Seth J. Frantzman Jerusalem Post, June 1, 2024 “The current ceasefire plan is a plan to keep Hamas in power. The result will be that Hamas will return to running most of Gaza in the coming years and the reconstruction effort will likely empower Hamas as it has in the past.” US President Joe […]

Daniel Henninger WSJ, June 5, 2024 “Rarely discussed, because it is so incredible, is the assumption that any successor Israeli government would allow the Sinwar-led Hamas to emerge intact, in Gaza, with whatever weaponry it has left.” As reports come out of the Biden administration about cease-fire talks between Israel and Hamas, bear in mind […]
Caroline Glick JNS, May 31, 2024 “… by undermining Israel’s operation in Rafah, the administration is protecting Hamas from destruction while effectively criminalizing Israel’s war to protect itself from further aggression against Hamas.” The most basic function of all governments is to provide for the collective defense of the governed. The most basic foundation of […]
Gabby Deutch Jewish Insider, June 5, 2024 “… his frequent criticism of Israel’s military tactics does not go far enough to appease left-wing Democrats unhappy with Biden’s overall support for Israel; meanwhile, his outreach to the anti-Israel segment of the party irritates Jewish voters and pro-Israel moderates.” On Tuesday morning, Time magazine published the full transcript of its recent Oval […]

James Woudhuysen Spiked, June 2, 2024 “Nazism, then, was not just beaten by America’s GDP. It was also undone by its own totalitarianism. Conversely, democracy, though severely constrained by the war, benefitted the Allies.” Shortly after midnight on 6 June 1944, Operation Neptune, otherwise known as D-Day, began. Thousands upon thousands of planes and ships bombed […]
Tu Thanh Ha Globe And Mail, June 5, 2024 “In the morning, he could see bodies around him. He wanted to numb his pain with morphine but, with only one uninjured hand, he tried to open the syrette with his teeth and spilled its content.” Eighteen Halifax heavy bombers left their base in Yorkshire about […]
Gerard Leval Jerusalem Post, June 5, 2024 “Without the ultimate sacrifice of thousands of Americans and the liberation that those soldiers made possible, my grandparents, my mother and my uncle would likely have been deported to Auschwitz and certain death.” Thursday marks the 80th anniversary of D-Day, the Allied landings along the Normandy coast during World […]
John Leicester and Sylvie Corbet and Danica Kirka KCen, June 4, 2024 “You don’t want other people to go through the same thing. Because I’ve seen a lot of these boys that never even made the beach, believe me. And we were all 18, 19 years old.” Under their feet, the sands of Omaha Beach, […]

Evan Stubbs Yale Journal of International Affairs, May 23, 2024 “While previously opposed to bilateralism, dramatic upheavals in the geopolitical world order in the early 1970s left both Israel and Taiwan more vulnerable and isolated than ever, creating favorable conditions for pariah state cooperation.” On December 29, 2021, Taiwan’s vice president (now the […]
Mark Leonard Foreign Affairs, Jan. 8, 2024 “By aligning with majority opinion in such countries as Indonesia, Saudi Arabia, and South Africa, China can present itself as an alternative to what it sees as a warmongering, hegemonic, and hypocritical America.” Over the past year, as Western diplomats shuttled frantically from one end of […]
Guermantes Laitari Jewish Policy Center, Spring 2024 “China has not condemned the Hamas (and other terrorist organizations’) terror attack on Israel. In fact, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi described Israel’s response to the terrorist attacks on October 14 as being “beyond the scope of self-defense” and requested Israel to “cease its collective punishment of the […]
Simone Lipkind Council on Foreign Relations, Jan. 25, 2024 “Given China’s response to the war in Gaza, Bibi’s public efforts to revive Israel’s relationship with China during periods of strife with the United States now appear short sighted.” Leading up to Hamas’s October 7 attack, Israel was attempting to manage great power competition much […]
