Jon Polin Israel from the Inside, Aug. 20, 2024 “There is war, there are reserves, there is Lebanon and there is Iran. The hostages? “It’s complicated,” and they choose not to speak.” Barely a few weeks into this war, back at the end of October or the beginning of November, we had most of our […]

Jamie Dettmer Politico, Aug. 12, 2024 “As Jewish Democrats, it’s tough to wrap our heads around the idea that everyone thought Shapiro was the strongest pick and he lost out. There was an unprecedented campaign against him by the far left, including many who aren’t even Democrats, to smear him because he’s an observant Jew.” […]
Douglas Altabef Jerusalem Post, Sept. 3, 2024 “The “as a Jew” Jews have come to understand that the only way they can maintain their good standing in the intersectional progressive world that they yearn to inhabit is to turn on – and to turn in – their own people.” The range of Jewish attitudes toward […]
Future of Jewish, Aug. 29, 2024 “… while we were distracted, living it up with our bagels and schmears and “Curb Your Enthusiasm” bingeing, the cabin pressure itself plummeted — and now, like George Costanza, we need to follow Liel Leibovitz’s advice, and “get out.”” Writer’s note: I have requested anonymity for this essay because […]
Uzi Reshun Jerusalem Post, Sept. 4, 2024 “It stands to reason, however, that Jews will give undue weight to considerations related to Israel. If so, Kamala Harris’s somewhat ambivalent statements about the current war and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in general may weaken American Jews’ support for her candidacy.” Appearing before Jewish donors in New Jersey, […]

Matti Friedman The Free Press, Sept. 1, 2024 “But as for the real person—the grinning raconteur from that dinner table—we heard nothing for months.” Last September I had dinner with Hersh Goldberg-Polin at his home in Jerusalem, which isn’t far from mine. His parents are friends, Chicago natives who came years ago and stayed. […]
Brendan O’Neill Spiked, Sept. 1, 2024 “Here’s the only question that matters right now: are Jewish lives worth fighting for? Some of us think they are. Others, from the top of politics to the frenzied anti-Semites on the streets, seem to think otherwise.” The discovery of the bodies of six Israeli hostages in a tunnel in Rafah […]
Melanie Phillips Substack, Sept. 3, 2024 “They’ve thrown Israel under the bus at the moment that it’s fighting for its life under a seven-front genocidal onslaught from Iran and its proxies. The British punished Israel for defending itself on the very day it was burying its war dead.” Almost at the very moment yesterday that […]
Bassam Tawil Gatestone Institute, Sept. 3, 2024 “Hamas leaders are banking on the Biden administration to compel the Israeli government to give in to the terror group’s demands. The Hamas leaders see the ongoing tensions between the Biden administration and the Netanyahu government as an encouraging development. It has long been the dream of Hamas and […]

Itay Ilnai Israel Hayom, Sept. 1, 2024 “The reason for CENTCOM’s massive buildup, senior defense and political officials agree, is solely related to Iran.” On Monday, American General Charles Brown, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, participated in a tour of the Israel-Lebanon border. Although this is only the second time Brown, the highest-ranking […]
Marc Polymeropoulos Atlantic Council, Aug. 27, 2024 “… the preemptive strike, based on the extraordinary collection, was de-escalatory in nature.” In my twenty-six-year career at the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), I found that there were many misnomers in the intelligence business that were shared by the public and even policymakers. One is the notion that […]
Ben Fishman, Hanin Ghaddar, Assaf Orion and Dennis Ross Washington Institute for Near East Policy, Aug 27, 2024 “In its [Hezbollah’s] view, the current conflict has shifted the “buffer zone” between the two parties southward, posing enough of a threat to compel mass evacuations in northern Israel.” On August 25, Israel carried out large-scale preemptive […]
