Eric Kaufmann Unherd, Feb. 10, 2025 “Ultimately, one starts to wonder what sort of intervention will tame higher education’s rampant progressivism.” Just as DEI is being scaled back in American higher education, the UK is doubling down on it, much to the peril of academic freedom. After a lengthy consultation period, conveniently timed to report after the […]

Brendan O’Neill Spiked, Jan. 27, 2025 “Just two weeks after the pogrom, the Guardian published a piece denouncing Israel for ‘weaponising the Holocaust’ in its response to Hamas’s assault.” To mark Holocaust Memorial Day, we are publishing this chapter from Brendan O’Neill’s book, After the Pogrom: 7 October, Israel and the Crisis of Civilisation. One of […]
Jane Prinsley The Jewish Chronicle, Feb. 5, 2025 “Most people won’t be antisemitic to my face, but post anti-Israel or pro-Palestine posts on their [social media] story. Often I am the only Jew they have ever met. It’s hard because I can’t tell if they actually believe in what they post or if […]

Dr. Dan Diker and Yoni Ben Menachem Jerusalem Center for Security and Foreign Affairs, Feb. 10, 2025 “It is more than reasonable to assess that the president and the prime minister’s coordination on stage two will vindicate Netanyahu’s public promise that he reiterated at the presidential summit, fulfilling the government’s original goals: removing Hamas from […]

Melanie Phillips Substack, Feb. 10, 2025 “… the entire Gaza Strip was turned into a launching pad for genocide with an underground infrastructure composed of hundreds of miles of tunnels to create a parallel world devoted entirely to the mass murder of Jews. If there were any “ordinary Gaza civilians” who objected, they kept a […]
Seth J. Frantzman Jerusalem Post, Feb. 10, 2025 “Hamas is upping its rhetoric. It expects to get some kind of concession, but it may have overplayed its hand.” Hamas has been wrestling with what to do in the next stage of the deal, even as it claimed late Monday night that it won’t even fulfill the first stage of […]
Adam Kredo Free Beacon, Feb. 10, 2025 “Power’s USAID accused Israel of deliberately blocking Gazan aid deliveries, which Hamas is known to steal for its own use and for black market sales that fund its terror activities. USAID staffers went as far as to urge the Biden State Department to end military aid to Israel.” As the […]

Jonathan S. Tobin JNS, Feb. 9, 2025 “Trump can do as he appeared to intimate this past week in his meetings with Netanyahu—stating that Israel had the backing of the United States to do whatever is necessary to finally eradicate Hamas and ensure that it will never again hold power in Gaza.” It’s been more […]
A Paradigm Shift for the Middle East Elliot Abrams Foreign Affairs, Feb. 7, 2025 “Trump has always favored a negotiated solution to the U.S.-Iranian standoff and still does; the objective of his “maximum pressure” campaign in 2019–20 was not regime change but a new and comprehensive deal to replace the flawed one that President Barack […]
Lahav Harkov Jewish Insider, Feb. 6, 2025 “… if there are a few small fish with problematic views for Israel, we can deal with it. All the senior people support Israel very much. Yesterday, at the Department of Defense, we heard very warm and supportive things from Hegseth. That guy [DiMino] sat in the room and heard […]
Michael Oren Clarity with Michael Oren, Feb. 9, 2025 “For Trump today, the core problem in the Middle East is not the absence of a fantasized state for the Palestinians, but the presence of a Palestinian population condemned to pursue conflict, both by their socioeconomic circumstances and by their addiction to a victimhood narrative.” A […]

J.E. Dyer The Optimistic Conservative, Feb. 6, 2025 “I emphatically don’t think he is writing guarantees for Israel’s behavior. The guarantee he’s writing is that Israel’s stake in the question is under our protection. No one’s going to hijack the disposition of Gaza out from under Israel.” This article is obviously a follow-up to the press […]
