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 …
Israelis who live on kibbutzim, for the most part, are left-wing, which in Israel means they are against settlements, what they call “occupation” and believe every sacrifice of land is worth it to obtain a lasting peace. But no more. After October 7, most of them no longer believe peace is possible with Gaza. The …
President Biden has been lambasting Israel about the need to tamp down settler violence against Arabs. But there is no comparison between Arab violence and settler violence.

French Jewish community leaders and European Jewish organizations are trying to get authorities to investigate. It’s hard to imagine …

Once Biden gives in to Iran’s wishlist, the money will be there to complete the aims of its nuclear arms program. The goal, of …
Israel had yet another defensive war in response to several Islamic Jihad terror attacks. The war, dubbed Breaking Dawn by the IDF, began after last week’s column and today is already over, with a ceasefire brokered by Egypt.
