Editorial Taipei Times, Jan. 16, 2024 “Taiwan should be proud of what it accomplished this weekend. Watched by the world, it proved that “vibrant democracy” really is an accurate description of the way Taiwanese revel in their hard-won right to vote.” The highly anticipated election season drew to a close on Saturday, with Taiwanese giving their […]

Attacking the […]

Tom McTague Unherd, Jan. 12, 2024 “The Houthis might be plucky little fuckers, but that’s also the point — they have proved remarkably resilient.” Finally, we’ve found the kind of Middle Eastern war we should be fighting. Still, that doesn’t mean we’ll win. Let’s start with the first proposition: that this is the right war. Strip […]
Arash Azizi The Atlantic, Jan. 12, 2024 “An entire generation of Axis fighters has been brought up in Iran’s unique brand of Islamism, with its emphasis on the Islamic Republic as the headquarters of a multinational army that will supposedly one day bring about the downfall of Israel.” Fridays are holy days of rest […]
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 […]

Paul Berger and Costas Paris WSJ, Jan. 10, 2024 “… the rate increases are “substantially above” what is needed to cover the extra costs. “What we have right now from a carrier’s perspective is a blessing in disguise,” said Jensen.’ Western importers are reporting a steep rise in ocean-shipping rates and weekslong delays as carriers […]

BEYOND POLITICAL THEATER Opening Statement of MFA Legal Advisor Dr. Tal Becker at the International Court of Justice Proceedings: Dr. Tal Becker, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Jan. 12, 2024 — 1. The State of Israel is singularly aware of why the Genocide Convention, which has been invoked in these proceedings, was adopted. Seared in our collective memory […]

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. To liken these survivors of the Nazi derangement to the […]

Jerusalem Post, Jan. 13, 2024 “Having witnessed the well-prepared presentation by the South African team one can only wonder what else is in store for Israel in the coming weeks.” South Africa does not excel, to say the least, on fighting corruption or on efficiently managing public institutions, which is perhaps why Israel did not […]
Brooke Goldstein and Gerard Filitti Jerusalem Post, Jan. 12, 2024 “… appeasing Israel’s critics (let alone its enemies) has never worked, and appointing a judicial activist who seems to believe in expanding, rather than limiting, a court’s powers (he killed the Israeli Supreme Court’s standing test and increased the range of matters deemed justiciable) is imprudent, […]
Irwin Cotler National Post, Jan. 10, 2024 “… by launching a baseless proceeding against Israel for the crimes of genocide and incitement to genocide, it provides protective cover to Hamas and its related Iranian terrorist proxies, who themselves are the ones guilty of those crimes.” Genocide is the “crime of crimes,” constituting the most egregious acts […]
Yoav Limor Israel Hayom, Jan. 8, 2024 “Barak’s challenge will not be simple. South Africa has prepared a serious indictment, relying in part on a host of statements by Israeli public figures who called to destroy / demolish / crush / depopulate Gaza.” The decision to send former Chief Justice Aharon Barak to represent […]
