J.E. Dyer The Optimistic Conservative, Jan.27, 2025 “I’ve been expecting him to invoke the Abraham Accords in relation to the war in Gaza, because that’s his foundational commitment for U.S. policy in the Middle East.” There’s no question President Trump disappointed a whole lot of people and lost a lot of momentum with some supporters […]
Khaled Abu Toameh Gatestone, Jan. 27, 2025 “The Qataris do not want the PA in the Gaza Strip to rein in Hamas and other terrorist groups, or to prevent attacks against Israel. Instead, they want the PA to act as a front to maintain Hamas’s hold on power — as a cover for keeping Hamas […]
Park MacDougald and Adam Lehrer The Scroll, Jan. 24, 2025 “Iran will hopefully make a deal, and if they don’t make a deal, that’s okay too,” combined with Trump’s expressed wish that Israel not have to resort to a strike (i.e., leaving the option open), is at the very least preferable to the Obama-Biden version of Iran […]

The SS had left them behind when they hastily abandoned the camp for Germany […]
Jonathan S. Tobin JNS, Jan. 26, 2025 “… these commemorations are not assisting in educating the world about where tolerance of Jew-hatred leads.” In the 20 years since it was created by a vote in the U.N. General Assembly in 2005, International Holocaust Remembrance Day has become a staple of the world community’s calendar. It […]
Deborah Fineblum JNS, Jan. 22, 2025 “Survivors went about starting new lives with their bare hands.

Ruth R. Wisse WSJ, Jan. 23, 2025 “This war against the Jews isn’t like the last. While Nazism’s racial attack on alleged inferiors could never claim the moral high ground, the inversion that defines Zionism as racism mobilizes worldwide coalitions in institutions that support jihad as anticolonial justice.” Poland’s Deputy Foreign Minister Władysław Bartoszewski did […]

Shahram Sabzevari World Crunch, Jan. 23, 2025 “The Zangezur corridor is a symbol of close and fruitful collaborations between Turkey and Azerbaijan.” Discreet at first, Turkey is now open in its backing for Syria’s new ruler, Ahmad al-Sharaa, the Islamist rebel whose forces toppled the Iran-backed Bashar al-Assad. Indeed, Assad’s fall is affecting ties between the Islamic […]
