Aaron Kliegman Just the News, Apr. 30, 2022 “Iran and Hezbollah have had a significant presence in the Western Hemisphere for decades, building networks of influence through friendly governments such as Cuba, Venezuela, and Nicaragua and by relying on their diaspora. They’ve been trying to do that in the U.S. as well.” The trial of […]
Ben Caspit Al-Monitor, Apr. 29, 2022 “Bennett was quick to identify the IRGC demand as the soft underbelly of the negotiations between the sides. He called Foreign Minister Yair Lapid, got him on board and the two went to work.” Prime Minister Naftali Bennett put the odds of a new deal being signed on Iran’s […]
Caroline B. Glick Caroline Glick.com, Apr. 29, 2022 “The most optimistic assessments of Biden’s sought for nuclear deal claim it will keep Iran 4-6 months from nuclear breakout from the moment the Iranians decide to cross the nuclear threshold.” On Tuesday, Israel Hayom reported that there is a growing sense among Israeli and U.S. officials […]

Rick Richman Mosaic, Jan. 4, 2021 “The Jews of Europe needed, Herzl believed, to change their minds—to recover their honor, to recognize that assimilation could not succeed, and to embrace a different solution: a new Exodus.” Not since Moses led the 40-year Exodus from Egypt did anyone transform Jewish history as fundamentally as Theodor Herzl […]
Rabbi Amiel Hirsch Sapir Journal, Vol. 5, Spring 2022 “Judaism absent Jewish peoplehood is not Judaism; it is something else. Whenever Jews abandoned their ideological — or practical — commitment to Am Yisrael, they eventually drifted away.” The Jewish story begins in Genesis chapter 12: And God said to Abram: “Go forth from your native land . . . to a land that I will […]
Dvora Waysman Jerusalem Post, Apr. 28, 2022 “We sing it standing straight and proud, and usually with tears in our eyes as we remember the broken people who found a safe haven here, and those who never managed to reach its shores and died with the dream of Zion in their hearts.” Jews all over […]
Mike Watson Tablet, May 2, 2022 “The British government’s opposition to Jewish aspirations ran afoul of two important actors: the Jewish defense forces and President Harry Truman.” The story of Israel’s creation is one of the most improbable in human history: After millennia of exile and dispersion, the Jewish people once again had a state […]

Conrad Black National Post, Apr. 23, 2022 “This makes Canada’s contribution to strengthening the West at its most vulnerable point and training up the Ukrainian army all the more remarkable.” Almost the entire world outside of Russia has been impressed by the doughty and successful fight that Ukraine has put up against the barbarous assault […]
Tom Blackwell National Post, Apr. 25, 2022 “They seem to be held back by this not-realistic fear that this is going to trigger World War Three” The airlift of arms into Eastern Europe to help Ukraine’s out-gunned defence against Russian invasion seemed to enter a new phase this week. Long-range artillery, armoured vehicles and other […]
Derek H. Burney National Post, Apr. 24, 2022 “Odessa is the ultimate prize for Putin” The longer the war in Ukraine lasts, the more atrocities against civilians are exposed, and the murkier the prospects for victory and peace become. Western publics remain staunchly supportive of Ukraine’s valiant efforts, but they can become inured to the […]
Josie Ensor National Post, Apr. 23, 2022 “The delivery in recent weeks of Soviet-era T-72 tanks to Kyiv from the Czech Republic and other NATO allies has effectively eroded Russia’s advantage.” The U.S. will supply Ukraine with deadly “ghost drones” developed specifically for Ukrainian forces to use against Russian troops. The 120 Phoenix Ghost Tactical […]

Alan Rappeport NY Times, Apr. 8, 2022 “Within the Treasury Department, officials have been in a debate about how far to push the sanctions without creating unintended consequences that would rattle the financial system and inflame inflation, which is soaring across much of the world.” When Russia imposed retaliatory sanctions on top American officials last month, its […]
