Did Sinwar give the order?
Regardless, the Ayatollah had ample reason to change course and try to engage with the U.S. and avoid possible punitive U.S. actions, military and or economic. But it may be too late.

The generals, the left’s political leaders and the rioters in the streets are all playing the roles the Hamas chief assigned them.
By Moshe Dann
Why reward terrorists with a State? Why, then, since nearly all Palestinians reject the 2SS, is it still relevant – and why is the claim constantly made that there is “no alternative?”

In spite of all they had suffered and endured, they held on to their hope and resilience. In spite of all they had lost, they were determined to rebuild.

It wasn’t only the illusions of Jews in Israel that were shattered on Oct. 7. Many Jews around the world had built their Jewish identity on the mission of creating a more just and perfect society – the program of tikkun olam.
These radical viewpoints suggest that a Harris Administration will express hostility towards the Jewish state and American Jews who support Israel.
Basic to the scheme is a compliant mainstream media that will not obsess over covering a presidential candidate who is, well, a virtual automaton – even though reporters and journalists would rather have the opportunity to verbally engage him (or her).

The modern Orthodox world (Yeshiva University, Touro, Skokie and other institutions) has long ago made its peace with secular learning. Even Ner Yisrael offers a program with Loyola University. But most of the yeshivish veldt is still wrestling with this issue.

In the annals of Israeli military history, a persistent myth has long influenced strategic thinking: the notion that the Israeli public is hypersensitive to military casualties.

[T]he likelihood of Iran launching another attack against Israel in retaliation for Haniyeh's assassination appears to be receding, not least because Tehran is well aware that, in any major military confrontation with Israel, it will inevitably be the loser.

Iran now knows that its nuclear facilities are vulnerable should Israel be determined to finally take them out now that Iran is reportedly close to building a nuclear weapon, with President Biden’s promise to not let that happen no longer operative.
When Kamala Harris took up the mantle of the Democratic Party’s nominee for President, she lost no time in reinforcing doubts Jews have about her.
If the policies fairly reek of success, why are the Democrats and their media amen corner doing somersaults to discredit the notion that Ms. Harris was the appointed“border czar, that is, in charge of the Biden Administrations’ efforts to control our borders?
After October 7 everything changed, and suddenly Tisha B’Av feels more real and more relevant than ever. Darkness has once again cast its shadow over Jewish history.
Rather, for every women’s sport, every school will be forced to demonstrate, in each case, the risk of a ‘sports-related injury’ in order to prevent the participation of males.
