Joe Biden WSJ, Apr. 17, 2024 “… if Iran succeeds in significantly escalating its assault on Israel, the U.S. could be drawn in. Israel is our strongest partner in the Middle East; it’s unthinkable that we would stand by if its defenses were weakened and Iran was able to carry out the destruction it intended […]
Israel Kasnett, JNS, Apr. 17, 2024 U.S. President Joe Biden’s “Don’t” warning to Israel’s enemies didn’t work. Iran attacked Israel directly, and its Lebanese proxy Hezbollah continues to fire rockets at Israel on a daily basis. In fact, Biden’s “Don’t” strategy has never worked. It wasn’t taken seriously by the Taliban in 2021, or […]

Yigal Carmon JNS, Apr. 26, 2024 “Indeed, almost no one was hurt—but Israel’s deterrence was struck down by Washington’s coordination with Iran. Israel’s deterrence was sold out to save Iran’s.” To understand what happened in the Middle East overnight Saturday, one has to go back four years to the killing by the United States […]

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 […]
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 […]
Sherelle Jacobs The Telegraph, Apr. 8, 2024 “… the historic evidence is that military muscle can play a vital role in breaking faith in the fatally seductive idea that lurks behind all terrorist movements.” The view that Israel has embarked on a doomed Achillean killing rage in Palestine has become received wisdom in Western polite society.

Pablo Manriquez New Republic, Jan. 12, 2024 “Standing with Israel and thinking that we should have a secure border, I don’t know why either one of them is controversial.” All life evolves, even that of U.S. senators. John Fetterman is no exception, even if the junior senator from Pennsylvania insists he hasn’t changed a […]
David Horovitz Times of Israel, Apr. 2, 2024 “The single greatest victim of the war has been the word “genocide,” which has lost the moral force that it once commanded. Our language has become so degraded.” Congressman Ritchie Torres’s first trip abroad, ever, was to Israel — as a newly elected 26-year-old member of […]

Shirit Avitan Cohen Israel Hayom, Mar. 26, 2024 “The Biden administration had felt compelled to show a tougher hand on Israel for electoral purposes, but Israel sees this move as a way to appease progressive voters on the backs of the captives and Israelis living in border communities.” There has been no shortage of […]
Sean Durns Washington Examiner, Mar. 25, 2024 “Militarily, Israel has been winning its war against Hamas. Defying its critics who predicted that Jerusalem would get bogged down in a protracted war, the Israel Defense Forces have made rapid advances and incurred far fewer losses than some, including policymakers in Washington, expected.” The Biden administration declined to […]
