Michal Kranz Unherd, Oct. 9, 2024 “It’s already clear that Lebanon’s old political order is dead and buried.” Over the last fortnight, everything has changed in Lebanon. Hezbollah, which had dominated the country’s politics for more than 20 years, has seen its leadership decapitated, its arsenal diminished, its anti-Zionist credentials tarnished. All the while, […]
Hany Ghoraba IPT News, Oct. 30, 2024 “… appointing him (Qassem) as a General Secretary was the most logical since he was the Deputy General Secretary since 1991 which means that he was the most loyal to Iran and most trust by them” Hezbollah is still attempting to recoup its losses following the […]
Dov Lieber WSJ, Oct. 15, 2024 “With a ground campaign, you know where you’ll start, but don’t know where you’ll finish.” Near the point where Israel, Lebanon and the Mediterranean Sea meet, Israeli soldiers were patrolling a forest when they spotted something strange—a small patch of green paint on a tree. It was a […]
Kyle Orton Fathom Journal, October 2024 “… what has happened to Hezbollah is distinctly unequal: decapitation this thorough and rapid has few precedents.” Hezbollah, the branch of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) that controls Lebanon, joined the war against Israel on 8 October 2023, the day after the horrendous pogrom that murdered 1,200 Israelis and […]

Canaan Lidor and Amelie Botbol JNS, Oct. 29, 2024 “In my opinion this move won’t be the end of UNRWA, but I would hope that responsible governments such as the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom or Germany take this as an opportunity to engage in significant investigations.” Israel’s Knesset on Monday made it […]
Asaf Romirowsky and Alex Joffe Pundicity, Oct. 3, 2024 “UNRWA’s ties to terror go back decades, as do denials.” There are few constants in American foreign policy. One of them is deference to UNRWA, the internationally funded welfare agency for Palestinians. This organization is implicated in terrorism. The news that Fateh Sherif Abu el-Amin, head […]
Seth J. Frantzman Jerusalem Post, Oct. 29, 2024 “IT’S WORTH thinking of UNRWA not as the organization it was after its founding, when it provided essential services that were actually needed, but rather as the empire of perpetual suffering that it has become.” In the wake of Israel passing two bills that essentially block the […]
Elizabeth Samson Middle East Forum, Oct. 11, 2024 “The motivation for the Secretary-General’s refusal to waive immunity is likely a desire to protect the U.N. from the exposure of a court investigation.

Bret Stephens Commentary, November 2024 “Broadly speaking, American Jews, at least outside of the Orthodox world, opted not just for assimilation. Too often, they went for self-erasure.” The prose style of Bernard-Henri Lévy, France’s most recognizable public intellectual, is not to everyone’s taste. He is prone to grandiloquence, self-reference, and metaphor salads. In the margins […]
Jonathan S. Tobin JNS, Oct. 11, 2024 “… many American Jews have been happily swimming in the same cultural sea of hostility towards Zionism, and until recently, never suspected that its venom could drown them.” On Yom Kippur, there will, as there is every year, be a lot of collective breast-beating in the American Jewish community […]
Abigail Pogrebin Tablet, Oct. 28, 2024 “While I would say I’m enthusiastic, there is a caveat, and it does have to do with a post-10/7 world where Israel is an important issue to me in a way it simply wasn’t beforehand.” According to polls, Kamala Harris is set to receive the lion’s share of […]
