In 1907, Mark Twain famously popularized the sentence that he attributed to Benjamin Disraeli: “There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics.” In 2024, it may be time to update this expression to, “There are four kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, statistics, and Washington Post articles about the State of Israel.” Just as statistics can be both accurate and completely misleading at the same time, The Washington Post, like many media outlets throughout the world, often...

Our daughter Meira is named after my grandfather, Meyer Solomont, of blessed memory - my Zayde. He died during Pesach in 1999; she was born just after Sukkot, six months later.
