Caroline B. Glick JNS, Aug. 11, 1014 “While Harris’s aides have breathlessly insisted that she never expressed any support for an arms embargo and that she opposes an arms embargo, Harris supported the administration’s decision to block shipments of several critical weapons systems to Israel.” Former President Donald Trump drives liberal Jews to distraction when […]

Jonathan Marc Gribetz Tablet, Aug. 4, 2024 “And when Berger spoke, Palestinian nationalists and their Arab supporters listened.” Rabbi Elmer Berger was born in Cleveland, Ohio, in 1908 and studied at the University of Cincinnati before undertaking rabbinical studies at Hebrew Union College. After his ordination in 1932, he served as rabbi of various Reform […]
David Mamet Unherd, Aug. 9, 2024 “The proximate solution to Jewish vulnerability — which I saw but did not say — was not in persuading others to think differently, but in so-persuading oneself.” How may one today elide the choice between defending the Jewish State’s right to exist, and support for its determined assassins? […]

James M. Dorsey Times of Israel, July 21, 2024 “Nablus, with a population of 150,000 residents, “was one of the biggest laboratories in 2002 for the development of a new type of urban warfare. Israelis were studying how cities operate.” The images of Israel’s reduction of Gaza to a pile of rubble and destructive West […]
Amir Lupovici INSS Research Forum | July 2024 “If there are such great limitations on the ability to deter Hamas, how did it happen that Israel relied so extensively on this strategy?” Introduction The brutal Hamas attack on October 7 brought up a variety of strategic issues, including questions about the strategy of deterrence and Israel’s […]

Dr. Dan Dyker Jerusalem Center for Public Policy, Aug. 8, 2024 “These methods of misinformation are part of a trend of mobilizing and exploiting advanced “perception warfare” alongside Iranian-backed Hizbullah and Hamas terrorism, which has intensified since the October 7, 2023, attack on Israel.” Hamas’s cognitive war against Israel since its October 7 invasion has […]
David M. Weinberg MSN, Aug. 3, 2024 “Israel’s strategic goals have become too limited in recent decades, hamstrung by the failed Oslo peace process with Palestinians and the failed Obama peace process with Iranians.” October 7 (Hamas’s invasion of Israel) and April 14 (Iran’s missile attack on Israel) demand that Jerusalem free itself from stale strategic paradigms. The […]

Jonathan S. Tobin JNS, Aug. 6, 2024 “Shapiro being an affiliated synagogue member who attended Jewish day school and sends his own children to them, as well as has a record of support for Israel dating back to his youth, made him unacceptable to that crucial wing of the party.” There was probably more […]
Gerard Baker WSJ, Aug. 5, 2024 “If the election is decided on the issues, on voters’ perceptions of the state of the country, Ms. Harris is surely in as much trouble as Mr. Biden was.” The only real question for the 90 days remaining in this presidential campaign: Can Operation Transfiguration succeed? Can the Democrats […]
Nils A. Haug Gatestone Institute, Aug. 7, 2024 “The administration has embargoed and slow-walked weapons transfers to Israel to prevent it from defeating Hamas or moving to offense against Hezbollah.” “They are fighting like lions in these alleys, under constant threat. They are heroes. This is not a simple war,” recalled Lt. Col. Almog Rotem, a […]
Musa al-Gharbi Unherd, Aug. 6, 2024 “The biggest wildcard for Harris’s nascent campaign, though, is her leadership style. Over her time in California politics, Harris earned a reputation of being a cruel boss whose organisations operated in a dysfunctional way and with unusually high turnover.” In 2016, mainstream analysts were virtually certain that Donald Trump would not win the […]

Professor Efraim Inbar JISS, Aug. 4, 2024 “Attrition warfare is the best outcome for the population-centric Iranian strategy and the worst possible scenario for Israel.” Governments in many capitals of the world have repeatedly expressed apprehensions about escalation of the Gaza conflict and Hezbollah’s war of attrition against Israel. They fear greater violence, more casualties and […]
