Brendan O’Neill Spiked, Nov. 27, 2023 “That Varadkar failed to give leadership on this obscenity committed against a Jewish Irish citizen, that he failed to give voice to his own people’s horror at the racist degradation of a young Irish girl, is a black mark against his reputation and an indictment of the entire modern political style.” […]

Jonathan S. Tobin Israel Hayom, Nov. 23, 2023 “There can be no real debate about the hostage deal being good for Israel. It’s a terrible agreement from the viewpoint of its national security.” Israel’s government knew that it had no choice but to accept the deal it was offered in which some of the hostages […]
Melanie Phillips Substack, Nov. 24, 2023 “Hamas is an enemy of mankind that the world has never seen before. Its principal weapon of war is the general population — of Gaza, Israel and the West.” As if Israelis weren’t traumatised enough by the depraved Hamas pogrom on October 7, the hostage deal concluded this week […]
Gregg Carlstrom Unherd, Nov. 25, 2023 “The centrist members of Netanyahu’s war cabinet wanted to continue negotiating a smaller deal. So did David Barnea, the Mossad director, who represented Israel at the talks in Qatar. On the other side were Yoav Gallant, the defence minister, and the heads of the army and the Shin Bet security […]
Col (res.) Shai Shabtai BESA Center Perspectives Paper No. 2,233, Nov. 19, 2023 ‘The issue of captives and missing persons has become the Achilles’ heel of Israel’s national security. It makes us vulnerable in the eyes of our enemies, weakens our regional status in the eyes of potential allies, and is baffling to our international and regional […]

J.E. Dyer The Optimistic Conservation, Nov. 21, 2023 “It’s an in-your-face method of trying to widen the war. Increase the regional chaos; complicate the whole region’s stability situation, while presenting Israel with tough choices about deterrence, and – from the Iranian regime’s perspective – increasing regional resentment against the Gaza conflict as the source of […]
Matan Yanko-Avikasis and Liran Antebi INSS Insight No. 1789, Nov. 22, 2023 “… the launch of a ballistic missile by a non-state actor highlights the change in the proliferation of advanced technology and long-range, lethal weapons.” The Swords of Iron war has seen a variety of weapons used against Israel, including aerial weapons, such as: […]
Jonathan Fenton-Harvey The New Arab, Nov. 2023 “… the Houthis’ newfound ability to target ships in the Red Sea is a striking example of the blowback of Yemen’s war, and how the group’s threat to the US-led regional order has increased.” Yemen has captured global attention after the country’s Houthi rebels began launching ballistic missiles and drones at Israel in late October. […]
The Conversation, Nov. 1, 2023 “… there appears to be growing popular discontent in Arab countries over the perceived weak stance of their governments toward Israel. But due to the authoritarian nature of many of these regimes, public opinion has little influence on policy.” Yemen’s Houthi movement launched missiles and drones at Israel on Oct. 31, 2023 […]

Richard Kemp Telegraph, Nov. 20, 2023 “Many people don’t want to believe the Israelis; it seems they would rather believe Hamas.” Hamas uses hospitals and other protected places like schools and mosques for terrorist purposes. Since 2006, when the terror group took over the Gaza Strip, we have seen report after report showing just that. […]
Daniel Henninger WSJ, Nov. 15, 2023 “Hamas knew that the humanitarian-crisis narrative after the IDF chased them into Gaza’s teeming neighborhoods would isolate Israel politically. In that crude sense, the day of slaughter was a success. But even more cynical than their naive Western counterparts, Hamas always knew their isolate-Israel narrative had no practical solution. […]
Brendan O’Neill Spiked, Nov. 20, 2023 “They’re not only dismissing the discoveries of the past few days but also a truth that’s been known for years: that Hamas, unquestionably, has turned al-Shifa into a hellhole base for its sinister operations.” We need to talk about the pathological distrust of Israel. About the speed and relish with which […]
