Adding my voice to those urging @JeffBezos not to fire the @washingtonpost's foreign correspondents. I worked for the Post for 18 years. I am now a foreign correspondent at @nytimes. The world needs more great writers and reporters like those at the Post right now, not fewer.

The settlers wouldn’t talk to us. But we did get responses from the Israeli military, which generally said their actions were designed to reduce tensions and increase security. The Palestinians we talked to don’t see it that way.

I hope our efforts help to provide a real understanding of what has been going on in the West Bank while the world’s attention was (rightly) focused on Gaza.

I’ve emailed the support folks at @Apt2B but haven’t heard back. Not sure how exactly to get rid of it. (The bulk trash pickup at my condo is not for another couple of months.)

Jon and I were neighbors for several years, when Hersh was just a toddler. I desperately hope that he, and all the missing or taken, are reunited soon.

On this day each year I am always proud of my great uncle, Joachim Prinz, who spoke on the Washington Mall immediately before the Rev. Martin Luther King at the March on Washington. His message: "the most tragic problem is silence."
