My thoughts on politics.
Since October 7, Israelis have been conscious that war is fought not only in Gaza, with weapons but by Hamas undermining the psyche of the Israeli public with images and stories of the atrocities it committed and continues to commit. This psychological war aims to instill fear and anxiety among Israeli citizens and to create …
Nikki Haley, during her tenure as U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, demonstrated a strong commitment to Israel’s security and sovereignty. Her vocal support for Israel in international forums and her staunch defense of its right to self-defense earned her praise from many pro-Israel advocates. Additionally, Haley’s diplomatic approach often provided a more nuanced and …
Some 30 anti-Israel Harvard students went on a 12-hour-hunger-strike. Naturally, much laughter ensued. It made not a bit of difference for the people of Gaza. Not to mention, Jews fast longer than that on Yom Kippur every year, and we’re doing just fine, thank you. The New York Post wins the award for funniest comment …
Columbia University defended its invitation to Hatem Bazian to be the keynote speaker at its “Day of Dialogue” event. The Hamas-supporting Bazian is the founder of Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP). A professor at Berkeley, Bazian has called to dismantle Israel, and stated that “it’s about time we had an intifada in this country.” …
October 7 and the Hamas attack on the Jews had extreme repercussions outside Israel, for Jews everywhere. In America, in Europe, on and off campus. Protests abound, often violent, and always annoying to those inconvenienced by them, for instance, when protesters take to the streets and block traffic. There is only so much that can …
Is Hamas keeping women and children hostage to keep them from talking? State Department spokesman Mathew Miller suggests that this is exactly the case: “The fact that they continue to hold women hostages, the fact that they continue to hold children hostages, the fact that it seems one of the reasons they don’t want to …
With 39 hostages released as part of a ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas, Israelis waver between joy and concern. Joy because the release of hostages comes as a relief, especially in regard to small children, many of whom saw their parents murdered on that fateful October day. With 39 hostages released as part of …
On October 7th, Hamas terrorists crossed into Israel and massacred 1,400 men, women, and children in the largest attack since the Holocaust. Roughly 240 civilians were taken to Gaza, and with the exception of 5 captives, remain in captivity. Since that time, a tide of antisemitism has swept the world. Jewish people are living in …
Israelis protested against judicial reform on Saturday night. The reform is meant to curb overreach, as justices are by law, allowed to overturn any government decision they don’t like. Israel now has a right-wing government and the court is packed with left-wing justices. When the court overrules the decisions of this government, they are subverting …
US Ambassador Tom Nides said that Smotrich is stupid and he would throw him out of a plane. American officials say they won’t meet with him in Washington, and even AIPAC won’t meet with him. Meanwhile, Smotrich had no plans to meet with officials during his trip. “AIPAC’s declining to meet with Smotrich is particularly …
