Tobin JNS, Jan. 15, 2025 “But as much as Israeli citizens and decent people everywhere will rejoice if any of the hostages are freed as a result of these negotiations, the motivation here seems to be primarily one of optics before the inauguration and start of a second Trump presidency.” For most supporters […]

Caroline B. Glick JNS, Jan. 5, 2025 “What was most notable about Blinken’s admission is that he didn’t appear to believe that there was anything wrong with the policies he imposed on Israel.” Liri Albag, one of five female IDF soldiers still being held hostage in Gaza, was the subject of Hamas’s most recently released […]

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 […]

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 […]
Jon Polin Israel from the Inside, Aug. 20, 2024 “There is war, there are reserves, there is Lebanon and there is Iran. The hostages? “It’s complicated,” and they choose not to speak.” Barely a few weeks into this war, back at the end of October or the beginning of November, we had most of our […]
