The WSJ article’s headline is “Israel Begins Pumping Seawater Into Hamas’s Gaza Tunnels” by Nancy A. Youssef, Carrie Keller-Lynn, Michael R. Gordon, Dov Lieber (12/13/23). Below is the link.
The plan to flood the tunnels to disrupt the network of Hamas had been in news media. Whoever and whatever Hamas is, they are human beings. The tactic should make anyone’s heart sink. Of crouse, Israel says it is not merely for killing enemies, but to cut their provisions in the tunnels. Biden is concerned about American hostages in the tunnels if any, seemingly more than lives of Palestinians being killed daily by airstrikes.

Bill Ackman’s Ruthless Quest to Oust College Presidents by Cara Lombards (WSJ; 12/12/23) analyzes Ackman’s rage and move against antisemitism on college campus.
