Here’s how you know the lobby is out of touch

New Yorker editor David Remnick, speaking to Yediot Ahronot:

The US administration is trying out of good will to get a peace process moving and in return Israel lays out conditions like the release Jonathan Pollard. Sorry, it can’t go on this way. The  Jewish community is not just a nice breakfast at the Regency.

Benjamin Wallace-Wells reporting in New York Magazine:

When I met Peretz ten weeks later [after the Harvard protest], he still seemed on edge. The bigotry charge was what lingered. “I mean, it hurts,” he said. We were in the dining room of the Loews Regency Hotel in midtown Manhattan, where the waiters greet him as “Dr. Peretz.”
