Yonah Jeremy Bob Jerusalem Post, Apr. 14, 2024 “… one does not need to entirely eliminate a facility to render it useless. A repeated series of strikes could block Tehran’s access to electric power, bury its entrances and exits, and cut it off from the world.” Iran took its best shot (or a very […]
Jamie Dettmer, Gabriel Gavin and Christian Oliver Politico, Apr. 14, 2024 “He can either go for the head of the octopus, which is Tehran, arguing we have the legitimacy to do so now. Or he can say to the Americans: We understand that you don’t want us to escalate with Iran and we are ready […]
Emanuel Fabian, Times of Israel, Apr. 14, 2024 “Unlike the drones and cruise missiles, the ballistic missiles were shot down over Israel, leading the IDF to activate warning sirens over fears of falling shrapnel.” Sirens and explosions were heard nationwide in Israel early Sunday morning as Iran launched a wave of more than […]

SHABBAT READING Not What Happened But What Should Happen Now: Rabbi Yuval Cherlow, The Torah.com, Mar. 26, 2015 — Why do we even celebrate days of commemoration?[1] A careful look at the Torah demonstrates that our goal is not to return to the past but rather to bring the past to us. These are not archaeological holidays […]
Benny Morris NY Times, Apr. 11, 2024 “… the spectacle of Israeli weakness — as much as a Rafah offensive — could tempt Hezbollah to gamble on a full-scale war.” Unfortunately, Benjamin Netanyahu is right — “unfortunately,” I say, because he is the most incompetent, corrupt and divisive Israeli prime minister ever, as many […]
John Spencer and Liam Collins WSJ, Apr. 9, 2024 “There is no historical evidence that commando raids or a series of precision strikes have defeated a deeply entrenched urban defender.” The Biden administration is keeping the pressure on Israel not to invade Hamas’s final stronghold, in Rafah. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said last month that such an […]
Shay Khatiri Middle East Forum, Apr. 10, 2024 “It is diplomatic narcissism for Blinken to believe that the Islamic Republic shapes its policies in reaction to the United States.” Speaking at the World Economic Forum in Davos on January 17, 2024, Secretary of State Antony Blinken argued that a Palestinian state would bring security to the […]
