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 […]
Netael Bandel Israel Hayom, Jan. 16, 2024 “… not only is there no basis for a decision establishing suspicion of genocide, but in practical terms, it actually undermines the UN Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide.

Vivian Yee and Farnaz Fassihi NY Times, Jan. 17, 2024 “But this week, Iran acted on its own and announced its actions, publicly framing the missile strikes as vengeance.” After hitting targets in neighboring Pakistan, Iraq and Syria with missiles, Iran talked tough on Wednesday, playing up — to friends and foes alike — not only its […]
Seth J. Frantzman Jerusalem Post, Jan. 17, 2024 “The Al-Ain report could reflect new serious information about the Houthis and their positioning of missiles and drones. It could also reflect the wider regional concerns in the Gulf about the Houthis choosing to escalate.” The Houthis may be repositioning some of their missiles and drones after […]
J.E. Dyer The Optimistic Conservative, Jan. 17, 2024 “The big information point — if validated in the upcoming days — is where the Houthi assets are being moved.” … To briefly introduce the topic, the political condition of Yemen – reduced as it often is to warring factions, with no central government in control – […]
Saeed Shah and Benoit Faucon WSJ, Jan. 16, 2024 “Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps took the rare step on Monday of launching strikes out of Iran into Syria, despite having its own military presence there.” Iran hit a jihadist group in Pakistan with a missile and drone strike Tuesday, according to Iranian state media, […]

Lucas Webber and Peter Smith Unherd, Jan. 15, 2024 “It wasn’t until October 7 that this Islamist impetus really burst into the open, with ISIS suddenly finding itself on fertile soil for cultivating new followers in the West.” While the public’s focus on non-state actor threats is shifting to military action against the Houthis, a […]
Ehud Yaari and Matthew Levitt The Washington Institute for Near East Policy, Dec. 21, 2023 “In the immediate aftermath of October 7, the scope and brutality of the attack triggered criticism from external leaders and sent many into damage-control mode. In public, they denied that Sinwar’s men had butchered women and children, blaming the Israel Defense […]
Joby Warrick and Souad Mekhennet Washington Post, Jan. 12, 2024 “While the key fundraisers have been active in some cases for decades, their tactics have been perfected in recent years as the groups learned to combine the vast reach of platforms such Facebook and X, formerly known as Twitter, with the emotional power of an […]
