Rabbi Prof. Dov Fischer Israel National News, Nov. 2, 2022 “Itamar Ben-Gvir is a perfectly worthy Knesset member, and he is as qualified to be a cabinet minister as is any other party head or co-head.” I previously have published here my strong support for Itamar Ben-Gvir (and Bezalel Smotrich and their Religious Zionism party).

Alex Traiman JNS, Nov. 2, 2022 “Having 100 percent of the cabinet ministries headed by members of Israel’s right-wing will produce an unprecedented era in the state’s history.” Apparently in Israel, the fifth time is the charm. After repeated attempts by the opposition, by defectors from his own right-wing bloc, by the prosecution […]

David Isaac JNS, Oct. 30, 2022 “… the key to this election is the turnout—who is voting and from which areas. Knowing where people are voting tells you more about who will win than asking individuals for whom they will vote,” Polls show opposition leader Benjamin Netanyahu either eking out a victory in Tuesday’s […]
Jeremy Sharon Times of Israel, Oct. 30, 2022 “Because of this financial vulnerability, Rabinowitz says the Haredi parties have sought to leverage the cost of living crisis to their benefit, and blame it squarely on the current government as a way of boosting voter motivation by underlining the supposed negative impact the actions […]
Seth J. Frantzman Jerusalem Post, Nov. 1, 2022 “Ankara wants to use Israel as a conduit to closer ties with Washington. Depending on who triumphs in the elections, Turkey could continue its reconciliation, or use the elections as an excuse to try to inflame tensions and profit from any Israel-Palestinian conflicts that may erupt.” […]
Yehuda Shlezinger Israel Hayom, Oct. 31, 2022 “Those who won’t participate will be carrying out chilul hashem (profaning the name of God), they will be disrespectful toward the Almighty.” Israeli voters will once again head to the polls on Tuesday, but if there is one thing already clear it is that no major […]

Alastair Gale WSJ, Oct. 20, 2022 “At present, there are not many commanders in the PLA who are truly proficient in joint combat. If this situation does not change, once there is a war, it will be very dangerous.” China’s military is emerging as a true competitor to the U.S. under Xi Jinping. The […]
Caitlin Doornbos NY Post, Oct. 18, 2022 “At present, the [Biden] administration’s proposed defense budget for [fiscal year] 2023 falls far short of what the services need to regain readiness and to replace aged equipment,” the report said. The US military may not be able to win one war — let alone two — as […]
Jed Babbin Washington Times, Oct. 21, 2022 “The problem with all of these exercises is that both we and our principal adversaries know that our forces are not prepared to fight a major war.” Military exercises between the United States and its allies’ forces have always had two purposes: first, to train with our […]
Mike Gallagher WSJ, Oct. 25. 2022 “… the PLA Rocket Force (China’s anti-navy) has fielded low-cost weapons to keep American ships out of the fight and target American forces concentrated in a few, fixed locations.” As Xi Jinping secured a third term as general secretary of the Chinese Communist Party, U.S. foreign policy entered a window of maximum […]

Cara Zwibel Toronto Sun, Oct. 20, 2022 “… an intolerable situation requiring decisive action is not the same thing as a national emergency, nor does it demonstrate a threat to national security.” Act first, ask questions later. That’s what the Emergencies Act allows the government to do. No parliamentary debate, no sober second […]
Brian Lilley Toronto Sun, Oct. 18, 2022 “The law defines a public order emergency as “an emergency that arises from threats to the security of Canada and that is so serious as to be a national emergency.” We haven’t heard evidence that this actually happened in Ottawa yet, mostly we’ve heard about municipal incompetence, […]
