U.S. Strikes on the Houthis were Strong, Proportionate — and Overdue

Editorial Board Washington Post, Jan. 13, 2024 “Iran is the Houthis’ main weapons supplier, so it’s difficult to believe the militia would take such a dramatic step as targeting commercial shipping without the knowing acquiescence, if not outright encouragement, of Tehran.” The U.S.-led airstrikes against targets in the Houthi-controlled parts of Yemen represent a new level of […]

These Accusations of ‘Genocide’ Bring Shame on Humanity: 

 Brendan O’Neill,  Spiked, Jan. 13, 2024   “Let’s be clear: to accuse the Jews of genocide is the gravest calumny. To drag the historical victims of genocidal mania to court in order to bark the accusation of genocide in their faces is, to me, unconscionable.
