Benjamin Netanyahu WSJ, Oct. 30, 2023 “It means holding Hamas accountable for the double war crime it commits every day by deliberately targeting Israeli civilians and deliberately using Palestinian civilians as human shields.” Until recently, many believed that the promise of progress in the 21st century would enable us to move beyond the barbaric horrors […]

Joel Kotkin UnHerd, Oct. 31, 2023 “… as protecting Jews increasingly becomes less of a priority, the very nature of Jewish identity will evolve with it.” It is a warm Monday morning in Rome, and the city’s ancient ghetto resembles an armed camp. As carabinieri line the streets, a cloud of melancholy hangs in the air: not […]
Suzy Weiss and Francesca Block The Free Press, Oct. 31, 2023 “When you look at the political right you see a group that seems very comfortable with Jews in Israel and very uncomfortable with Jews at home. And when you look at the political left, you see a group that seems very comfortable with Jews […]

John Podhoretz NY Post, Oct. 26, 2023 “Why do you think the marchers are meeting near Crown Heights anyway? This is why. Their purpose isn’t to call for a cease-fire or to advocate for the Palestinian people. Their purpose is to make known what October 7 made known: There will be no peace or security […]
Brendan O’Neill Spiked, Oct. 22, 2023 “I’m sure Hizb ut-Tahrir, a cult so extreme it is banned in Germany, Saudi Arabia and Pakistan, a cult that referred to Hamas’s invasion of southern Israel as ‘a day of good news,’ was using the word jihad in the peaceful sense. Maybe its call for Muslim armies to commence […]

Abu Yehuda, Oct. 29, 2023 “Possibly civil control can be rested in the Arab clans that are powerful in the various areas of the Gaza Strip; but there will be no alternative to an IDF presence to provide overall security and prevent an extremist takeover.

SHABBAT READING When Peace Fails: Psalm 120: Prof. Adele Berlin, The Torah.com, Oct. 26, 2023 — In these troubled times we often look to psalms to express our feelings and to find hope. Psalm 120 seems especially relevant now. It begins by calling on God for protection from the deceptive speech of the speaker’s enemies: שיר המעלות קכ:א שִׁיר הַמַּעֲלוֹת […]
Konstantin Kisin The Free Press, Oct. 22, 2023 “The reaction to the attacks—from outwardly pro-Hamas protests to the mealy-mouthed statements of college presidents, celebrities, and CEOs—has exploded the comforting stories many on the center-left have told themselves about progressive identity politics.” When Hamas terrorists crossed over the border with Israel and murdered 1,400 innocent people, they […]
Jacob Howland UnHerd, Oct. 16, 2023 “Theologians have long understood Evil as an absence or privation: complete separation from God. But while mere absence is inert, Evil is as potent and contagious as certain deadly viruses” After the Holocaust, academics and others tried to make sense of the murder of six million Jews. Historians […]

CAIR AT WORK The Hamas Network in America: A Short History: Lorenzo Vidino, Program on Extremism at George Washington University, October 2023 — Hamas supporters have long operated in the United States. Internal Hamas documents and FBI wiretaps introduced as evidence in various federal criminal cases clearly show the existence of a nationwide Hamas network engaged in […]
Aleks Phillips Newsweek, Oct. 23, 2023 “Expressing support for Hamas is different from being actively involved in the organization’s international network, which according to the GWU study, has largely been blocked in the U.S., but nevertheless continues in a diminished form.” Hamas backers “have long operated in the United States” and they “are […]

Michael Oren WSJ, Oct. 22, 2023 “Only by destroying Hamas can Israel secure our borders and deter our enemies. Only when we have freed ourselves from the threat of Hamas barbarism can we begin restoring our faith in our governing institutions and armed forces. We can believe, as we once did, in the idea of Israel, […]
