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. But then within a half-hour, the press […]

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 […]

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 […]
Shany Mor Mosaic, Oct. 7, 2024 “In this essay, I’ll review four interrelated categories of flawed thinking in four expanding circles of blunder.” One year ago today, an armed force of at least 3,000 men managed to penetrate a hostile border, overrun fixed and mobile defenses, commandeer army bases, and occupy for long hours a […]
Cecile E. Kuznitz Jewish Review of Books, Fall 2024 “The fact that Israelis experienced such horrors meant that October 7 was not just a security failure; it shattered a fundamental promise of Zionism.” The October 7, 2023, Hamas massacre left Israeli society reeling in ways with which it has yet to come to grips. The […]
Adrian Humphreys and Ari David Blaff National Post, Oct. 5, 2024 “There was a giant inverted red triangle painted on the welcome sign. That is a known symbol for literally killing Jews, it means, ‘this is a target, kill Jews here.’ That was it for me. I was done.” The soaring brick façade and sparse […]

Brendan O’Neill Spiked, Oct. 5, 2024 “… clearly, a judgement would need to be made before solidarity could be offered. Are these Jew Jews or Zionist Jews? Are they a little too proud of their Jewish identity, which might smack of Jewish chauvinism, and too supportive of Israel?” Imagine if the Battle of Cable Street took place […]
