In Chemi’s defense, “very worried Israeli” is how he describes himself in his bio. On the one hand, this level of anxiety is hard to take seriously. If I had the patience, I’d go through the feeds of the “very worried” crowd and screenshot all the times they were convinced we were about to die. I’d need to hit the microfiche archives, because it’s been more or less a nonstop drumbeat since the left wing op-ed pages started channeling Woody Allen sometime in the 1970s. On the other hand, my heart goes out to them. I really can’t imagine living my life in this constant anxiety. It must be genuinely awful.
