As Netanyahu evokes "super-Sparta," Israel may be repeating the mistakes that left both city-states devastated after decades of war. On the eve of the Peloponnesian War in 432 BC, the wise king of Sparta, Archidamus, was summoned to address a clash between the Corinthians and Athenians. Corinth, an ally of Sparta, warned that Athens' power was growing too strong. If Sparta didn’t act soon, the other Greek city-states would lose confidence in her, and her friends might desert. Archidamus rose to address his fellow Spartans and their allies. He told the assembled men that he had seen many wars, ...

A new ocean could soon be forming beneath us. Earth’s surface is a dynamic and ever-changing mosaic of tectonic plates, constantly shifting and evolving. These movements are so slow and gradual that it can be difficult to imagine the kind of changes they can lead to over millions of years.

This is part of the larger phenomenon of continental dr...
