Lt. Col. (res.) Dr. Shaul Bartal BESA Center Perspectives Paper No. 2,221, Oct. 17, 2023 “Hamas believes, like al-Qaeda, that the purpose of the Islamic caliphate is to fight the infidels and interlopers, led by the Jews. They believe this to be a continuous jihad that is not limited in time.” On May 2, 2011, […]

Walter Russel Mead WSJ, Oct. 16, 2023 “The cynicism of Iran’s mullahs and their enablers is, in the end, the most shocking. Set aside the Israeli casualties and the blood of innocent Jewish children. Those who claim to rule Iran in God’s name do not care how many Palestinians die in the service of their […]

Lee Smith Tablet, Oct. 17, 2023 “Open-source reporting shows that Biden officials knew for at least half a year that the Iranians were in planning sessions with their terror assets, Hamas and Hezbollah.” The continuing proliferation of conflicting and contradictory stories leaked by U.S. intelligence services regarding what they knew—and, more importantly, didn’t know—about […]

Salem Alketbi Israel Hayom, Oct. 11, 2023 “Opening several combat fronts against Israel at the same time is a scenario that was rehearsed and the Israeli side’s reaction to it was tested.” As an observer of the events, I find that Hamas’s invasion of several Israeli towns, while noteworthy, pales in importance compared to […]
Elliot Kaufman WSJ, Oct. 13, 2023 “They fire 2,000 rockets in one day. They’d never fired that many rockets at once,” Mr. Bob says. But it was all a diversion.” “I’m driving south to the Gaza corridor, the place Hamas invaded on Saturday,” Yonah Jeremy Bob says in our first phone conversation. “But it’s a straight […]
Caroline Glick JNS, Oct. 13, 2023 “For five days, Abbas had nothing but praise for Hamas and condemnations for Israel.” Last Sunday, senior Hamas terrorist Ali Baraka told the tale of how Hamas duped Israel and the U.S. into complacency. In an interview with RT (formerly Russia Today), Baraka said, “In the past couple of years, Hamas […]

David P. Goldman Law & Liberty, Oct. 11, 2023 “Hamas staged scenes of horror not seen in Western countries since the Second World War…. That is a deliberate instrument of war, not a mere eruption of pre-civilizational rage.” More than 1,000 Israelis died at the hands of Hamas terrorists on October 7, by far […]

David Horovitz Times of Israel, Oct. 11, 2023 “The more credible assessments are that the regime in Iran, avowedly bent on Israel’s elimination, did not work for years to arm, train and inspire Hezbollah without intending to activate it, come the day. It is also recognized that what plays out in the north may depend […]
Bari Weiss The Free Press, Oct. 10, 2023 “Now we know who would have looked at Jews shoved onto cattle cars and said, “Well, they did undermine the German economy.” Those are the people today saying: “This is a justified response to the provocation of Israel existing.”” At the end of the Second World […]
Gerard Baker WSJ, Oct. 9, 2023 “The terrorists’ objective is truly indiscriminate destruction. For them a dead Jew is a bonus, but a dead Palestinian is a trophy they can parade before credulous Western media to convey some supposed moral equivalence between their depravity and the actions of a beleaguered state seeking to preserve its […]

Alex Traiman JNS, Oct. 7, 2023 “The security failings raise the question of whether the Simchat Torah attack will be Prime Minister Netanyahu’s “Golda moment.”” Many questions and few answers abound as Israel has suffered its worst homefront attack, and perhaps its worst security and intelligence failure in the past fifty years. Instead of peacefully […]
Lilach Shoval Israel Hayom, Oct. 9, 2023 “… when the intelligence did not give any warning, even not a hint, the IDF top brass did not train the troops, did not order the deployment of Iron Domes, and this most serious incident caught most of the senior IDF commanders at home.” The Simchat Torah attack […]
