Yaacov Lozowick is the state archivist of Israel. A scholar who moved to Israel from Europe, he is a true believer in the necessity of Jewish nationalism. Scott Roth and I once met him in West Jerusalem and had a polite conversation that became more adversarial when it was continued on email in the months after.

Yaacov has an active twitter account in which he trumpets Israel; and on August 4 he tweeted:

„Lesson of this war: The Jews will defend themselves even if it means killing children. Just like every warring nation in history.“
