Hackney's branch of the Jewish ex-servicemen's association waited on Sunday until the Green councillors had left the war memorial — their party calls Zionists racists now — and then laid its Star of David poppies on its own. [My great-grandfather Yaakov, a Lithuanian Jew, served in the British forces in the First World War.] It's Armistice Day, and the Iran war still hasn't had one. Signing one would take an America that thinks it's already won, an Israel between governments, and a regime that says there aren't even any talks.

Iran has never needed the sea to get at the people it wants to hurt, and the countries on its list keep finding that out one courtroom at a time. At home, every road to a government still runs through the draft. The work that doesn't need a government is going ahead, on the farms in Judea and Samaria and along the Jordan.
