“If Trump’s going to replace appointees like Hegseth, he should do it while he can still get the replacements confirmed in the Senate,” Rep. Thomas Massie stated.
“The original plan to honor John Galliano, after his horrific record of antisemitism and hate, was a divisive choice and antithetical to the values of our city,” the speaker of the New York City Council told JNS.
Francesca Albanese, a U.N. special rapporteur, is “passing that off as if it were the legitimate standard that countries, including Israel, should recognize,” Brian Cox, a former U.S. Army military lawyer, told JNS.
“Excluding states that may not be ‘commonly seen as democracies’ risks shutting IHRA out of the very places where its mission is most in demand,” the U.S. envoy on Jew-hatred wrote.
Netanyahu’s Likud remains Israel’s largest party, the opposition lacks a clear path to power, and an enlarged Arab bloc complicates coalition arithmetic. With Trump backing Netanyahu and Iran still on the agenda, another election could carry high strategic costs.
The country’s next government will depend on whether its political leaders can reconcile their competing commitments, or whether voters will again be asked to resolve a deadlock that negotiations could not.
The rout of the GOP by a party now dominated by “progressive” and antisemitic foes of the Jewish state will impact the alliance as well as American Jewish life for the worse.
“If the case is successful, if we’re able to come to a successful resolution of this matter, that will be what you might call the soil out of which CCJ will grow,” Rabbi Gary Zola, founding president of the College for Contemporary Judaism, told JNS.
“They want to make sure that nobody else dares to put principle ahead of party,” Alyza Lewin, of the Combat Antisemitism Movement, told JNS. “That’s why I think they’re being particularly nasty.”
“We Iranians have no better friends in this world than the Jewish people and will always unapologetically stand with them,” Fred Saberi, an Iranian activist in Sweden, told JNS.

The deal involved changes to Basic Laws that may have been necessary in these political circumstances. But any country tinkers with longstanding constitutional arrangements at its own peril.
The High Court of Justice effectively seized control of another branch of government, in flagrant violation of legislation that the court itself deems constitutional. Once the coronavirus crisis ends, a full-blown court-Knesset war will be unavoidable.
By prosecuting Israel, the International Criminal Court has essentially said there’s no point even trying to uphold the laws of war because as the court interprets them, they are incompatible with self-defense.
Israel’s High Court created the problem that drove tens of thousands of voters into Benjamin Netanyahu’s arms. The result could be a government willing to enact legal reforms that the court bitterly opposes.
The U.N. anti-Israel blacklist asserts that the most basic essentials—food, water, transportation, communication—raise “particular human rights concerns.” But if every human activity is a “human rights concern,” then nothing is.
The Trump administration’s Mideast proposal is the first real attempt to give Israel what that resolution promised more than 50 years ago—borders that are not only recognized, but secure.
Visceral hatred of Israel is common even in countries with which it has peace treaties. Not only does this hinder peacemaking, but it creates a real risk that treaties won’t survive an autocrat’s fall.
Millions of Israelis are willing to vote for a possible criminal because they see it as their only chance of curbing the legal establishment’s takeover of Israel’s democracy.
Most people don’t care that much about Israeli-Palestinian issues, so small groups of committed activists can exert a disproportionate influence on policy.
There’s a straight line connecting leftists’ rejection of the settlements’ legality with rightists’ rejection of the indictments against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
