A.J. Caschetta Algemeiner, Dec. 25, 2024 “One of the greatest differences between the coverage of the hostages held in Iran 45 years ago and of the hostages in Gaza today is that no one was on Iran’s side then, while many are on Hamas’s side today.” On November 4, 1979, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini’s henchmen stormed […]

SHABBAT READING Power from the Outside or Self-Restraint from Within: Shoftim 5771, 5784 – The Rabbi Sacks Legacy — This summer, we’ve seen riots on the streets of London and Manchester on the one hand, Tripoli on the other. On the face of it there was nothing in common between them. In London the […]
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 […]
Liel Leibovitz Tablet, Sept. 5, 2024 “#BringThemHomeNow demonstrates just how hollow and inflamed Israeli public discourse has become. 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. Many did. Highway 4, the […]

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 […]
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. The Hamas leaders see the ongoing tensions between the Biden administration and the Netanyahu government as an encouraging development. It has long been the dream of Hamas and […]

Brendan O’Neill Spiked, Aug. 23, 2024 “The commentariat’s reluctance to hold Hamas responsible for anything, even its own wicked deeds, is getting scary now.” A bizarre debate has blown up. All over social media, people want to know: who’s responsible for the deaths of the six Israeli hostages whose bodies were discovered by the IDF in […]

Yaakov Lappin JNS, June 9, 2024 “The scale of the rehearsals was as large as the [1976] Entebbe operation—[in terms of] the models we used, as well as the way in which we trained, and we had to make sure that everything was done simultaneously,” he said. Saturday’s hostage rescue operation in central Gaza could not […]
