounce Donald Trump’s lies about the election being stolen, and now the Republican Party has ousted her from the House leadership. It was striking that the House Republicans purged her on a voice vote, not a recorded vote. I think that’s because so many know that by staying on the right side of Trump, they’re putting themselves on the wrong side of history — and a decade or two from now, they’ll all claim they voted with Cheney. At some point, the G.O.P. will emerge from this madness, but apparently not for a while. To underscore the wackiness, a Michigan lawmaker has [drafted](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRifs8oP4QiAWh0dHBzOi8vd3d3LmRldHJvaXRuZXdzLmNvbS9zdG9yeS9uZXdzL3BvbGl0aWNzLzIwMjEvMDUvMTEvbWljaGlnYW4tZ29wLWxhd21ha2VyLWZsb2F0cy1iaWxsLXJlZ2lzdGVyLWFuZC1maW5lLWZhY3QtY2hlY2tlcnMvNTA0MzM5OTAwMS8_Y2FtcGFpZ25faWQ9NDUmZW1jPWVkaXRfbmtfMjAyMTA1MTImaW5zdGFuY2VfaWQ9MzA3MTImbmw9bmljaG9sYXMta3Jpc3RvZiZyZWdpX2lkPTc3Njc0OTUyJnNlZ21lbnRfaWQ9NTc5MDUmdGU9MSZ1c2VyX2lkPWFhNDkxZWY3ZjFkOTY0ZTQ5NzlmYjc4NGU3NGUwMWQ3VwNueXRCCmCcKEqcYBslq9ZSG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjkwQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAAA~~) the “Fact Checker Registration Act,” which would license fact checkers and require them to post a $1 million bond, which could be forfeited if they erred.

And the more I looked at foster care, the more broken it seemed to be. Only half of foster care students graduate from high school, and only 2.5 percent graduate from college. Part of the problem is that, as research suggests, kids simply do better with family members. There certainly are many cases of parents whose propensity for violence, drugs or alcohol make them inappropriate caregivers. But then we should work hard to find another relative — a grandma, an aunt, an older sibling — and provide financial support and coaching to help that person look after the kids. Programs like Youth Villages do that very well.

Ma’Khia’s mom seems to have been unable to care for her kids. But the grandmother was eager to do so, but needed help. Unfortunately, the state was willing to pay 10 times as much to an outside foster parent as it was to the grandmother.

Some foster care parents are outstanding, devoted and dedicated people who have a transformative impact on kids. Still, on the whole, foster care should be the last resort, not a crutch, and we should try much harder to find relatives and support them as they raise kids who can’t be with parents. The Rising Toll in the Middle East When The New York Times hired me in 1984, the plan was to send me to be a correspondent to the Middle East, since I had lived in Egypt and spoke Arabic. But then I ended up instead spending 14 years in Asia as a foreign correspondent, and countries like China and South Korea have been completely transformed in that period — while the Middle East mess remains pretty much the same as ever. I’m afraid that decades from now, the Middle East will also be mired in the same conflict as today, for a peace deal seems ever more illusory.
