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 […]

A DAY LIKE NO OTHER WATCH: Einat Wilf on Israel, Antisemitism and a New Middle East / The Macdonald-Laurier Institute, Oct. 2, 2024 — The Macdonald-Laurier Institute hosted an insightful and timely conversation between two leading voices on global issues – Einat Wilf, former Knesset member and expert on Israel’s foreign policy, and Casey Babb, Senior Fellow […]
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 […]
Melanie Phillips Jewish Chronicle, Oct. 6, 2024 “… there’s simply nothing Israel can do to defend itself adequately that will gain the approval of the so-called civilised world. Simply, the west doesn’t want Israel to win. It wants to leave the Jewish state indefinitely twisting in the murderous wind.” We are living through a seismic […]
Devastating Toll AP and Tol staff Times of Israel, Oct. 5, 2024 “As long as the war is still continuing, there’s no way to feel calm, to return to our lives. We still have the hostages there. We still have nightmares. There’s no end.” Lilach Almog walks past the remains of a police station seized by Hamas terrorists […]
Bret Stephens NY Times, Oct. 4, 2024 “American Jews should not expect reciprocity.” American Jews were aware, before the pogrom of Oct. 7, 2023, that antisemitism was once again a problem in our collective life. We were aware, if we belonged to a synagogue or worked out at a local Jewish Community Center or sent […]

Martin Sherman JNS, Sept. 23, 2024 “A perverse concern for Hamas’s demands—and the welfare of their malign adherents—is now not only dominating the debate on the fighting in Gaza but also largely determining attitudes toward the negotiations on the release of the abductees held in captivity by the Islamist thugs.” We will tear down the […]

Citation de la semaine: « Le Hamas n’est plus une « formation militaire » organisée dans la bande de Gaza en raison de l’opération militaire israélienne en cours depuis onze mois, déclenchée par le pogrom du 7 octobre perpétré par le groupe terroriste palestinien, a déclaré lundi le ministre de la Défense, Yoav Gallant, à des journalistes étrangers.
