West Remains Blind to Iranian Regime’s War on Jews

Kasra Aarabi and Saeid Golkar Middle East Forum, Dec. 4, 2024 “The ballistic missiles Iran’s regime has been firing are called Khaybar Destroyers—in other words, “Jew destroyers.”’ With the murder of Rabbi Zvi Kogan, an Israeli rabbi who helped provide kosher food in the United Arab Emirates, now confirmed as terrorism, the Iranian regime’s involvement is […]

Will Tehran Be Next? Iran’s Myth of Power Has Been Shattered

/

Edward Luttwack Unherd, Dec. 10, 2024 “Iran’s population is discovering that it has spent decades in poverty to pay for the massive build-up of the Revolutionary Guards and all their militias. And for what?” Damascus has fallen — something that has as much to do with Iran as with Syria. Tehran had long kept the […]

This is Iran’s Annus Horribilis

Jason M. Brodsky The Spectator, Dec. 8, 2024 “Iran’s national security strategy has been unravelling in real time.” Iran’s Axis of Resistance is falling apart. Israel has significantly degraded Hezbollah’s capabilities and decapitated its leadership. Hamas has been left decimated in Gaza. The regime of Syria’s President Bashar al-Assad has collapsed. Intact for now are […]

The Unhinged Crusade to Find Israel Guilty of Genocide

  Brendan O’Neill Spiked, Dec. 13, 2024 “It seems Ireland wants to ‘liberate’ the ICJ from its quaint attachment to the morally reasoned belief that genocide requires genocidal intent.”  It’s not often I feel ashamed to be Irish. But today I do. For the Irish government is plotting something so slippery it boggles the mind. […]

The Propaganda War on Israel Never Stops

Editorial Board WSJ, Dec. 5, 2024 “The report essentially blesses Hamas’s strategy of using human shields.” From the people who brought you “Israeli apartheid” comes another trendy smear: “Israeli genocide.” With a new report Wednesday night, Amnesty International assures its good standing in the anti-Israel herd. The price is to swallow an inversion of reality. Amnesty poses […]

Israel and the International Criminal Court’s Threat to the U.S.

Gol Kalev WSJ, Dec. 5, 2024 “The ideological assault on Judaism is also a proxy for an assault on America. It aims to check U.S. military and economic might, by creating another global power base: “legal might.”” The International Criminal Court’s arrest warrants against Israeli officials are part of a rapidly expanding attempt to negate […]

ICC Arrest Warrants and the Unacceptable Weaponization of International Law

Robert Williams Gatestone, Dec. 10, 2024 “Israel-bashing is a reliable way to divert attention and pressure. For Mr. Khan it brought acclaim from the left, which dominates international legal circles.” On November 21, the International Criminal Court (ICC) issued arrest warrants for Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, and, apparently […]

Daily Briefing: WHEN IT COMES TO ISRAEL, INTERNATIONAL BODIES REDEFINE GENOCIDE

“They really want to find Israel guilty of genocide, hey? Even if it means entirely redefining genocide. Even if it means setting fire to decades of jurisprudence on this gravest of crimes. Even if it means sacrificing truth itself. No price is too high, it seems, in the zealous crusade to single out the Jewish […]

Turkish-orchestrated Attacks on Kurds Also Threaten Israeli Interests

/

Yaacov Lappin JNS, Dec. 16, 2024 “It’s a commitment of the international community towards those who fought bravely against ISIS. It’s also a commitment for the future of Syria, because the Kurds are a stabilizing force in this country.” Intensified assaults on Kurdish-held regions in northeast Syria in recent days by a Turkish-backed umbrella group […]

Having outplayed Russia and outsmarted Iran, Turkey is reinvented from Syria revolution – opinion

/

Amotz Asa-El Jerusalem Post, Dec. 13, 2024 “Turkey thus emerges from the Syrian revolution geopolitically reinvented.” The drama is intense, and the losers are obvious: Russia, Iran, and the Syrian tyranny in which they invested so much treasure, energy, and prestige. The Assads and their fate hardly warrant a discussion. This column warned already in the […]

Turkey’s Syrian Jihadists Take Over Syria: Kurds, Half a Million Christians Under Intolerable Threat

Uzay Bulut Gatestone Institute, Dec. 16, 2024 “Opposition groups leverage their Turkish financing and military support to wage campaigns of religious and ethnic cleansing in Afrin.” The Assad family’s rule of Syria, which lasted more than 50 years, collapsed on December 8. Jihadist forces took control of Damascus after President Bashar al-Assad escaped to a […]

Israel’s New Fear: From Shiite to Sunni Jihad

/

Nadav Eyal Ynet News, Dec. 14, 2024 “This has left the U.S. in a peculiar position: two NATO allies, the U.S. and Turkey, are pursuing completely opposing goals in Syria.” Iran’s proxy strategy—the network of operatives it built against Israel—once seemed effective and intimidating. But it turns out that slain Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah’s “spiderweb” […]
