French Election Becomes ‘Nightmare’ for Nation’s Jews

Roger Cohen NY Times, June 20, 2024 “The National Rally supports the Jews, supports the State of Israel, and it’s quite normal given the activity I’ve had over the past 60 years, that between an antisemitic party and a pro-Jewish party, I’ll vote for the pro-Jewish one.”   The alleged rape last weekend of a […]

French Far Right Works to Turn Election Win into Power

/

John Leicester, Sylvie Corbet and Barbara Surk LA Times, July 1, 2024 “… the first round of the French vote was also sufficiently undecided to offer up the alternative possibility that France’s complex, two-round system could leave no single bloc with a clear and workable majority.

What’s Worse: A Diminished President or Failed Policies?

Jonathan S. Tobin JNS, July 1, 2024   “Obama’s ideas and policies are more or less identical to those of the current administration.”   For some observers worried about the widespread perception of American weakness abroad, President Joe Biden’s shocking performance in last week’s debate with former President Donald Trump provided an easy explanation for the […]

Debate Takeaways for Israel

Caroline B. Glick JNS, June 28, 2024   “Biden’s policies aren’t his personal preferences. His pro-Iran, pro-Palestinian policies are those of the Democratic Party’s foreign-policy establishment.”   There was nothing remotely surprising about U.S. President Joe Biden’s performance at the presidential debate in Atlanta on Thursday night.

The Lies We Have Lived Through

Victor Davis Hanson American Greatness, July 1, 2024   “The useful lie continued throughout his presidency, escalating in direct proportion to Joe’s mounting stumbles, brain freezes, rambling, and incomprehensible speech.

They are trying desperately to jettison him and, in a remarkably cynical act of bait-and-switch, swap him out for someone more useful to their cause.”   There […]

A Cold Revenge: How Iran Baited Israel on October 7

Peled Arbeli Jerusalem Post, June 27, 2024 “They came to the conclusion that Israel should be dragged into the war and not into another operation in Gaza.

Can Iran be Coerced?

Jacob Olidort The National Interest, June 25, 2024 “From the perspective of this end state of fostering planning paralysis, Israel’s objective of eradicating Hamas in Gaza not only eliminates a fundamental security threat but also rids Iran of a proxy on Israel’s doorstep, thereby complicating Iran’s efforts to attack Israel while diminishing Iran’s footprint in […]

War Between Israel and Iran Is Inevitable

Seth Cropsey WSJ, June 25, 2024 “By manipulating the U.S. into restraining Israel, Iran hopes to keep Israel frozen and slowly erode its will. At some point in the coming months, Iran expects a cease-fire that will allow it to capture the West Bank and threaten Israel’s existence.”    Israel faces a strategic choice with […]
