  • "Between the lines: The chaotic incidents indicate how much ultranationalists in Israel have been emboldened under Netanyahu’s governments, especially after Oct. 7.

    It is also a sign of the disintegration of the IDF chain of command and the military’s internal law and order, encouraged by ultranationalist politicians who for years called the military a “liberal” institution and said it was part of a “deep state” that needs to be dismantled."

    Good summary, especially the last sentence sums it up.






  • I remember reading about Elite in a (paper) magazine, and I WANTED IT. Counted my pocket money. Drove my bike to a mainly photo related retailer (only one reachable for me, they also did PC games as a side job), and there it was, box art in the window! Went in, told em I wanted that, and - big disappointment - they had to order it. THEY HAD A DISPLAY OF THE BOX ART, BUT NO COPY OF THE REAL THING! I had to pay upfront, cash, and then had to ride the bike there, again, two times, within a fornight, cos there was no notification of arrival then. The joy, tension, reading through the manual, while it was installing… unbeatable. Spent most of my afternoons in game, doing my “homework”.
