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 […]

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 […]
Seth Mandel Commentary, Aug. 15, 2024 “Essentially, Mideast regional diplomacy is a relic from another era.” On the surface, it makes sense that Amos Hochstein spent the lead-up to this week’s ceasefire negotiations in Lebanon. Hochstein, a presidential advisor on energy, is also President Biden’s envoy to most multi-party negotiations involving the U.S. and Lebanon. Hezbollah […]

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 […]
