Joy The Week, Aug. 4, 2025 “We cannot normalize a society where hatred towards Jews is treated as political discourse.” France, home to Europe’s largest Jewish population, is once again wrestling with a surge in antisemitic sentiment that has alarmed political leaders, Jewish communities and rights groups alike. While antisemitism has long […]

Simone Rodan-Benzaquen WSJ, Aug. 6, 2025 “France’s humanitarian duty is real. But so is its duty to protect citizens—especially Jews, who are facing hostility without recent precedent.” A 25-year-old woman from Gaza strolled across the manicured campus of the Lille Institute of Political Studies late last month, smiling for French television cameras. Nour Atalla seemed to be the […]
Elizabeth Bryant DW, Aug. 1, 2025 “It’s an opportunistic decision. It cements the divorce with the Jewish community in France, considerably chills relations with Israel and the United States and reinforces Hamas.” Mohammed Iriqat has witnessed first-hand France’s shifting stance on the crisis in the Gaza Strip, from the taunts he once received for wearing a kaffiyeh, […]
Alan Kessel The Hill, Aug. 8, 2025 “… recognition is not a throwaway gesture. Once granted, it is almost impossible to reverse.” The geopolitics of the Middle East is shifting quickly, and not for the better.

Mathilda Heller Jerusalem Post, Aug. 11, 2025 “As the Israel Democracy Institute recently explained, the traditional position in international law is that a state either exists, or it does not: “If it does not meet the factual conditions for statehood, recognition of it has no meaning.”” On Monday, Australia joined a growing number of […]
Seth Mandel Commentary, July 31, 2025 “The problem with this line of thinking is that it assumes these Western countries don’t want to escalate the situation. By all accounts they do …” The dominoes have begun to fall regarding the recognition of Palestinian statehood. It’s time for the U.S. and Israel to make sure they have […]
Sean Durns Algemeiner, Aug. 11, 2025 “… there already been a “trial Palestinian state” and it was in Gaza.” In 1973, Israel’s longtime foreign minister, Abba Eban, famously quipped that “the Arabs never miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity.” Less famously, perhaps, the media never misses a chance to cover for the long history […]
Yaroslav Mar Times of Israel, Aug. 10, 2025 “Many claim that if Germany could be denazified without ceasing to exist, “Palestine” could be deradicalized into a state. But the analogy falls apart instantly.” The illusion has gone on long enough. For decades, world leaders have clung to the idea that peace in the Middle […]

Fiamma Nirenstein JNS, Aug. 8, 2025 “If the West cannot confront a genocidal Islamist movement after the largest massacre of Jews since the Holocaust, it forfeits its own moral standing.” It was an unusually candid moment. Speaking to a small group of journalists before Thursday night’s Security Cabinet meeting—a rare move in itself—Prime Minister Benjamin […]
