Seth J. Frantzman Jerusalem Post, Aug. 3, 2022 “Add all this up, and one gets an emerging picture of how air defenses are reshaping US-Israel ties and the region.” The US State Department has approved the potential sale of Terminal High Altitude Area Defense system missiles, THAAD fire control and communication stations, and related […]

Eric R. Mandel The Hill, July 22, 2022 “… based on my meetings with policymakers, the deterrence that timeframe would afford is worth the risk to Israel. Furthermore, the assumption that the Iranian nuclear program will restart immediately may be unfounded.” What are Israel’s political and security aims regarding Iran, and are they now matched […]
Geoffrey Aronson National Interest, Aug. 10, 2022 “Diplomacy will not stop [Iran]. The only thing that will stop Iran is knowing that if they continue to develop their nuclear program, the free world [aka the United States] will use force. The only way to stop them is to put a credible military threat on […]
Lara Seligman and Alexander Ward Politico, July 12, 2022 “Over the past year I have been leading an extensive program, together with my partners at the Pentagon and in the U.S. administration, that will strengthen the cooperation between Israel and countries in the region.

Walter Russel Mead WSJ, July 25, 2022 “If the U.S. is going to develop an effective response to this combination of strategic threats, our political leaders will have to move beyond finger pointing and blame games over the fate of the JCPOA.” No matter what you call it, the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action—JCPOA […]

Nathan Lewin WSJ, July 7, 2022 “Orthodox Jews can now push to establish local laws like those nullified by the court’s 1971 decision, which would provide important funding to Jewish day schools and other religious educational options.” In Kennedy v. Bremerton, a decision upholding a public-school football coach’s right to kneel in prayer after a game, […]
Alan Dershowitz Gatestone Institute, Aug. 3, 2022 “It is difficult to imagine any other ethnic or other group of Democrats — Blacks, Arabs, gays — that would not even mention the issues of direct concern to that group at a large fundraiser. Why are Jewish Democrats different?” As President Joe Biden was returning from his […]
Benjamin M. Jacobs and Shuki Taylor Sapir Journal, Vol. 6, Summer 2022 “The universalization of Jewish education is built on the premise that a program can be everything to everyone. But trying to be everything to everyone often results in being nothing to anyone.” Educational systems generally favor stability over change. Most educational efforts […]
Samuel J. Abrams and Jack Wertheimer Tablet, June 24, 2022 “Levels of religious conviction, denominational identities, worship service attendance, and other expressions and measures of religiosity correlate with how most Americans vote in elections and identify politically in surveys.” It is a truism among many observers of the current socio-political scene that politics has […]

David Horovitz Times of Israel, Aug. 7, 2022 “… the Israeli leadership did not claim it was going to destroy Islamic Jihad. It did not assert that it would put a halt to Gaza rocket fire. And it has determinedly sought to avoid drawing Hamas into the conflict.” Three days into Operation Breaking Dawn, […]
Yoav Limor JNS, Aug. 7, 2022 “… as the hits on the organization’s members increase PIJ will be forced to recalculate, after also failing to impose a new equation of deterrence creating a linkage between arrests in Judea and Samaria and threats from Gaza.” Israel may have registered a long list of successes so […]
Oded Granot Israel Hayom, Aug. 7, 2022 “It’s safe to assume that Hamas is not happy in a situation where it is being accused of sitting on the fence.” The terrorist leaders of Hezbollah in the north and the Palestinians in the south have a strong affinity for issuing menacing equations. Nasrallah’s latest was […]
