On Israel’s warm welcome for Elon Musk
Our leaders rolled out the red carpet for the man whose platform sends ‘Hitler was right’ tweets to Israeli users

Keep the Holocaust out of your anti-Israel arguments
If you believe Israel desecrates the memory of the six million, I can say with confidence that if they were alive today, you’d hate them too
Alan Shatter
As if Israel simply woke up one morning and chose to attack Gaza
A grotesque, fact-free letter by 620 Irish academics accused Israel of ethnic cleansing and genocidal violence

Freedom of speech is not freedom from accountability
My fellow university presidents should quit cowering behind free speech claims and condemn campus hate
Yonatan Cohen
There’s no shortcut to redemption
The trials of the Jewish nation are not fair: Some get more than their fair share, and some must fight for a crumb, but that is how we build
Michael Oren

Anti-Semitism and the Ideology of Oppression
Something hasn’t seemed right: the young people tearing down posters, the mobs vandalizing Jewish businesses and threatening their customers, the justice-minded student protesters who seem so completely uninterested in Hamas’ hideous cruelty. Yes, it’s anti-Semitism, and that is enormously...

Middle East Chronicles: A Jewish-Israeli Insight into Hezbollah’s Games
Sitting here, in the heart of Israel, watching the grand theater of the Middle East unfold, I can't help but smile skeptically. Consider this: Hassan Nasrallah, the conductor of Hezbollah, in an Oscar-worthy performance, declares support for the resistance...

Saudi Arabia’s Strategic Move: Gaza’s Transition

The Middle East War and Campus Newspapers
In covering the craziness on our university campuses, part of the story is how the campus newspapers are covering and reporting controversial events on campus. This also applies to the demonstrations and events surrounding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The highly...

Russian Missiles Almost Destroyed Israel in 1973 — And Saved Ukraine Today.
When Arab armies invaded Israel 50 years ago, they were armed to the teeth with Russian-made missiles that almost brought the Israelis to the brink of defeat. But call it diffusion of military technology – or just old-fashioned payback. When...

Day 54 of The War: Even Without A Language
