In its place, Dershowitz suggested a massive aid package, “in effect a mini-Marshall Plan.” Dershowitz also advocated Israel’s controversial security fence, which he claimed is an effective barrier against terrorism, as well as a valuable bargaining tool. He argued that, as the de facto boundary between the two states, the fence encourages the Palestinian leadership to come to the negotiating table to seek a better solution. However, he said that such a solution should be less generous than the concessions offered at Camp David, in order...

The track suffers from both songwriters’ characteristic excesses: Malkmus’ directionless guitar...

Absolutely not,” he said. “It’s a tool, a red flag to police.” Murphy, on the other hand, said that he thought that his proposal could actually help to reduce underage drinking, since it means that the purchaser of the keg is more overtly responsible for its use. “Liquor stores are fine with...
