Daily Briefing: ISRAEL REMAKES MIDDLE EAST

Monday Marks Day 445 for Hostages in Gaza — Longer Than the Iranian Hostages

/

A.J.  Caschetta Algemeiner, Dec. 25, 2024 “One of the greatest differences between the coverage of the hostages held in Iran 45 years ago and of the hostages in Gaza today is that no one was on Iran’s side then, while many are on Hamas’s side today.” On November 4, 1979, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini’s henchmen stormed […]

The Strike in Yemen: A Justified Response—But Insufficient for Changing the Reality

/

Tamir Hayman INSS, Dec. 19, 2024 “A sustained campaign is needed, not just a single operation.” The IDF’s strike in Yemen last night is a justified response and marks an escalation in Israel’s reactions to Houthi fire, but it’s not enough to change the reality on the ground. The reality is that from the moment […]

Israel Is Winning the War, While the West Retreats

/

Mick Hume Spiked, Dec. 21, 2024 “Every act of betrayal of Israel has been accompanied by the constant barrage of international media coverage that works on the principle of blame Israel first, and ask questions later.” It’s now clear that, given a free hand, Israel can handle its mortal enemies in the Middle East. It’s […]

Debbie Weiss Algemeiner, Dec. 16, 2024 “In the immediate aftermath of Oct. 7, while many other European countries flew Israeli flags above their government or public buildings, no such act of solidarity was shown in Ireland.” Ireland’s decision to join South Africa’s genocide case against Israel at the International Court of Justice and its support for redefining […]

‘Anti-Zionism’ Has Become the New Antisemitism in Ireland

Oliver Sears Fathom Journal, December 2024 “His short statement drips with contempt, revealing how such antiquated anti-Jewish racism presents itself in contemporary political commentary, without the least self-doubt.” I have a photograph, circa 1908 of my great-grandmother, Perla Rozenblum aged eighteen with a group of friends in Vienna at the tombstone of Theodor Herzl, the godfather of modern […]

Israël liquide l’arsenal chimique syrien, et fait payer à l’Irlande sa surenchère anti-israélienne

/

Citation de la semaine:   « Nous voulons entretenir des relations normales avec le nouveau régime syrien… Mais si ce régime permet à l’Iran de se réimplanter en Syrie, s’il autorise le transfert d’armes iraniennes ou de toute autre arme au Hezbollah ou s’il nous attaque, nous réagirons avec force et nous lui ferons payer […]
