Ran Baratz Mosaic Magazine, Jan. 6, 2025 “If the cold war had a deleterious effect on military thinking, the effect of the post-cold-war era was even worse.” The October 7 attack from Gaza was not supposed to have been possible. Israelis were continuously assured by the security establishment and political leaders that Hamas was “deterred,” […]
Michael Horowitz and Joshua Schwartz War on the Rocks, Dec. 18, 2024 “… precise weaponry is now much more widely available to weak powers than it was in the past, and the low cost of many of these systems enables actors to deploy precision technology at scale.” From strikes by uncrewed aerial systems launching precision […]
Victor Davis Hanson Toronto Sun, Jan. 10, 2025 “But 2025 is certainly not 2017 or even 2020.

Ambassador (ret.) Yoram Ettinger The Ettinger Report, Jan. 7, 2025 “This [Islamic] ideology is triumphalist, totalitarian and apocalyptic.

Russ Roberts Listen to the Sirens, Dec. 30, 2024 “The essential and also the most radical claim of settler colonialism is that settler colonialism is a structure, not an event.” One of the stranger and more disturbing aspects of the world since October 7, 2023 is the ongoing and increased support for the Palestinians in […]
Shlomo Levin Times of Israel, Dec. 29, 2024 “International law is new, untested, and prone to suffering unintended consequences from rules whose implications have not been thoroughly considered and are not well thought out.” Many of us are somewhere between perplexed and outraged by the decision of the International Criminal Court (ICC) to issue arrest […]
