John Spencer Modern War Institute, Oct. 11, 2023 “… urban warfare presents challenges that extend well beyond the tactical level. On top of these are several that will challenge Israel’s efforts at the operational and even strategic level.” Shortly after a Hamas assault that produced the deadliest day Israel has suffered in decades, Israel declared […]
David Kilcullen Foreign Affairs, Oct. 23, 2023 “Urban combat is slow, grinding, destructive, and horrendously costly in human life.” Although the details are still difficult to predict, it seems very likely that Israel will mount a land invasion of the Gaza Strip in the near future. If and when that happens, the campaign will […]

ENOUGH BLAME TO GO AROUND Canada Faults Hamas for Gaza Hospital Blast, But Trudeau and Joly Remain Oddly Quiet: Michael Higgins, National Post, Oct. 22, 2023 — Is it expecting too much to hope that our prime minister and foreign affairs minister will act in a fair, principled and impartial manner?

Theodore Dalrymple City Journal, Oct. 12, 2023 “… the barbarians are within the gates.” The sight of thousands of young people in London celebrating the massacres that Hamas committed in Israel unsurprisingly made many people’s blood run cold.

SHABBAT READING Hero or Zero?: NOACH • 5767, Rabbi Jonathan Sacks, The Rabbi Sacks Legacy — Noah is one of the most tantalising figures in the Torah, and nowhere is this more evident than in the first and last glimpses we catch of him in the sedra that bears his name.

Tom McTague UnHerd, Oct. 20, 2023 “At the heart of all these claims lies the same grim conclusion: that Israel itself is illegitimate, a settler state which should be wiped off the map as if it were some kind of Levantine Rhodesia.” “Great wars in history eventually became great wars about history,” wrote the […]

Lt. Col. (res.)

They believe this to be a continuous jihad that is not limited in time.” On May 2, 2011, […]
Caroline Glick JNS, Oct. 16, 2023 “By embracing Qatar as an ally rather than punishing it for its central role at all levels of Hamas’s terror infrastructure, the administration is breaching international law, yet again. It is also betraying Israel.” On Sunday, U.S. President Joe Biden, Secretary of State Antony Blinken and National Security […]
Walter Russel Mead WSJ, Oct. 16, 2023 “The cynicism of Iran’s mullahs and their enablers is, in the end, the most shocking. Set aside the Israeli casualties and the blood of innocent Jewish children.
