J.D. Vance and the Myth of the American-Made Israel

At San Remo iin 1920, the Arabs were not dispossessed of a state in Palestine. There was none. They were granted multiple states across the region. The Jews, by contrast, were allocated one small territory-their historic homeland. Historical review.

Bennett's dangerous delusions

It seems as if Bennett does not begin with principles and build a coalition around them. He seems to begin with the coalition he wants and works backward until he has manufactured the principles to fit it. Opinion.

The questions begin where the memorandum ends

For families like mine, skepticism toward Iranian promises is not a political position. It is the product of lived experience. And my skepticism must be proven mistaken, if indeed it is. Opinion.

When a civilization goes mad, it starts killing Jews

Let's face it: Canadian antisemitic incidents leading up to the Côte-des-Neiges shooting are typical of the West today while the shooter's deranged manifesto could have been written by any number of Jew-hating future murderers. Op-ed.

Check under the bed for Jews

The Jews are monsters. Ask Mamdani. And monsters must be stopped whenever they appear - when they hold real estate events, when they pray, when they go to school, and when they buy a cup of coffee. For coffee is evil when a monster drinks it. Op-ed.

Amine Ayoub:

The parallels between Morocco and Israel are impossible to ignore

With the Western Sahara stalemate and Morocco-Algeria tensions, UN Momentum meets persistent proxy risks. Morocco, much like Israel, learned that yielding to international pressure or relying on endless peace processes only emboldens rejectionists. Op-ed.

Nadia Matar at JNS Conference:

The media minimizes University of Michigan's 'Student Intifada'

Like Hamas, they long for intimidated and ultimately dead Jews, both in "48" (as they sometimes call Israel) and throughout the world, which is what "Globalize the Intifada" means. Their vandalism and violent threats are "free speech" to the NYT and Washington Post. Opinion

J.D. Vance wants the Jews to keep quiet

Vance is not the first political leader to lose his temper because somebody, somewhere, criticized a policy of his. And when it is the Jews, public shaming is par for the course. But today, US Jews and Israelis are not the obedient vassals they were once. Opinion.

Who should be learning instead of serving?

Torah study does not justify broad exemption from military service, except possibly for a small number of elite scholars.

Giulio Meotti:

There’s little to celebrate when the West gets a beating

Between Trump’s defeat in Iran and European mediocrity, there is little to be cheerful about. Especially while the West demands of Israel that it wage a war without war and neutralize its enemies without fighting them. Opinion.

Time for the US to open its eyes:

The post-Khamenei war:

Inside Iran, a war has already begun and the US has no strategy

Increasingly, the institutions shaping Iran’s future are not seminaries, religious councils or traditional clerical networks. They are military organizations, intelligence structures and security elites. America is negotiating with the previous Iran. Opinion.

Anti-Christian harassment in Jerusalem defiles God's Name

Jewish power is supposed to be restrained by Jewish memory. The vulnerable and foreign person should not be humiliated. That this has been documented in Israel is reprehensible, even if minor compared to Christians persecuted and slaughtered in other parts of the world today. Opinion.

Dear Mr. Vance:

This is exactly the situation you kill your way out of

When the situation is an armed, ideological movement whose founding charter, broadcasts, and decades of terror announce that its purpose is to cross your border and murder every Jew it can reach, then killing your way out is the only proposal that can work. Op-ed.

Egypt’s Regional Shakedown:

Gaza reconstruction and the fragile facade of the Sisi Regime

Sisi has long played a double game with Hamas. When he needs to look vital to Washington and Jerusalem, he acts as the stern mediator. When he wants to pressure Israel, the borders mysteriously become porous. Opinion.

Israel must outgrow the aid argument

Israel should not apologize for receiving American military assistance. It was not a handout thrown into the wind. It helped produce one of America’s most capable allies. But Israel should also be confident enough to say that the relationship can mature. Opinion.

Trump’s astonishing betrayal of Israel’s security imperatives

Perhaps the biggest betrayal of all is that the administration increasingly appears to view Israeli military actions not through the lens of Israeli security needs but through the lens of how those actions affect US negotiations with Tehran. Opinion.

Jack Engelhard:

A Bible lesson for boycotters:

Every product purchased from Judea and Samaria, every order placed, every investment made, is a direct repudiation of a boycott built on the premise that Jews are trespassers in their own homeland.

Giulio Meotti:

Will Europeans be a minority in lands built by their ancestors?

In Europe, political leaders - “leaders" here is a figure of speech - massively imported a foreign population with a culture that cannot assimilate and without asking themselves whether the graft would take. It didn't. Opinion.

Will Europeans be a minority in lands built by their ancestors?

The "deal":

Trump’s chaos and incoherence have led to failure on Iran

Analysis:

Buying time for Tehran, not peace for the Middle East

If the same regime survives with the same ideology, pursuing the same long-term objectives, it is reasonable to ask whether the agreement solved a problem or merely postponed it for a time.
