For anybody interested, Judith Butler’s review of Weiss’s book is one of the most brutal critiques of Weiss I have ever read:

I literally burst into tears watching CBS Sunday Morning last week (10/5). They were covering the Palestinians in Gaza. They started with highlighting a man and his family begging for anyone who would listen to see them as PEOPLE that needed help NOW. “We aren’t HAMAS! Is SHE Hamas? Is HE hamas?” he insisted, gutturally, while pointing at his children in their makeshift tent. After that they made sure to show a perfect clip of a nearly pristine apartment building, surrounded by rubble, get flattened by an Israeli missile. As the missile makes impact, you see a Palestinian man walking along the street raising his arms in exasperation. At that point, I burst into tears. I can’t take these callous monsters anymore.
John Oliver is the UK’s best export since Barbour jackets.
