Red Cross, Gaza
Opinion
The Red Cross abandoned its mission in Gaza
At most, it served as a middleman in hostage releases—a courier, not a defender of human dignity.

Names of Oct. 7 Victims
Opinion
For hostage families, there’s no such thing as closure
It’s more about the beginning of a lifetime of learning how to keep walking—by putting one foot in front of the other—when the world has stopped.

Opinion

London at Night, United Kingdom
Opinion

Opinion
When Senate Democrats side with Hamas over Israel
The Merkley resolution on Palestinian statehood ignores terror, weak governance and decades of failed promises—at Israel’s expense.

United Nations Headquarters, New York City
Opinion
Another UN resolution, another exercise in futility
From 1947 to today, every chance for Palestinian statehood has been rejected. No declaration in New York will change that reality.

Opinion
From Munich to Tehran to Doha: Israel’s unbroken doctrine of justice
It is the continuation of a policy rooted in the Olympics’ massacre in 1972: Israel will reach its enemies, wherever they hide.

Gaza Humanitarian Foundation GHF
Opinion
Calling the war a ‘genocide’ is a blood libel, not scholarship
A group of activists masquerading as scholars has rushed to brand Israel with history’s darkest crime.

Ayyat al-Akhras
Opinion
Why glorifying martyrdom undermines Palestinian statehood
Their society cannot move forward if its leaders encourage that the highest honor isn’t learning, creating or building, but killing or being killed in the service of a political struggle.
