Editorial Board WSJ, Mar. 12, 2023 “Shrewd thinkers on Israel’s right understand that compromise is needed to lower the stakes, regain the public’s confidence and pass something durable. The opposition, however, sees Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu standing on a ledge and has no desire to let him off lightly.” Opposition to Israeli judicial reform […]
David M. Weinberg Jerusalem Post, Mar. 8, 2023 “… opposition to public policy reforms must be debated on their merits, without semi-automatic screeching about intolerance, repression, dictatorship, thought police, and the crushing of democratic norms.” Have you heard of a country that is “drowning in a sea of sensed betrayal?” That is “awash in […]
Evelyn Gordon Mosaic Magazine, Mar. 6, 2023 “Right now, both sides believe they can win. The government has the votes to pass its own plan as is; the opposition believes that the protests and pressure will force the government to fold.” Anyone reading the press out of Israel these days would probably […]

In the […]
Matti Steinberg INSS, Feb. 22, 2023 “The strongest evidence for this is that while one generation has succeeded another, Palestinian national identity has not faltered.” The relationship between an idea and its embodiment in an institution (which later becomes the establishment) is coiled and multi-dimensional. This generalization also applies to the subject at hand – […]
Hussein Aboubakr Mansour Emet, Feb. 2, 2023 “This form of humanistic bigotry against the Palestinians came to justify their worst inclination and disregard the lives of Israeli Jews, ending up being one of the most dehumanizing positions towards Israelis and Palestinians.” The recent wave of Palestinian terror attacks, already described in the generic “cycle […]
Robert Malley Jewish Currents, Feb. 4, 2021 “Like any self-respecting Third Worldist, he had to care about Africa, Asia, and Latin America. But his first and true love was Arab, his understanding of that region was the most profound, his hopes as well as his disappointments greatest there, too.” THE ONE THING we know for […]
Oren Kessler Military History Now, Feb. 19, 2023 “The revolt to end Zionism had instead crushed the Arabs themselves, leaving them crippled in facing the Jews’ own drive for statehood a decade on.
