Abstract

The subject box of a mid-March email from Jerusalemite Palestinian author and scholar read: “Simply Reflecting.”

Samia Khoury’s 16/March/2020 message was a concise and tellingly prescient homily on the pathetically worsening universal condition of humanity as well as the depraved banality to which Israel’s Jewish leaders have descended. The topics included the spread of Covid-19, especially in the occupied territories and Gaza, the reelection of an indicted, racist Israeli Prime Minister, and Donald Trump’s gift to Netanyahu in the form of a sham called the Deal of the Century.
