Camille Lons European Council on Foreign Relations, Nov. 3, 2023 “The current global polarisation around the Israel-Palestine issue plays into Chinese and Russian narratives of a division between the West and the global south. Engaging with China on the current crisis would help defuse this false dichotomy on which Beijing is capitalising.” The […]

Eisa Moradi Afrapoli and Majid Dashtgard Stimson, Nov. 14, 2023 “China lacks a historic role in the creation of Israel and possesses neither a powerful domestic political lobby in support of the Jewish state nor a military or security commitment to ensure Israel’s survival.” The Middle East and the world at large were shocked by […]
Kiran Sharma Nikkei Asia, Nov. 4, 2023 “While New Delhi maintains ties with the Palestinian Authority, he said its policy was becoming “more publicly balanced, and even somewhat supportive of Israel on the issue of terrorism, where there are converging concerns.”” India’s response to the war in the Middle East is proving contentious at […]

Terry Glavin National Post, Nov. 22, 2023 “… there’s something else in the Irish psyche that’s impolite to mention in the comfy Dublin pubs and bistros of Portobello, Ranelagh and Rathmines. Not a few of Ireland’s gallant and celebrated champions of the underdog, its heroes of Irish freedom, were vulgar antisemites and Nazi collaborators.” There’s […]
englEmilie Botbol JNS, Nov. 7, 2023 “There is clearly reason for concern. Seeing people celebrating the massacre in London neighborhoods, calling for ‘jihad’ or ‘intifada’ at demonstrations and viciously tearing down posters of the hostages kidnapped by Hamas is sickening.” In a speech before the British Parliament on Tuesday, King Charles vowed that Britain would address “the […]
Etan Smallman Unherd, Nov. 9, 2023 “If the initial concerns of Jewish students — busily covering their skullcaps and Jewish-themed tattoos — were brushed off, it soon became clear that, if anything, they had underestimated the anti-Israeli atmosphere on campuses.” In my first year at university, in 2005, I vividly recall coming across a Guardian article by […]
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 […]
