Hamas Mortally Threatens Israel’s Existence

/

Michael Oren WSJ, Oct. 22, 2023 “Only by destroying Hamas can Israel secure our borders and deter our enemies. Only when we have freed ourselves from the threat of Hamas barbarism can we begin restoring our faith in our governing institutions and armed forces. We can believe, as we once did, in the idea of Israel, […]

The Strategic Imperative of U.S. Military Assistance to Israel

/

Rep. August Pfluger and Michael Makovsky Washington Times, Oct. 19, 2023 “The opposition to assistance for Israel is disconnected from the prevailing realities in the Middle East — where Israel works toward peace with its Arab neighbors, including Saudi Arabia.”   Earlier this month, the world watched in horror as Iranian-backed terrorists went from door to door, kidnapping, killing […]

Dostoevsky Knew: It Can Happen Here

/

Gary Saul Morson WSJ, Oct. 18, 2023 “Believe me,” Dostoevsky addresses his readers, “the most complete aberration of human hearts and minds is always possible.”   As I read about Harvard students demonstrating in favor of Hamas and educated people proclaiming that “decolonization” should be pursued “by any means necessary,” I thought of Dostoevsky’s reaction, […]

No Cease-fire in Gaza, Hamas Must Surrender

/

Gerard Laval Washington Times, Oct. 18, 2023 “A cease-fire in Gaza will merely be viewed by Hamas as a hiatus in the effort to achieve their ultimate objective (in this case the destruction of Israel and the murder of its Jewish citizens, as openly enunciated in their charter).”   It is terribly immodest and even arrogant to quote oneself.

Taking Gaza Would Be Possible, Sieges from Mosul to Mariupol Show—but at a Steep Cost

/

  Yaroslav Trafimov WSJ, Oct. 22, 2023   “The military paradox here is that, the faster Israel is forced to operate, the more it would have to use to brute force, increasing the civilian toll and the damage to Gaza’s infrastructure.” As Israel plans a ground operation in Gaza, aiming to eradicate Hamas, recent history elsewhere […]

The Navy Shuffle: Mixed Signals with Biden Visit to Israel

J.E. Dyer The Optimistic Conservative, Oct. 17, 2023 “Ominously, for reportedly the first time in history, Iran raised a “black flag” over the iconic Imam Reza shrine on Tuesday, a move with potentially apocalyptic overtones given the significance of Imam Reza, or the “8th Imam,” to Shia Islam.”   The signals being sent with President […]

Will Hezbollah Target American Assets Amid Israel’s War on Gaza?

/

David Schencker Washington Institute for Near East Policy, Oct. 23, 2023 “Iran appears for the time being to be inclined to preserve Hezbollah—its most important deterrent asset against a potential Israeli strike on the theocracy’s nuclear programme—rather than degrade its capabilities in the service of Hamas.”   October 23 marks the 40th anniversary of Lebanese […]

These Are the Challenges Awaiting Israeli Ground Forces in Gaza

John Spencer Modern War Institute, Oct. 11, 2023 “… urban warfare presents challenges that extend well beyond the tactical level. On top of these are several that will challenge Israel’s efforts at the operational and even strategic level.”   Shortly after a Hamas assault that produced the deadliest day Israel has suffered in decades, Israel declared […]

How Will the IDF Handle Urban Combat?

David Kilcullen Foreign Affairs, Oct. 23, 2023 “Urban combat is slow, grinding, destructive, and horrendously costly in human life.”   Although the details are still difficult to predict, it seems very likely that Israel will mount a land invasion of the Gaza Strip in the near future. If and when that happens, the campaign will […]

Theodore Dalrymple City Journal, Oct. 12, 2023 “… the barbarians are within the gates.”   The sight of thousands of young people in London celebrating the massacres that Hamas committed in Israel unsurprisingly made many people’s blood run cold. The demonstrators rejoiced not despite the brutality of what was done but because of it. What […]
