Josh Paul, who spent a decade in State's bureau overseeing arms sales, exclusively spoke with HuffPost after quitting over the U.S. approach to the Israel-Palestine conflict.
I’m not alone, extremely cautious optimism is fairly common with more old school liberals.
Historians like Stephen Kotkin and Yuval Noah Harari frequently take these kinds of positions, with Kotkin having been pretty active regarding Ukraine, and recently Harari having to take some really difficult, nuanced positions about a situation he, his family and friends are literally living.
