The Air Force remains Israel's spear: fast, precise, deep, decisive. Nothing replaces it. But Israel's next depth is not in the sky. It is at sea. Israel's vital border is no longer only a fence, a river, a ridge, or desert. It is the Mediterranean - airspace, surface, and seabed – through which run its […]

In my media interviews, I am often asked: "Has Israel become the 51st state of the US?" With half a smile, I answer: "If only. American states have far more freedom and room to maneuver than Israel does." This situation is hardly new. Ever since President Dwight D. Eisenhower demanded that Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion […]

The executive order signed by President Donald Trump to accelerate research, evaluation, and responsible access to innovative treatments for severe mental health conditions, including psychedelic-assisted therapies, places the field of mental healthcare at a critical crossroads.

The day before yesterday, we went through an extremely difficult 24 hours. Hezbollah escalated the fighting: Several explosive drones entered the moshav and detonated, exactly five minutes after the school bus had returned the children from school to the stop and they had dispersed to their homes. It was only by a miracle that we […]

Over the weekend, Washington once again issued a statement about extending the "ceasefire" with Lebanon by another 45 days. Once again, there were declarations, once again attempts to project a calmer reality. But anyone living in Kiryat Shmona, Metula and the communities along the confrontation line knows the simple truth: There is no ceasefire here. […]

After decades of being folded into broader understandings of antisemitism, antizionism is now increasingly regarded as a distinct form of anti-Jewish bigotry, with its own language and logic. Instead of casting Jews as non-white pollutants corrupting European societies, it recasts them as the inverse: hyper-white invaders of non-European lands. It replaces 'international Jewry' with…
As the United States approaches its 250th anniversary, the country is preparing to reflect on its founding ideals: equality, service, and freedom. In that reflection, some of the most important questions are not about what is celebrated, but what was never fully corrected in the historical record. "The First World War was not merely tragic. […]

On the most recent Yom Kippur, when reports of the deadly terrorist attack at Heaton Park in Manchester reached Israel, they were categorized as "foreign news." Two Jews were murdered at the entrance to a synagogue by a radical Islamist, and in Israel it was seen as a terrible tragedy that had happened "over there," […]

"Do American Jews really care?" This is a question that has haunted us over the past two months. No one questioned American Jewry's commitment and concern for our brothers and sisters in Israel after October 7th. We rallied, marched, packed bags, went on missions, and sent more money than ever to causes big and small; […]

There is a specific kind of arrogance that only grows in places that have not seen a war in eighty years. The weekend revolutionaries in the West, chanting for liberation from a safe distance of four thousand miles, have lost any connection to reality.

President Donald Trump's surprise early Wednesday announcement of a ceasefire with Iran does not represent a victory for either side, whatever claims may be made in the days ahead. The real winner is one major nuclear-armed player: Pakistan. Islamabad, which has recently faced significant diplomatic challenges and limited standing on the world stage, now finds […]

While rage over the cruel massacre of January 8th still burns in the hearts of Iranians, the Iranian regime has this week pulled another card from its arsenal: 12-year-old children. The announcement of opening the ranks to young children to join and support the "war effort" is not merely evidence of operational desperation; it is […]

Not a Gulf War. A European warning No briefing note. Iran's response to the US-Israeli war is not escalation. It is a transformation: a regional conflict into a direct assault on energy lifelines. Retaliation disabled facilities across Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the UAE, Bahrain, Kuwait, and Iraq. Missile waves continued. Infrastructure remained vulnerable. This is not […]

The notion of overthrowing hostile regimes and replacing them with pro-Western, ostensibly moderate alternatives has long been embedded in Western and Israeli strategic thinking. In the current Iranian context, it is frequently argued that the collapse of the Ayatollahs' regime would lead to a fundamental transformation in Iran's foreign policy – most notably, a reduction […]

Following the Six-Day War in 1967, hundreds of thousands of Palestinians moved into Jordan. Palestinian terrorist organizations soon began launching a variety of terrorist attacks against Israel. Gradually, these organizations acquired an autonomous status within the kingdom, creating what amounted to a "state within a state." At the same time, Palestinians – who constituted a […]

Editor’s Note: In a widely read letter to Mike Lee, the U.S. Senate Chairman on Antritrust, Competitive Policy and Consumer Rights, James Cameron argued that “a sale of Warner Bros Discovery to Netflix would be a disaster for the theatrical motion picture business.” Actor Mark Ruffalo wondered if Cameron should have also spoken against “the […]
