Hugh Hewitt Washington Post, Mar. 19, 2022 “The new version of appeasement is belatedly arming Ukraine while empowering Putin (and paying him indirectly) in the deal taking shape with Iran in Vienna.” Neville Chamberlain was a good man, though vain, and when he died, Winston Churchill — who replaced Chamberlain as British prime minister — eulogized […]
Jennifer Hiller WSJ, Mar. 22, 2022 “The U.S. has met Russia’s assault on Ukraine with economic penalties targeting Russia’s financial sector and a ban on oil imports into the U.S., but so far, uranium has avoided sanctions. The U.S. relied on Russia and its allies Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan for about 46% of its needs in 2020, according to the […]

Walter J. Boyne Group Historians, 2013 “The political ramifications involved not only the relationship of the United States with Israel but also with the Soviet Union, the Arab countries (particularly Egypt), and NATO members.” On 6 Oct. 1973, while the State of Israel observed the Jewish holy day of Yom Kippur, war burst upon the […]
John T. Correll Air Force Magazine, June 24, 2016 “There is no official explanation for naming the airlift “Nickel Grass,” but it was most likely the work of an airman in the planning chain who whimsically borrowed the words from a bawdy World War II fighter pilot ballad that began, “Throw a nickel in the […]
J. Robert Kane Small Wars Journal, July 26, 2018 “Nevertheless, the idea of an American resupply airlift conflicted with American policy as described by deliberating members of the WSAG who knew of the diplomatic repercussions of the action with both the Arabs and Soviets.” The 1973 War between Israel and the Arab states is largely […]
Frederick Krantz Isranet, Apr. 1, 2022 In October, 1973, in the course of the Yom Kippur War Israel, as it ran low on fuel, ammunition, and equipment, was saved from possible disaster by the intervention of American President Richard M. Nixon. Responding to an emotional plea from Israeli Prime Minister Gold Meir, on October 9 Nixon, overruling his […]

David Horovitz Times of Israel, Mar. 30, 2022 “The jihadist would-be caliphate may have lost its territorial assets, but its ideology lives on, including among a very small, but potentially deadly, Arab Israeli minority” Two decades after the Second Intifada — an onslaught of Palestinian suicide bombings in 2000-2003 in which 1,000 Israelis were killed […]
Yaakov Lappin JNS, Mar. 29, 2022 “Something here has become broken in terms of the operations of security forces against ISIS-affiliated suspects.” ISIS-inspired terrorists create significant challenges for intelligence agencies that make them harder to pick up, and Israeli security forces need to adopt new patterns of operation following back-to-back terror attacks, a former defense […]
J.E. Dyer The Optimistic Conservative, Mar. 29, 2022 “I recommend considering the possibility that some Arabs from Israel and the territories are being radicalized on a new(ish) vector by regional opponents of the Abraham Accords, the Negev summit, and the changing dynamics of regional alignment and connections.” This will be a brief Ready Room; basically […]
Amos Harel Haaretz, Mar. 25, 2022 “In recent years, there had been a sharp decline in terror attacks by ISIS and its supporters until another turning point occurred – the chaotic American withdrawal from Afghanistan and the Taliban’s reassertion of control. This was perceived by Islamists as a victory that would inspire supporters all around […]

Machla Abramovitz Mishpacha Magazine, Feb. 9, 2022 They were the Jews of Kortelisy — close-knit, religiously committed, yet highly vulnerable. Their village, an impoverished yet happy hamlet in the backwoods of western Ukraine, between Brest-Litovsk (Brisk) and Kowel (Kovel), was home to about 30 Jewish families among Ukrainian Orthodox Christian neighbors. But try finding Kortelisy on […]

Miriam Berger Washington Post, Mar. 10, 2022 Ukraine’s Jewish community was on the up. After centuries of pogroms and emigration driven by antisemitism, followed by the devastation of the Holocaust in World War II, and then Soviet repression, recent decades brought a flourishing of synagogues, Jewish schools and community centers. Estimates of how many Jews […]
