Israel & Zionism

The IDF and the Home Front Are Weary, and a Military Offensive Against Hezbollah Won’t Defeat the Terror Organization

The episode does not alter the essential elements of the picture regarding Israel’s ongoing confrontation with Hezbollah on its northern border.

The Ramifications of the Attack, However Warranted It Was, Go Far Beyond the Middle East

The Visibility of Ties with Bahrain, Morocco, and the UAE Has Changed Since Hamas’s Attacks on October 7, but Israel’s Newest Arab Partners Remain Committed to Strategic Choice

A reckoning between Israel and the Lebanese terror group Hezbollah appears to be only a matter of time.

From the very start, it has been obvious that the goal of ending Hamas rule in Gaza, and the objective of freeing the Israeli hostages, were contradictory.

The actions of the International Criminal Court’s Chief Prosecutor, Karim Khan, will deprive Israel of its sovereignty and undermine the West’s defence against terrorists and despots.

I recently witnessed something I haven’t seen in a long time. On Friday, August 16, 2024, a group of pro-Hamas activists packed up their signs and went home in the face of spirited and non-violent opposition from a coalition of pro-American Iranians and American Jews. The last time I saw anything like that happen was in 2006 or 2007, when I led a crowd of Israel supporters in chants in order to silence a heckler standing on the sidewalk near the town common in Amherst, Massachusetts. The ridicule was enough to prompt him and his fellow anti-Israel activists to walk away, as we cheered their departure. It was glorious.

The Palestinian mentality is genocidal rejectionism, while on the Israeli side, the mentality is conciliation. Both are unique, and both have failed.
