Iron Keys
Opinion
The key that locks Palestinian society in the past
When children are taught that their future lies in a stranger’s house in Haifa, why invest in building their own future in Ramallah or Gaza?

U.S. Coast Guard
Opinion

Justice abroad: When Washington prosecutes terrorists ... and when it doesn’t
If an American citizen is murdered abroad and the mastermind or material co-operator remains free, what does that say about U.S. willpower, alliances and selective enforcement?

Judea and Samaria
Opinion

Turkey, Turkish Flags
Opinion
Why Netanyahu is right to reject Turkish and Qatari involvement in Gaza
Allowing either country to participate in Gaza’s reconstruction or security arrangements would be like asking the arsonist to help rebuild the house he burned down.

Schumer
Opinion

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

Opinion
Indict and extradite: How America can bring justice to terrorists who murdered citizens

Huwara
Opinion
Danger ahead: What the West Bank’s red signs say about peace
From murdered motorists in Huwara to the Palestinian Authority’s vow of a Jew-free state, the message is clear: Coexistence cannot begin where exclusion is policy.

London at Night, United Kingdom
Opinion
Domestic terror at a Manchester synagogue wasn’t an isolated incident
Britain’s open-door migration, unchecked radicalization and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s recognition of a Palestinian state created the conditions for tragedy.
