Israel's champions are likely to keep answering critics in ways that strengthen the criticisms.

Their words

In the meantime, Israel’s champions are likely to keep answering its critics in ways that strengthen the very criticisms they are trying to quash.

Loss aversion among Israel's defenders is part of why Israel's public standing keeps declining.

Their words

This is loss aversion in action, and it’s part of the reason that Israel’s public standing keeps declining.

Faced with losing something they took for granted, people become more aggressive, not more prudent.

Their words

But loss aversion suggests that when faced with the loss of something people have taken for granted, they don’t become more prudent. They become more aggressive.

Pro-Israel leaders are doubling down instead of making concessions to save Israel's reputation.

America

Their words

Were pro-Israel leaders savvy, they would greet the turn in American opinion with tactical concessions aimed at salvaging Israel’s reputation. Instead, they’re doubling down.

The Fight is for Democracy

Their words

The Fight is for Democracy really captures a spirit that existed in the wake of 9/11 amongst the species known as liberal hawks.

Dangerous Nation

Their words

Dangerous Nation is Kagan’s history of American foreign policy in the 19th century – it’s the first half of a two-part history of American foreign policy that he is writing.

Rise of the Vulcans

Their words

Rise of the Vulcans does a good job of showing that the trajectory for many of the figures who influenced Bush foreign policy was really an arc – in some ways similar to the arc that I try to trace in The Icarus Syndrome – that begins in the 1970s, at a time when American power is inhibited and the presidency is weak.

What is a korrent?

A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at korrents.com.

Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said. The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who else holds it.

Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post

Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.

The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter, especially about tone.

Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked article and a belief on korrents.com are left in their original language.
