Robert Sarner Times of Israel, Jan. 21, 2024 “If some Jews view the police ban on the anti-Israel demonstrations in Armour Heights as a victory of sorts for their community, many, if not most, remain on edge due to the level of antisemitism, both in number and severity, never seen before in Canada and which […]

Tal Fortgang WSJ, Jan. 10, 2024 “If the costs of continuing to support Israel are too high, they figure, Americans will start lobbying their elected officials to capitulate to terrorists at home and abroad.” The anti-Israel demonstrators who have blocked traffic in major cities across the country know that their victims are decent people. […]

Seth Mandel Commentary Magazine, Jan. 19, 2024 “The Hamas attacks—and the possibility of war in the north, with Iran’s Hezbollah thugs—means there is absolutely no mechanism whatsoever for working toward Palestinian statehood until the situation in both places is stabilized.” Benjamin Netanyahu’s wartime unity government is in a precarious place largely because of the prime […]
Yanir Cozen Jerusalem Post, Jan. 19, 2024 “We need to stop lying to ourselves. We must be courageous and aim for an acceptable deal that will bring all of the hostages’ home. Time is running out, and each passing day is putting their lives in further jeopardy. We cannot stick blindly to the same strategy […]
David Isaac JNS, Jan. 22, 2024 “It is no secret that the Israeli government is under heavy international pressure that may divert us from the path of decisive victory. This could be due to mismanagement of civil and humanitarian aspects, or as a result of a loose grip on the territory that may allow Hamas to […]

David Wurmser Center for Security Policy, Jan. 22, 2024 “The current leader of that party, Benjamin “Benny” Gantz, probably wants to stay in the unity coalition, but the U.S. and its most comfortable allies on Israel’s left side of the political spectrum see Gadi Eisenkot, who is Gantz’ deputy in the Blue-White Party, as the structure […]
Caroline B. Glick World Israel News, Jan. 19, 2024 “Blinken insists that Israel cannot win a military victory in Gaza. As Mitchell put it, “Blinken told Netanyahu that ultimately there is no military solution to Hamas … and that the Israeli leader needs to recognize that or history will repeat itself and violence will continue.” […]
Herb Keinon Jerusalem Post, Jan. 21, 2024 “… for the vast majority of Israelis right now, talking about a two-state solution – while the hostages are still being held, while Israel is fighting on various fronts, and while Palestinian polls are giving Hamas a staggering amount of support in the West Bank – is just […]
P. David Hornik Times of Israel, Jan. 22, 2024 “If you ask an average Israeli now about his or her mental state, nobody in his right mind is willing now to think about what will be the solution of the peace agreements, because everybody wants to know: Can we be promised real safety in the […]

Bret Stephens NY Times, Jan. 16, 2024 “If Israel were trying to commit genocide, it wouldn’t be putting its soldiers at risk or allowing humanitarian relief to arrive from Egypt or withdrawing many of its forces from Gaza. It would simply be killing Palestinians everywhere, in vastly greater numbers, as Germans killed Jews or Hutus […]
Yehudah Mirsky Unherd, Jan. 17, 2024 “Hypocrisy is at work here, of course, but that is almost trivially beside the point. Genocide is more than a justifiably hideous characterisation: as a legal category, as rhetoric and policy framing, it is a doomsday weapon of epic proportions. It is, in its heightening ignominy to the nth […]
Roi Yanovsky Ynet News, Jan. 15, 2024 “Military infrastructure can be found in every single neighborhood we were in. Weapons, tunnels, explosive charges and launchpads are all conveniently located inside residential buildings, some of which are equipped with holes in the walls so the transition between the various structures is seamless.” After 100 days in […]
