Einat Wilf Sapir Journal, Vol. 12, Winter 2024 “The words were inverted to keep the war alive, deprive the Jewish state of legitimacy, and maintain a constant question mark over the Jewish state’s very existence.” Adi Schwartz and I had just exited another frustrating meeting with a smug European diplomat. Turning to an […]

Giulio Meotti Israel National News, May 24, 2024 “They opened the gates of hell and justified everything.” “Strange Bedfellows” is not just a 1964 film starring Rock Hudson and Gina Lollobrigida. In politics and war they are called “bedfellows”, but the radical left’s love affair with Islamic fanatics is the strangest couple that ever […]

Andrew Fox Tablet, May 22, 2024 “The IDF has absolutely no intention of using the clear-hold-build COIN tactics the West tried in Afghanistan and Iraq. Those tactics were an unmitigated disaster in both campaigns, which ended in humiliating defeats at the hands of technologically inferior armies.” As the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) conducts another assault […]
Seth J. Frantzman Jerusalem Post, May 22, 2024 “The goal of the 98th Division is basically to complete the job. It’s like sandpaper on wood. You start with the rough grade, and you have to grind the enemy down with a more precise grade at the end.” When the IDF decided to go back […]
Arab Desk The Eastern Herald, May 22, 2024 “Lafi talks about internal pressures in Egypt and Israel to “tamper with relations and each party accuses the other of not fulfilling its duties.” The Philadelphia axis is considered a “buffer zone” and is subject to the peace agreement between Egypt and Israel. However, two weeks […]
Elie Podeh Jerusalem Post, May 20, 2024 “Egypt seeks end to war and restored calm.” Al-Ahram newspaper recently reported that Egypt had provided tens of thousands of psychological support sessions for Palestinians injured since the onset of the war in Gaza.

Stephan Daisley The Spectator, May 21, 2024 “… it is Israel that is being targeted by the ICC, and Israel that must take the lead in standing up for itself.” The application for arrest warrants against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defence Minister Yoav Gallant is an act of lawfare. In seeking the detention […]
Brendan O’Neill Spiked, May 22, 2024 “Want a state? Start a war. Kill some Jews. Job done.” So now we know what it takes to become a state: the murder of Jews. Rape, kill and kidnap Jews and seven months later, the leaders of Ireland, Spain and Norway will recognise your statehood. That’s the lesson of […]
Ariel Kahana Israel Hayom, May 22, 2024 “I don’t think there’s any comparison with engaging to avoid having humanitarian conditions get to the point that that leads to massive consequences in terms of nutrition and health problems. That’s very different than accusing Israel of using starvation as a weapon of war, which is absurd.” […]
Caroline B. Glick JNS, May 22, 2024 “… the ICC is providing material support for Hamas. That is, it is providing material support for a genocidal terror group engaged in a genocidal war against the Jewish people.” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s initial response to International Criminal Court chief prosecutor Karim Khan’s announcement that he […]

Editorial Board WSJ, May 20, 2024 “The ICC’s disregard for procedure exposes its bias, and if the warrant request is an effort to undermine Mr. Netanyahu’s government, it won’t work.” The International Criminal Court has lost more than the plot. In requesting arrest warrants on Monday for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his defense chief, […]
Brendan O’Neill Spiked, May 20, 2024 “Anyone who thinks this is a fair development because it targets both sides in the war is delusional.” So it’s a crime now to defend yourself against fascist violence? Some of the imperious prosecutors of the International Criminal Court (ICC) seem to think so. Just 226 days after […]
