Israel Needs a Decapitation Deterrence Doctrine
President Trump recently stated on Truth Social that he has already directed the U.S. military “to fire one thousand missiles” and sustain operations to decimate and destroy Iran if the Mullahs assassinate him. This position stems from Israel’s intelligence...

The power of an embrace
It’s truly a beautiful thing when we observe a custom that is universal among all Jewish communities. When we conclude the public Torah reading of parashat Mase’ei and move on from the book of B’midbar we will all chant...

Arab Clan Violence Corrodes Israel’s Rule of Law

Hamas Disarms for Cameras, Kills for Power
