Becket Adams National Review, June 8, 2025 “With this worldview baked into so many reporters’ brains, it’s not surprising that there’s a readiness to publish even the most outrageous claims about the war, regardless of how absurd or lacking in evidentiary support they are.” If you believed the recent claims about starving babies in Gaza […]
Zach Goldberg Tablet, June 5, 2025 “If Israel’s war in Gaza qualifies as genocide, it would constitute a striking historical outlier.” Concept creep describes the phenomenon in which morally potent terms expand beyond their original definitions into ever broader applications.

Omar Abdel-Baqui and Adam Chamseddine WSJ, May 28, 2025 “We do see a lot of areas where the Lebanese army is way more effective than expected.” Lebanon’s army has largely disarmed Hezbollah in its southern strongholds—in part with the help of Israeli intelligence—as the country’s new government moves to enforce a cease-fire that halted […]

Elliot Abrams National Review, June 2, 2025 “So the picture seems clear: The Trump administration says no bomb and no enrichment, and Iran keeps enriching and saying it will never stop fully.” While the negotiations between the Trump administration and Iran are opaque, there are enough leaks and on-the-record comments to see where it’s all likely […]
Khaled Abu Toameh JNS, June 3, 2025 “As Trump was voicing optimism regarding the prospects of reaching a nuclear deal with the Iranian regime, Ali Akbar Velayati, senior adviser to Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, received a delegation of Hamas and PIJ officials in Tehran and discussed with them “the latest developments in the region, especially […]
