Gorenberg has also written a nuanced post on the prospect of historian Michael Oren becoming Israel's ambassdor to Washington. Jeffrey Goldberg adds his assessment at the Atlantic:

He is not-so-much enamoured of the settlers. He was, years back, I think, but that was before he took part in the evacuation of the Gaza settlements. He was shocked by the behaviour of some of the settlers -- I remember him calling to tell me that some of the more fanatical settlers were calling the soldiers "Nazis." The settlers lost much of Michael's sympathy right then. So, for this, among other reasons, he is clear-eyed on issues related to the West Bank.
