David Remnick profiled Naftali Bennett when he was a rising star in Israeli politics. Now, as Prime Minister, Bennett leads a coalition government that includes leftists and an Arab-Israeli party, but nothing seems likely to shake Bennett’s hard line on the Palestinian question. Plus, a look at A. J. Smitherman, who founded one of the country’s first Black-owned dailies, in Tulsa’s Greenwood district. Smitherman addressed his eloquence and his ire at civic nuisances and at the gravest injustices of American life. He documented Greenwood at its height, in the years before the Tulsa Massacre, and he tried to prevent its destruction.
