Vivian Bercovici Jewish Chronicle, May 1, 2025 “Mark Carney’s leadership means Canadian Jews are unlikely to be able to count on the police to enforce criminal, civil, or constitutional law in ways that protect their rights, freedoms, or safety.” Since the results of the Canadian federal election were confirmed early Tuesday morning, my phone and […]

Ben Cohen JNS, Apr. 25, 2025 “Israel’s very existence, and not its policies, continues to be the primary complaint of its adversaries.” As we mark the 80th anniversary of the Allied victory over Nazi Germany and the liberation of the concentration camps, that terrible chapter of history no longer seems so distant. While there are […]
David Swindle Algemeiner, May 5, 2025 “To explain for the drop in right-wing incidents, the report’s authors suggested that “amid widespread and intensive media coverage of the Israel-Hamas war and related protests, political activity, and antisemitism – typical of far-left and Islamist circles – relatively less coverage is dedicated to far-right antisemitic incidents.”” Global antisemitism […]
Shany Mor Jewish Chronicle, Apr. 24, 2025 “Britain is just ten or so years ahead of the US. And the long march of geostrategic antisemitism’s institutional capture in the US is only about a decade behind Britain’s.” This month marks five years since Jeremy Corbyn stepped down as leader of the Labour Party, and a […]

Sudarsan Raghavan and Suha Ma’ayeh WSJ, May 2, 2025 “The government is not welcome here.” Deadly clashes this week in southern Syria, home to the Druze ethnic group, are putting new pressure on the nascent government as it tries to prevent the country from fragmenting along sectarian lines. Two days of fighting were set off […]
Ya Libnan Yalibnan, May 5, 2025 “Most of the world’s 1.2 million Druze live in Syria, Lebanon, Israel, and Jordan, while diaspora communities in the Americas and Australia remain closely linked to their ancestral homelands through enduring transnational ties.” Syria’s Druze community is facing one of the most violent internal eruptions in years, with over 40 […]
Bradley Martin Newsweek, Mar. 7, 2025 “Is it any wonder why Druze in Syria are increasingly looking to Israel for sanctuary?” There is no reason to believe that the situation of Druze and other minorities will improve following the ouster of Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad. During a rare interview with Al Jazeera in 2015, militant leader of the jihadist Al-Nusra […]
Chad Merlin Jerusalem Post, Mar. 16, 2025 “After years in which these visits were forbidden by the former regime, things were changing.” A delegation of more than 150 Druze dignitaries from Syria visited holy sites in Israel over the weekend. It was the first time since 1974 that such a delegation crossed the border. They came from […]

AlJazeera, May 4, 2025 “Both the Yemeni government and the Southern Transitional Council have competitively sought to present themselves as the solution to the US’s need for a partner on the ground against the Houthis in Yemen.” Anti-Houthi factions in Yemen could be vying for US support to attack the movement’s territory, analysts and experts […]
Benoit Faucon, Nancy A. Yousef and Saleh al-Batati WSJ, Apr. 14, 2025 “A major ground offensive risks reigniting a Yemeni civil war that has been dormant for years and that spurred a humanitarian crisis when a Saudi-Emirati coalition supported local ground forces with a bombing campaign.” Yemeni militias are planning a ground offensive against the […]
Gabriel Colodro/The Media Line Jerusalem Post, May 4, 2025 “Every Patriot missile or naval interceptor costs millions. Every drone they launch might cost a few thousand. This is not sustainable.” When a $20,000 missile fired by Yemen’s Houthi rebels can bring down a US Reaper drone worth over $30 million, the cost of war takes on a […]
Seth J. Frantzman Jerusalem Post, May 4, 2025 “The Houthis are a hard nut to crack. Air power is likely not enough to stop them. Can their supply lines be cut off instead? Can their rocket storage facilities be found? Possibly.” The Houthis launched a missile at central Israel on Sunday that caused an explosion near Ben-Gurion […]
