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 doddering, muttering, angry and seemingly confused man […]

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. When our president said something either outrageous or unfathomable, the public was to assume that it was intemperate to attribute his failures to senility.” […]
Gerard Baker WSJ, July 1, 2024 “But now, 42 months (and 81 years) in, it is going horribly wrong. Much of his party has no use for him anymore. 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 […]

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. But it was clear to them that this war should have two conditions: first, there will be no distinct Iranian signature; second, it will be difficult and long […]
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 […]
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 […]
Seth J. Frantzman Jerusalem Post, June 26, 2024 “Overall, the pattern is clear. Iran is operationalizing these multiple fronts against Israel. In some areas, the groups claim success; in others, it is unclear if the claims match reality. For Iran, the claims are what matters. They want to show they are backing Hamas in Gaza.” […]

“The group has an arsenal of 200,000 rockets and missiles, a fleet of deadly drones, roughly 1,500 precision-guided munitions, and well-trained fighters.

That would certainly spark a civil war, […]
Jonathan Spyer, Middle East Forum, June 24, 2024 “Despite the efforts of both the US and France, progress in this area has been elusive. Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah has made clear that his side is not currently seeking all-out war.” Tensions on Israel’s northern border are currently at their highest point since the outbreak […]

Yoni Ben Menachem Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs, June 24, 2024 “Nasrallah’s goal is to ground Israeli aircraft to prevent them from conducting missions in Lebanon against mid- and long-range missile launchers.” Hizbullah, under the leadership of Hassan Nasrallah, is coordinating with Iran to open a new front against Israel in the Mediterranean Sea. The […]
David Daoud and Jonathan Schanzer The Dispatch, June 20, 2024 “… the international community’s fixation on futile deals has only whetted Hezbollah’s appetite for violence.” Let’s not mince words: The Middle East is on the precipice of the most destructive war of the region’s modern history. This war did not begin on October 7. It actually began […]
