Jonathan S. Tobin JNS, Jan. 15, 2025 “But as much as Israeli citizens and decent people everywhere will rejoice if any of the hostages are freed as a result of these negotiations, the motivation here seems to be primarily one of optics before the inauguration and start of a second Trump presidency.” For most supporters […]

Caroline B. Glick JNS, Jan. 5, 2025 “What was most notable about Blinken’s admission is that he didn’t appear to believe that there was anything wrong with the policies he imposed on Israel.” Liri Albag, one of five female IDF soldiers still being held hostage in Gaza, was the subject of Hamas’s most recently released […]
Editorial Board WSJ, Jan. 5, 2025 “More revealing is the Administration’s change in tune, especially since the U.S. election. Instead of continuing to complain about its failure to stop Israel, the Biden team has taken credit for Israel’s accomplishments.” Now he tells us.

A.J. Caschetta Algemeiner, Dec. 25, 2024 “One of the greatest differences between the coverage of the hostages held in Iran 45 years ago and of the hostages in Gaza today is that no one was on Iran’s side then, while many are on Hamas’s side today.” On November 4, 1979, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini’s henchmen stormed […]

John Aziz Quillette, Oct. 19, 2024 “To judge him by his own terms, 7 October was a colossal and humiliating failure.” When I first heard, the news hadn’t yet been confirmed: there were just swirling rumours that Yahya Sinwar, the leader of Hamas, had been killed in Gaza.

Brendan O’Neill Spiked, Oct. 17, 2024 “… there are consequences now to singling out Jews for special opprobrium and wicked violence. Do that today and you might very well die. Do that now and you might get your head caved in, as Sinwar did.” So Yahya Sinwar has been killed. The leader of Hamas in […]
J.E. Dyer The Optimistic Conservative, Oct. 20, 2024 “So Israel has to win, not just look for an excuse to “settle.” To invoke the framework of motives and methods laid out by Basil H. Liddell-Hart in his 1954 book Strategy, Israel has to seek a “better peace.”” In the aftermath of Yahya Sinwar’s death, it’s easy […]
Gary Willig Israel National News, Oct. 20, 2024 “It must also be remembered that all of the good that has been accomplished in the last month never would have happened if a ceasefire had been reached beforehand.” The month from September 17 through October 16 2024 may well be the most fateful and impactful […]

Mike Coté Providence, Oct. 7, 2024 “The Palestinian population largely supported the Hamas massacre and favor the terrorist group over its rivals.

CONSEQUENTIAL YEAR WATCH: Douglas Murray: A Time of War: The Free Press, Oct. 2, 2024 — When we planned the conversation you’re going to hear today—a live conversation with Douglas Murray—we thought it would be a searching conversation that we’d release on the anniversary of October 7th, looking back at a year of war from a slightly quieter […]
Daniel Gordis Jewish Review of Books, Fall 2024 “If we knew anything at all about Jewish history, why were we so surprised?” During one of many recent somber moments, with soldiers dying as Israel remained mired (if not eyeless) in Gaza, more than one hundred hostages still in captivity, almost one hundred thousand internal refugees […]
