How do you take a teacher, a doctor, a plumber, and a student and turn them into an army?... In particular, how do you do this when just a few weeks earlier they were marching against each other in opposing factions down the streets of Tel Aviv and Jerusalem?

So far, the Biden administration has appeared unwilling even to entertain the thought of addressing Hamas's patron, Iran.
Since the war, most foreign workers have returned to their home countries, while Palestinian Authority workers are not allowed to enter Israel for security reasons.
What the lack of an immediate Israeli victory has done is convince the Jew-haters who were always there that it is safe to come out and say what they really think.
Doctors and paramedics from the IDF’s Special Tactics Rescue Unit 669 continue with rescue activities from the Gaza Strip.

Israeli intelligence failures – particularly those leading to the failure to warn of a large-scale attack, as suffered by Israel in the Hamas attack of October 7, 2023 – are typically followed by the creation of investigative committees that scrutinize intelligence processes, highlight gaps and vulnerabilities, and recommend mechanisms to prevent future failures. But without a profound cultural shift within the intelligence organization and its personnel – specifically, the integration of humility into the organizational DNA – these mechanisms will not deliver the desired outcome.

Since World War II, most American Jews have believed that the more secular American society is, the more secure their status. This has been, as I have argued all of my life, a colossal error.

The ‘Two-State Solution’ is not an end to violence, it’s perpetual violence.
Hamas takes human shields to a new level.
Westerners assume that the Palestinians seek a future of prosperity and freedom and peace because that is what they aspire to preserve for themselves. But this isn’t the case.

Let me repeat: We are not sub-humans," said Riyad Mansour, the Palestinian Authority's representative to the United Nations, after the sub-human atrocities inflicted on innocent civilians in Israel by his fellow Palestinian Arabs.

It’s the moral duty of the IDF to fulfill the promise of NEVER AGAIN.
“We are here for the Jews, we came to kill them with knives and shoot at them.”

A decade ago, in 2013, I published an article with Professor Ephraim Inbar entitled “Mowing the Grass.” In it, we explained the Israeli rationale behind various rounds of conflict in Gaza.
