Dr. Dan Dyker Jerusalem Center for Public Policy, Aug. 8, 2024 “These methods of misinformation are part of a trend of mobilizing and exploiting advanced “perception warfare” alongside Iranian-backed Hizbullah and Hamas terrorism, which has intensified since the October 7, 2023, attack on Israel.” Hamas’s cognitive war against Israel since its October 7 invasion has […]
David M. Weinberg MSN, Aug. 3, 2024 “Israel’s strategic goals have become too limited in recent decades, hamstrung by the failed Oslo peace process with Palestinians and the failed Obama peace process with Iranians.” October 7 (Hamas’s invasion of Israel) and April 14 (Iran’s missile attack on Israel) demand that Jerusalem free itself from stale strategic paradigms.
