Naveh Dromi Ynet News, Sept. 3, 2024 “… at no point, from the first deal onward, were we ever close to signing an agreement for the hostages’ return. It was never on the table except in the fevered imaginations of a few who even the events of October 7 didn’t wake from their delusions.” Even […]
Bret Stephens NY Times, Sept. 3, 2024 “Once Israel leaves Gaza, international pressure for it not to re-enter for nearly any reason short of another Oct. 7 will be overwhelming.” Since the days of Abraham — who, according to Genesis, rescued his nephew Lot after he’d been seized by an invading army — Jewish tradition has […]

To whom, exactly, is this exhortation addressed?” Tens of thousands of protesters were swarming the streets of Tel Aviv on Sunday, calling on all restaurants, bars, and shops to shutter in solidarity.

Matti Friedman The Free Press, Sept. 1, 2024 “But as for the real person—the grinning raconteur from that dinner table—we heard nothing for months.” Last September I had dinner with Hersh Goldberg-Polin at his home in Jerusalem, which isn’t far from mine. His parents are friends, Chicago natives who came years ago and stayed. […]
Brendan O’Neill Spiked, Sept. 1, 2024 “Here’s the only question that matters right now: are Jewish lives worth fighting for? Some of us think they are. Others, from the top of politics to the frenzied anti-Semites on the streets, seem to think otherwise.” The discovery of the bodies of six Israeli hostages in a tunnel in Rafah […]
Melanie Phillips Substack, Sept. 3, 2024 “They’ve thrown Israel under the bus at the moment that it’s fighting for its life under a seven-front genocidal onslaught from Iran and its proxies. The British punished Israel for defending itself on the very day it was burying its war dead.” Almost at the very moment yesterday that […]
Bassam Tawil Gatestone Institute, Sept. 3, 2024 “Hamas leaders are banking on the Biden administration to compel the Israeli government to give in to the terror group’s demands.

Colonel (res.) Prof. Gabi Siboni JISS, Aug. 22, 2024 “Hamas’ control over humanitarian aid gives it breathing room and maintains its influence and power among the population.” After ten months of fighting, many ask why Hamas has not yet been destroyed yet?, and the full achievement of the war’s objectives has yet to be realized.

Michael Oren The Free Press, Aug. 15, 2024 “Hamas head Yahya Sinwar wants nothing more than a regional conflict that would draw the remaining Israeli troops from Gaza and vastly increase international pressure on the Jewish state.” For more than two weeks, Israelis have been waiting for war. Immediately after the July 31 assassination of […]
