Israel’s war against terror goes beyond the Middle East

Numerous Israelis have now given their lives for a cause that directly aligns with American interests.

Hamas goes full ISIS, and some still call for Israeli restraint

Their actions bear a horrifying resemblance to the atrocities committed by the Islamic State, whose infamous online videos in the mid-2010s as a means of psychological warfare rocked the West to its core.

No one should be blindsided by Palestinian antisemitism

Mahmoud Abbas’s recent rant and the reactions to it crystalize that for too many, the subject matter is nothing more than a phenomenon to be ignored.

Iran’s cyber offensive

The American and Israeli people must not be exploited as pawns in covert political warfare.

‘Days of Hate’ and ‘Days of Rage’ are not so different

Antisemitism must be fought tooth and nail, regardless of where it comes from on the political spectrum.

The Democratic Socialists of America’s civil war over BDS

Lesson learned? Even among radicals, the most militant BDS-ers are simply too unpredictable, uncompromising and unruly to cooperate with in the political arena.

Will the ‘most-read’ human-rights story of 2021 continue in 2022?

Apartheid claims against Israel promulgated by pro-Palestinian NGOs drive a narrative that is reflexively embraced by the media, and promoted by some politicians and government officials.

They attack Jews online like they do in the streets

Facebook must stand steadfast in the face of an anti-Zionist, anti-Semitic campaign and ensure that Jews aren’t targeted by euphemisms and fancy wordplay.

Amnesty International must translate words into action

Why the meek response when it comes to Tehran? And why go through all the work to write an 80-page report on Iranian human-rights violations just to urge a toothless inquiry?
