Theodore Dalrymple City Journal, Oct. 12, 2023 “… the barbarians are within the gates.” The sight of thousands of young people in London celebrating the massacres that Hamas committed in Israel unsurprisingly made many people’s blood run cold. The demonstrators rejoiced not despite the brutality of what was done but because of it. What […]

Jordan Peterson The Telegraph, Oct. 16, 2023 “This warped psychological perspective has an appeal to groups larger than just the core individuals, and in various surreal guises. How else are you to explain the staggeringly incomprehensible spectacle of, for example, ‘Queers for Palestine’ – perhaps the most egregious example of the union of the desire by ‘progressives’ […]
Simon Cottee UnHerd, Oct. 18, 2023 “… these Hamas murderers can and did think. And they had no doubt spent a lot of time wolfishly fantasising about how they would inflict maximum degradation on Jews. And they would have been able to entertain these demonic thoughts because they were raised in a culture that is […]
Boaz Munro Tablet, Oct. 19, 2023 “And I fell apart. For a few days, I felt like the country was sliding inexorably toward the unthinkable fate of 1940s Germany. After all, I thought, if people will shrug off beatings and swastikas, they’ll shrug off stabbings and shootings. And then they’ll shrug off pogroms—at least if […]

Tom McTague UnHerd, Oct. 20, 2023 “At the heart of all these claims lies the same grim conclusion: that Israel itself is illegitimate, a settler state which should be wiped off the map as if it were some kind of Levantine Rhodesia.” “Great wars in history eventually became great wars about history,” wrote the […]

Salem Alketbi Israel Hayom, Oct. 18, 2023 “The Iranian regime will not intervene directly because it knows that its creation and existence were essentially with Western and American support.” The Middle East has recently witnessed tragic and intense events marked by massive bloodshed, widening the scope of the conflict between Israel and terrorism. […]
Dr. Eado Hecht BESA Center Perspectives Paper No. 2,215, Oct. 19, 2023 “even if we employ overwhelming power above ground, with virtually no restrictions because the civilians are not there to be hurt (though some probably will be, either because Hamas is trying to convince or compel them to stay or because some people always […]
Kim Ghattas The Atlantic, Oct. 18, 2023 “The unexpectedly high Israeli death toll may be one reason Nasrallah has kept silent—he is hedging, watching to see when and how far the Israeli army will go into Gaza, and whether Hamas will face an existential threat that requires Hezbollah’s response.” Villagers in southern Lebanon have […]

Editorial Jerusalem Post, Oct. 18, 2023 “Israel will never ask others to fight its battles; it can and will defend itself, by itself. The depth of our partnership and shared destiny also obliges us to recognize each nation’s capacity to make its own decisions.” Mr. President, when the wheels of Air Force One touch […]

Brendan O’Neill Spiked, Oct. 18, 2023 “… there is something else we need to investigate, too – the supine willingness of our own liberal elites to parrot the Hamas line that this was definitely an Israeli strike and proof of Israel’s evil. It is not enough to investigate where the missile came from – we […]
Tony Badran Tablet, Oct. 18, 2023 “It’s hard to argue with the notion that funding the security arm of an Iranian-backed pseudo-state run by a terror army that has murdered hundreds of Americans and targets America’s only useful military ally in the region is the furthest thing from a wise or sane investment.” […]
Lt. Col. (res.) Dr. Shaul Bartal BESA Center Perspectives Paper No. 2,221, Oct. 17, 2023 “Hamas believes, like al-Qaeda, that the purpose of the Islamic caliphate is to fight the infidels and interlopers, led by the Jews. They believe this to be a continuous jihad that is not limited in time.” On May 2, 2011, […]
