Against the U.S. failure to combat terrorism in Iraq and Afghanistan, Israel manages to not only battle a constant terror threat, but also to thrive.
Arab society was violent, tribal, patriarchal and oppressive long before the advent of Zionism, the establishment of the Jewish state and the “occupation” of Judea and Samaria.
Addicted to the fake notion of maintaining “peace and quiet,” Israel’s political echelon and judiciary have gone from acting in the public’s interests to doing that which looks best in the media.
Those who have lamented that Israel is in a constant state of crisis must acknowledge the tremendous strides it has made, however incremental and temporary they may be.
Washington might not be as dependent on the Middle East as in the past, but the region is still an important strategic position for the superpower.
Hezbollah, Hamas and the Iranian regime are radicals, even when they act pragmatically.
Israel must not fall for the illusion of a long-term diplomatic arrangement with Hamas.
Every Israeli national security official now has to prepare contingencies for a multi-front war in which Israeli Arabs join the fighting against the Jewish state.
Hundreds of millions of Hamas dollars went down the drain during the Gaza conflict. The effects of this military campaign run deeper than you might think.
Although the current conflict was forced on Israel and it would have been better had it not erupted, the Jewish state has the opportunity to make lemonade out of the lemons.
Israeli society must persevere via its unique blend of multi-generational stamina and liberty, creativity and constructive focus that give meaning to this life.
America’s enemies smell blood and are responding, as expected, with provocations.
