Nothing has provoked such a division of opinion as the current Israel/Gaza war – on the background to it, its execution and its resolution. Today we publish two considered but different perspectives on these issues and the necessary or inevitable conclusions each leads to. MANY years ago Dean Inge, a great Anglican priest and scholar, summarised the case against pacifism […]
The most likely answer to the title question is, “Probably not.” But Bibi Netanyahu has been under a great deal of domestic pressure to get the rest of the hostages home and a new offer for Hamas has been put on the table. A two-month ceasefire and the release of an unspecified number of additional […]
A pair of terrorists from the West Bank went on violent spree in central Israel today. The two men used both stolen cars and knives to attack people at random in the city of Raanana. The attack took place just as schools were letting out and unfortunately several of the injured were children. Israeli police […]
I was dreading the day that this might happen, but I suppose it was probably inevitable. After holding the line for 100 days, it appears that Joe Biden has succumbed to pressure from within his own party and started to walk away from our stalwart ally Israel. The statement from the White House yesterday wasn’t […]
I HAVE got used to being ‘cancelled’ for my views opposing the official covid narrative (see here, for example). But now it appears that I am being cancelled purely because I have dared to talk about my support for Israel following the atrocities carried out by Hamas on October 7. This is a subject in which […]
The man believed by many to be the mastermind behind the 10/7 attack on Israel is Yahya Sinwar. Sinwar spent 22 years in an Israeli prison after he was convicted in 1989 of killing Palestinian informants and plotting the death of Israeli soldiers. He might still be there except that in 2011 he was released […]
As you’re probably aware by now, the International Court of Justice at the Hague is hearing arguments this week in a case brought by South Africa against Israel. South Africa has accused Israel of committing genocide in Gaza and is asking the court to demand an immediate ceasefire. Critics have compared South Africa’s actions to […]
One of the more disturbing facts about public schools–and let’s face it, almost all facts about our public school system are disturbing–is that foreign governments and Left-wing nonprofits now design a good chunk of the curriculum. Planned Parenthood provides curricular support. The United Nations does. China does. And, in this case, Qatar is doing so. […]
The day will come when Pennsylvania Senator John Fetterman returns to the form we feared in 2022. Thankfully, today is not that day. Our friend Salena Zito interviewed the junior senator from the Keystone State last week and has followed Fetterman’s political career for quite a long time, since they’re both from the same part […]
Yesterday, Secretary of State Antony Blinken flew to Turkey to begin a series of meetings intended to prevent further escalation of the current conflicts in the Middle East. (And what could possibly go wrong if we have Winkin’ Tony Blinken on the job, right?) Meanwhile, officials in Israel seem to be sensing that Joe Biden’s […]
