Strength Through Gentleness (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I’ve had an issue with my shoulder for over a year and I’ve been treating it with physiotherapy. It worked well for a while - massaging the shoulder, heat on the shoulder, electricity and shockwaves and ultrasound to the shoulder. In between sessions, exercises for the shoulder at home. At first, there was definitely an improvement, but ultimately, the shoulder is not getting any better.So last week I went to my acupuncturist.

That number alone could be an entire article, but there’s a bigger story behind it: it isn’t moving. In August last year, it was the same. So we’re not looking at a spike. We’re looking at a settled view, and the hyper focus on each new poll stops us seeing the sad reality: Americans no longer think about Israelis the way they used to. Which means we need to
