    Please spare a thought for the 100 people at @NPR, 10% of the workforce, being laid off today, Thurs and Fri due to a $30 million advertising shortfall. The people I've met at NPR are passionate, sharp and warm. We all stand on each other's shoulders.

    Among those I met at Israel’s Soroka hospital was an old professor of mine from #Brandeis University, Ilan Troen. His daughter and her husband were killed in their home by Gaza gunmen. He says they flung themselves over their teenage son, saving him.

    What I saw today in Syria: Grandpa Issam kissed his grandson goodbye. The little one has the papers to escape the fighting - and cross into Iraq. “Separation has killed the people. It has destroyed a generation,” Issam says through through tears. On @NPR: npr.org/2019/10/14/770…

    Quite a packed flight from Tel Aviv to Abu Dhabi. Jared Kushner and other US and Israeli officials seen several times on plane without face masks. I asked Kushner: where are your masks? Kushner: “we have our masks.” Took folded mask out of his pocket and put it back in pocket.
