Palestinians transport people who were killed or injured while trying to get humanitarian aid, into the Red Cross field hospital in the Mawasi area of Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip on Sunday. Gaza’s civil defence agency said Israeli forces opened fire on Sunday on a crowd of Palestinians waiting to collect humanitarian aid, providing a preliminary toll of at least 44 people killed.

You want to say something that isn’t blindingly obvious. You want to talk about something people care about. If possible you want to spin a clever line or two. What you don’t want to do, generally speaking, is rub people’s faces in things they’d rather not look at.

So for people like me in the opinionating line, the temptation always is to reach for the latest shiny object. What about that new Trump outrage or absurdity? What about this weird Jeffrey Epstein business — is MAGA going to eat itself alive? Tell me more!
