The pro-Hamas protests are getting ugly, and we’re not just talking about the ones taking place on America’s university campuses. Small groups of protesters are spilling out into the streets and hunting down politicians who allegedly aren’t doing enough to stop the “genocide” in Gaza. One of the last politicians you might expect to see […]
Millions of Americans, depressed by the ideological divide in America, harbor a wish that something or someone can bridge this divide. This wish is understandable. But it is fantasy. The divide is unbridgeable. One might as well wish that daily consumption of a hot fudge sundae will […]
Speaking as someone who takes in a lot of news media, I’ve found the coverage of the October 7 terror attacks and the resultant ongoing war in Gaza to be a battle of divisive narratives. While many have credibly covered the atrocities committed by Hamas both on October 7 and in the aftermath, notable news […]
You’ve probably seen the breathless headlines emerging this week featuring Joe Biden suggesting that a ceasefire deal in Gaza was “close” to being finalized and that at least some hostages and prisoners could be exchanged. Most of us would likely be glad to see hostages coming home, so that’s good news, right? And Biden assured […]
Joe Biden has spent the past week talking publicly about his attempts to force Israel into a cease-fire with Hamas. He even made that part of his appearance this week on late-night television, and blamed Benjamin Netanyahu for its delay, and warned that Israel risked losing “international support” if it didn’t do more to end […]
One of the bigger questions we’ve been grappling with ever since the beginning of the Israeli counterassault in Gaza has been what the Strip would look like after Hamas is (hopefully) fully rooted out and destroyed. It’s a prickly question with no easy, obvious answers. Much of Gaza has been reduced to rubble and Hamas […]
While Israel’s allies ramp up pressure to allow the United Nations Relief Works Agency for Palestine (UNRWA) back into Gaza, Israelis have plenty of reasons to refuse. Since the October 7 massacre took place, the IDF has found evidence of coordination between UNRWA and Hamas, including communications, weapons storage, and even personnel. Israel revealed today […]
The moral confusion of our time is therefore not new. Almost 3,000 years ago, the Prophet Isaiah lamented, “Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter.” […]
As Ed pointed out over the weekend, talks between Hamas and Israel seem to have reached a breaking point. Hamas is demanding more aid for northern Gaza and Israel is demanding a release of all remaining hostages. Neither side seems to believe progress is possible at this point. But as of Friday, Joe Biden was […]
Looks like Benjamin Netanyahu’s not the only one involved in negotiations over the hostages that believes Hamas is “delusional.” Yesterday, Egypt’s foreign minister blasted the terrorist group from a podium at the Munich Security Conference for its delusions in refusing to deal in good faith. Sameh Shoukry also took aim at aid efforts that got […]
