In case you missed it

Ed Blakely solved Gaza last week. Apparently the key is to know who in the audience is in favor of slaughtering civilians and who is not.

"Israel is using a lot of cards, a lot of chips," Blakely says. "If you're in the silk-stocking district in New York, you know you have a lot of Jews in the audience, but in the middle of Iowa, you may not know who's in the audience, and that could trickle back to hurt you. ... Certainly you wouldn't want to be siding with people who are slaughtering civilians."

So there.
