Mark Dubowitz Tablet, Jan. 9, 2023 “Obama’s big Iran play was neither ‘values-driven’ nor purely pragmatic.” The eventual fall of the Islamic Republic of Iran will reveal the 2015 Iran nuclear agreement to have been one of the worst unforced strategic errors in the history of U.S. foreign policy. At home, the Islamic Republic is […]

Dov Lieber WSJ, July 28, 2023 “… right-wing governments that have been in power since the late 1970s have never been able to fully carry out their vision because the Supreme Court has repeatedly struck down major legislative priorities.” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s coalition scored a major victory this week when it passed the first part […]
Alex Traiman JNS, July 24, 2023 “… prior to the formation of the current government, several opposition leaders, including Yair Lapid, Avigdor Lieberman and Gideon Sa’ar, have all spoken out in favor of judicial reform.” Amid the largest and most well-funded protest movement in Israel’s history, the democratically elected governing coalition passed the first reform in […]
Shayndi Raice WSJ, July 26, 2023 “Legal scholars say petitioners would have to prove several things in order for the court to strike down the law. Opponents would have to prove that the law undermines the core values of Israel as a Jewish and democratic state. They could also try to prove that there were […]
Jeff Seidel Israel Hayom, July 28, 2023 “With a deep-rooted historical and emotional connection to Israel, should American Jews have a say in what happens in the Jewish state? Perhaps they should, given the implications of Israeli policy for Jews worldwide. However, since they don’t directly bear the consequences of these policies, maybe their involvement […]

Everett Piper Washington Times, July 23, 2023 “At this university, we will teach you to be selfless rather than self-centered. We are more interested in you practicing personal forgiveness than political revenge.” This past week, Gallup released a poll showing public confidence in American higher education is plummeting. A national survey conducted in June found that […]
Asaf Romirowsky Jerusalem Post, July 30, 2023 “… the AAA and MESA resolutions, for all their self-proclaimed morality, are the death cries of disciplines devoted to self-destruction.” In a widely predicted move, the American Anthropological Association (AAA) has now joined the Middle East Studies Association (MESA) in adopting a boycott of Israeli universities. It represents a […]
Max Samarov Algemeiner, July 19, 2023 “When Jews raised concerns and asked to be included as well, the districtresponded that, “Jewish Studies and Israeli Studies are not part of the Ethnic Studies discipline.” In June 2023, the Hayward Unified School District (HUSD) in Northern California signed a contract worth over $90,000, with a group called the Liberated […]
Frieda Vizel Tablet, July 17, 2023 “It is an irony of the current debate that liberals who believe in strong social safety nets, who would balk at the assertion that a person should be judged by their wealth or career attainment, and who once celebrated the maxim made famous by Hillary Clinton, ‘It takes a […]

Zvi Bar’el Haaretz, July 17, 2023 “Israeli sources leaked information about American intentions to sign a “mini-deal,” or a limited agreement, with Iran, to replace the full nuclear agreement. And lo, shortly after … comes Iran International, known for its cozy relations with several senior Israeli figures, who reports Malley’s suspension, allegedly for mishandling classified […]
J.E. Dyers The Optimistic Conservative, July 28, 2023 “The same pattern overlays nicely on the Biden administration’s move against Malley.” There’s an interesting tale of two official “disappearings” out there, one involving the U.S. and the other in China. I don’t intend to go in-depth on either one here, partly because doing so would cause […]
Hussein Aboubakr Mansour Emet, July 20, 2023 “Unlike what hot-headed and ill-tempered American conservative populists say, they do not hate America, and they do not work for America’s enemies, but they are merely ambivalent to what we think America represents.” It may seem odd that a single mid-level US government bureaucrat has collected a large […]
