Matti Steinberg INSS, Feb. 22, 2023 “The strongest evidence for this is that while one generation has succeeded another, Palestinian national identity has not faltered.” The relationship between an idea and its embodiment in an institution (which later becomes the establishment) is coiled and multi-dimensional. This generalization also applies to the subject at hand – […]

Hussein Aboubakr Mansour Emet, Feb. 2, 2023 “This form of humanistic bigotry against the Palestinians came to justify their worst inclination and disregard the lives of Israeli Jews, ending up being one of the most dehumanizing positions towards Israelis and Palestinians.” The recent wave of Palestinian terror attacks, already described in the generic “cycle […]
Robert Malley Jewish Currents, Feb. 4, 2021 “Like any self-respecting Third Worldist, he had to care about Africa, Asia, and Latin America. But his first and true love was Arab, his understanding of that region was the most profound, his hopes as well as his disappointments greatest there, too.” THE ONE THING we know for […]
Oren Kessler Military History Now, Feb. 19, 2023 “The revolt to end Zionism had instead crushed the Arabs themselves, leaving them crippled in facing the Jews’ own drive for statehood a decade on.

Katsuji Nakazawa Nikkei Asia, Mar. 9, 2023 “Tian (Heaven)” is a key concept in Eastern philosophy.

John Hillen National Review, Feb. 16, 2023 “… the best way to peacefully manage our relationship with an increasingly aggressive China is to do so from a position of renewed American strength on multiple fronts — strengths that will deter China’s militarism, deny China the economic and technological leverage over the U.S. that it intends to […]
Derek Scissors National Review, Feb. 16, 2023 “The common idea that the yuan is challenging the dollar is silly.” It’s widely accepted that the U.S. should compete economically with China, even though it sometimes still feels as if only one side is competing. What’s not settled is how to win or who is likely to do […]
Niharika Mandhana WSJ, Mar. 11, 2023 “They have such a reach now into the South China Sea with sea power and air power.” In early February, a Philippine coast guard vessel approached a small outpost in the South China Sea when it was hit by green laser beams that temporarily blinded its crew.

Yaacov Lappin JNS, Mar. 13, 2023 “… the decision does not have practical implications for Israel—because if Saudi Arabia wants to normalize relations with Israel, it will do so.” The March 10 announcement by Saudi Arabia and Iran regarding their re-establishment of diplomatic relations after a seven-year severance jolted not only the Middle East but […]
Shayndi Raice and Aaron Boxerman WSJ, Mar. 12, 2023 “The less influence the U.S. has in the region, the worse it is for Israel.” Saudi Arabia’s surprise agreement to renew diplomatic relations with Iran marks a significant blow to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s key foreign-policy goal: creating a regional alliance built around isolating Iran. Mr. Netanyahu has […]
Vivian Nereim NY Times, Mar. 10, 2023 “Beijing has adopted a smart approach using its strategic partnership diplomacy, building diplomatic capital on both sides of the Gulf. Unlike the United States, which balances one side against the other, and is therefore limited in its diplomatic capacity.” After years of open hostility and proxy conflicts […]
Seth J. Frantzman Jerusalem Post, Mar. 11, 2023 “If Iran doesn’t shift its behavior and if there is no deal in Yemen or Lebanon to reduce tensions then the agreement will appear hollow, or it will appear that it is only focusing on one “file” and not looking at the broader region.” Iran and […]
