Rachel O’Donoghue Algemeiner, July 21, 2025 “Bartov’s case, in short, relies on selective quoting and distortion.” “I’m a genocide scholar,” proclaims the headline of Omer Bartov’s recent guest essay in The New York Times. And therefore, he assures us, “I know it when I see it.” Except this isn’t the first time that Bartov, a […]

Editorial Israel Academia Monitor, May 3, 2025 “By saying “pogrom,” one attributes to Hamas, and by extension to all other Palestinian organisations, or even Palestinians in general, an unrelenting antisemitism characterised by a vicious, irrational and murderous predilection to violence, whose only goal is to kill Jews.”” A new report on the conference at […]
Daniel Ben Ami Radicalism of Fools, Jan. 18, 2025 “Israel certainly defines itself as a Jewish state but it has a unique character as many of its inhabitants fled anti-Semitic persecution around the world. Imposing a label as a term of abuse means failing to grapple with its specific circumstances.” Omer Bartov’s criticisms of […]

Moshe Phillips JNS, July 21, 2025 It’s no secret that, over the decades, the editors of The New York Times’ opinion pages have earned every ounce of criticism leveled at them by supporters of Israel—and yet they persist in finding the most extreme writers to showcase. A column published on July 15 may go down as […]
Seth Eisenberg Times of Israel, July 15, 2025 “The IDF is still governed by rules of engagement, subject to international oversight, and (as Israel has shown repeatedly) is willing to investigate itself — something almost no other military in the region does.” In his New York Times opinion piece, “I’m a Genocide Scholar. I Know It […]

John Spencer@SpencerGuard X, July 19, 2025 “The same institutions and voices that claim to champion human rights have gone quiet.” “During the Holocaust, when you were being slaughtered, you, the Jews, cried for help and no one came. Today we, the Druze, are being slaughtered and are calling for the help of Israel.” The […]
Canaan Lidor National Post, July 20, 2025 “The strikes were out of character for Israel, which very rarely uses military force in defence of non-citizens. Some find the strikes puzzling.” As millions of Israelis resumed routines and activities interrupted by the war with Iran, life ground to a halt last week in the Druze […]
Herb Keinon Jerusalem Post, July 20, 2025 “Washington, to put it mildly, is not pleased with Israel’s recent actions in Syria. While Jerusalem may have seen the strikes as an act of defense and moral clarity, the Trump administration saw something else: unnecessary interference.” Israel has carried out hundreds of strikes in Syria over […]
‘ Lior Ben Ari Ynet News, July 16, 2025 “Israel is committed to preventing harm to Druze in Syria, due to the deep bond of brotherhood with our Druze citizens in Israel and their historical and family ties with the Druze in Syria. We are acting to stop the Syrian regime from harming them and […]

Bilal Y. Saab and Darren D. White War on the Rocks, July 16, 2025 “The conflict reinforced the idea that no nation, however capable, can operate alone in a multi-domain war.” The outbreak of direct hostilities between Israel and Iran in June represents one of the most significant geopolitical escalations in the Middle East in recent […]

Zvi Smit and Benoit Faucon WSJ, July 15, 2025 “The key for any air-defense system is less that you build a perfect system with any one layer and more the cumulative effect.” Israel’s recent war with Iran served as a cautionary tale for countries with sophisticated missile defenses and those that seek to have them. Over 12 […]
