To Prime Minister Albanese:

It's not the guns, it's the people aiming them

By calling for stronger gun control instead of owning up to his incitement and failure, Australia’s Prime Minister made a mockery of himself and exposed his disconnect on the global stage. Opinion.

Canadian Prime Minister Carney bows down to terrorism

Does promoting a Palestinian Arab terror state constitute support for Israel or is it exactly bowing down to terrorism? Op-ed.

The architecture of true peace:

The sovereign path forward

Iran’s regime panics

As Argentina files charges, Iran’s regime panics at home. Opinion.

The friend of my enemy

Qatar, our enemy, has infiltrated the highest levels of the American government and it should be sobering for us to realize the outsized influence Qatar now has on American foreign policy, including Trump’s pronouncements.

The Israel Democracy Institute abandons both Israel and democracy

The think tank has veered far from its original mission and namesake not because of its funders, but in spite of them. Opinion.

A third term for Trump?

US Jews must be the loud voices saying: The Constitution matters

Trump says “I’m not allowed,” and Johnson says “there’s no path,” so why did a Jewish donor broach the idea of bypassing constitutional limits and allowing a third term for the president? The statement and resulting backlash could not have come at a worse time. Opinion.

Morton A. Klein:

The problem with the policy of ‘diverse viewpoints’

If all assessments and opinions in the broad Zionist tent should be taken seriously, then that’s what it means: all views, on both the left and right. Opinion.

The need for disciplined theory

Reduced to its essentials, a worst case scenario for Israel would commence with progressively explicit warnings from Moscow or China about new Israeli preemptions against Iran. Opinion.

A Hanukkah celebration without the fine print

From Israel, I don’t look to America for reassurance. I look for clarity.

The trojan horse of Islamist immigration

Islam has taken over. They did it to themselves, over there in Europe and Australia. Is America doing the same? Opinion.

It's not a children's story

Hanukkah does not celebrate violence. It rejects illusion. It reminds us that light does not survive on intention alone. The light survives because someone is willing to protect it. There is no automatic happy end. Opinion.

Giulio Meotti:

The West surrendered to barbarians and now war is in the streets

This madness is only the appetizer before the entree of a suburban caliphate under whiich Sydney will become Sidnei al-Islam. Opinion.

Aliyah as a response to Bondi Beach?

Diaspora Jewry should at least be talking about aliyah. They should be discussing the positive reasons for moving to Israel, the problems and their solutions. Now, while it is not the only choice. Opinion.

A message to all Jews:

We must fight like warriors to defeat Israel-hating news media

The newsrooms of the unfriendly foreign media operate with an anti-Israel religious fervor, and it is no longer possible to expect reporting from them that will be anything except biased and untrue. While we might not be able to convince the leftist media to listen to us, Israel certainly does not have to assist them when they seek to harm us. Opinion.

What is the future of the IDF's long range strike force?

What could have happened had we had a large number of YKJ-1000 HGVs (see below) at our disposal during the Iran 12 Day War? I ran a simulation and the results were astounding. Opinion.

Europe is over:

Agony in the mouth of a boa constrictor

Gary Willig:

Sydney: From ‘where’s the Jews’ to dead Jews

There is a clear line from the chants of “where’s the Jews” in October 2023 to the slaughter of Jews just a few miles away in December 2025. Opinion.

How to prevent the next attack:

More restrictive gun laws won't stop terror

Australia can respond by tightening screws on people already following the rules. Or it can respond by dismantling the networks and ideologies that produce terrorists. Opinion.

BDS 1939:

The disappeared assets of gassed Jews

The Holocaust did not begin with murder. It began with accountants. Jews were first destroyed economically, banks cooperated, and no one else interfered. Today's BDS is a macabre echo. Op-ed.

The Bondi Betrayal:

While the West slept, the wolves gathered

This wasn't just a tragedy; it was a receipt. It was the bill coming due for years of Western complacency, bureaucratic cowardice, and a suicidal tolerance for the intolerant. Here's an example: Why is the Iranian ambassador still in Canberra? Op-ed.

Far beyond from "The River to the Sea"

Let's tell it like it is: It's from the Atlantic to the Medirerranean to the Pacific to the Tasman Sea. Op-ed.

Hanukkah after Bondi:

A flame the killers couldn’t put out

A message to the Jewish Community and others who care: The miracle of Hanukkah was never really about oil. It was the refusal to let the light go out.

Giulio Meotti:

The Australian Pogrom: a wake-up call for the entire West

People weep, but multicultural tears do not wash away the blood shed by radical Islam which is taking advantage of the political cowardice of those who are too innocent to recognize evil when it does not wear the uniform of a cartoon villain. Opinion.

Terror in Australia:

Who is to blame?

Is it just a coincidence that there has been so much antisemitism in Australia during the same period that the Australian government has been turning against Israel and tolerating local pro-Hamas activity? Opinion.

The Australian Massacre & Shani Louk:

Shani Louk was murdered on October 7, let us respect her memory

The Australian Massacre makes it even more shocking that a New York building is suing Rabbi Shmuley Boteach for honoring my murdered daughter Shani. Opinion.

Hamas assets overseas:

Voluntary liquidation of Hamas' assets in Turkey can rebuild Gaza

The clean, fast, and practically politically viable path if there is a genuine transformation in Gaza.

The Cognitive Trojan Horse:

Why Trump’s vetting shift is the West’s only defense

You cannot vet an idea, and you cannot fingerprint a theology. This is precisely why the Trump administration’s overhaul of the vetting apparatus is not merely a policy shift, but an existential necessity. Opinion.

Giulio Meotti:

Welcome to the West's self-cannibalization

"Decolonized" Xmas is one where the Nativity is a Eurocentric narrative that hides the “real” Jesus who, if he were here today, would join a “from the river to the sea” demonstration. Opinion.

Melanie Phillips:

The humanitarian front against Israel

Mass murder has been branded as conscience to mess with people’s minds. Regarding UNRWA, a U.S. State Department official called it a “corrupt organization with a proven track record of aiding and abetting terrorists.” Not so the UK. Opinion.

INTO THE FRAY:

Strange bedfellows in hate: From Carlson to the Caucasus

One of the issues causing grave concern for the future of the GOP is the troubling rise of antisemitism within certain sectors of its constituency. This story is a wild flight of hateful imagination. Opinion.

Trump’s Outreach Op. dysfunction Is costing Republicans elections

A whistleblower alert: President Trump must order a full review of outreach operations, liaison performance, communication failures, gatekeeping abuses, and community engagement strategy. Opinion.

From Cairo to Texas:

The Muslim Brotherhood’s war on Israel comes into focus

Texas and Florida have realized that the Muslim Brotherhood is not a misunderstood “social movement.” It is the ideological mothership of some of the most dangerous anti-Jewish and anti-Western groups on earth. Opinion.

An open letter to Paul Simon:

From one Queens kid to another-you got this one wrong

The "Storage" Doctrine:

Hamas’s proposal is a blueprint for Lebanonization, not peace

Dr Moshe Glick and the Face Act

A law that can change the situation at American synagogues - dramatically. And you can help. Opinion.
