Crystal Ball Time! Join Jonathan Tobin in guessing what will happen in the New Year.
In the past four years, significant funds, nearly $60 billion, have effectively been given to Iran's mullahs by the Biden-Harris administration.
Interestingly, The New York Times reports that four Iranian officials told them in telephone interviews that news of Mr. Nasrallah’s death cast a pall of shock and anxiety over senior officials who wondered in private calls and during emergency meetings if Israel would strike Iran next, and if Mr. Khamenei would be its next target.
As is well known, last week, pagers used by Hezbollah terrorists exploded, killing a handful of them and wounding hundreds more. Amazingly accurate, the exploding pagers killed very few noncombatants.
While there is a growing shelf of books and memoirs in Israel on the horrors of the war and its politics by Nova survivors, released hostages, soldiers, politicians, and journalists, outside of Israel, there are relatively few books – though there will be a burgeoning literature in the years to come.
Interestingly, except for the usual suspects who deny Israel’s right to self-defense in the face of thousands of rocket, missile and drone attacks from Hezbollah, I have to admit to being a bit surprised by U.S. comments on Nasrallah’s assassination.
“We’re talking about extortion, forcing Christians to pay protection money, burning houses and cars and kidnapping businessmen. Those are the tactics they use. The Lebanese government doesn’t do anything. It’s dominated by Hezbollah.”
Some of the judges also focused on the enormity of the penalties, noting that since there was no harm to anyone, it was hard to reconcile the size of the penalties which are typically tied to the size of the harm claimed.

In Six Weeks, Israel Has Eliminated As Many Wanted Terrorists as the US Has Done in the Last 20 Years
Unlike Russiagate, Irangate is real and has roots in the White House.
Every time one hears American and European political leaders insist that Israel embrace a two-state solution, a number of questions come to mind. Is this an attempt to appease their Muslim citizens, some of whom engage in violent protests against Israel? In the US, is it an effort by Democrat officials to demonstrate their fealty […]

Years spent fighting the war on terror and the “war between the wars” have influenced Israeli strategic thinking. Hezbollah is a military force, but the war is still being conducted as a series of counter-terrorism operations.
By Bassam Tawil
Hamas brought a nakba (catastrophe) to the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, Hezbollah is bringing the Lebanese people another.
I heard everything he said, but I can’t remember anything he said. I remember that he cried, but also that he laughed. He wore his emotions like a second skin, and despite his difficult life his default setting was happiness.
Yet, as time passed, the painful memories began to soften, making space for the joyful and vibrant ones to take their rightful place in her heart.
We have much to be grateful for. Our country is in capable hands, as the younger generation has met the challenges of this war with resilience and courage.
"Death to America" and "Death to Israel"

If you vote for Trump, hold your nose while doing so.
It occurred to me that there is a huge amount of laughter and giggling to be had from the current Presidential campaign, particularly from Team Harris. After all, there is so much that her campaign team requires her to say that is frankly ludicrous and no one would ever anticipate or expect …and that is exactly what makes folks laugh the loudest.
A security zone in south Lebanon will need to be carved out.
There is no legitimate way for Israel to take out a terrorist.

What happened to the steadfast support for Israel and the uncompromising stand against all forms of bigotry? Instead, we’re seeing antisemitism creeping in like ivy overtaking a once-sturdy wall, often disguised as anti-Zionism, anti-colonialism, or the trendy Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) movement.
By Aryeh Werth
In his speech, Friedman cited the Palestinian track record as a major reason why they cannot be permitted to have their own state. Palestinians got control of Gaza and quickly elected Hamas.

Suspect in Trump shooting attempt urged others to ‘finish the job’
The feelings of triumph are justified, healthy, and very moral.

Anyone who believes that the Egyptians would act differently if and when Israel withdraws from the border area must be living on another planet. If the IDF leaves, Hamas will swiftly return to the border, and the Egyptians will continue looking the other way.

Antisemitism at the UN's diplomatic headquarters on 1st Avenue is hardly new. What is new is the welcoming milieu of that headquarters itself.

Olmert and Al-Kidwa call for the Palestinian state to be "non-militarized" except for internal policing needs. The problem is that once it is recognized as a state, it will need no one's permission to build itself an army, such that this clause is essentially irrelevant.
His sticker bears the Hebrew words Don’t wait for them to ask, just help! encapsulating his essence as a caring, proactive individual.
While confused American Jews continue to vote overwhelmingly for Democratic candidates, in Israel it is the opposite. Israelis know what Trump did for them as president, and they greatly appreciate it.

And why did this massive leftward shift of young women occur?
Irrational and disproportionate hatred of Jews is nothing new. It is humanity’s oldest hatred... though ancient, antisemitism evolves with each generation, latching onto the shifting cultural narratives of the times.
The Staggering Hypocrisy of Starmer, Trudeau and Scholz
Is the threat posed by pro-terrorist, anti-Israel “protestors” not clear enough at this point to warrant more considered response by law enforcement agencies?

The Temple Mount, the Western Wall, the Church of the Holy Sepulcher – these are places of utmost importance to multiple religious groups, and they often give rise to bitter disputes and even acts of violence. The question of how to effectively govern and manage such sites is of paramount practical significance.
Your request to us Rachel was that hope is mandatory. Those words remained with me this entire year.

You asked about the American administration. Right after September 11th, they all agreed they must destroy Osama Bin Laden and Al Qaeda. And they did it. We must defeat Hamas if we want to survive.

As I walked somberly through the bustling beit midrash, tears welled up as I passed the seats once occupied by those who have fallen in battle.
Indeed, how could Iranian support have been arranged without Iran being a co-conspirator with the named defendants?

Sadly, many demonstrating in Israel today appear unaware that they are being used by Hamas; that they have walked into Hamas's trap: to force out a leader, Netanyahu, who is finally succeeding in defeating Hamas.
Te most plausible and discernible explanation for this global surfeit of Muslim Jew-hatred is also shunned: relentless inculcation of antisemitic motifs from the Qur'an itself, and other core Islamic texts,
The Israeli operation aims to prevent Iran and its Palestinian proxies from opening a new front against Israel from the West Bank.
Kamala Harris has helped fuel the current tsunami of anti-Jewish hatred by recycling the lies and blood libels against Israel spread by Hamas and its Western stooges since Oct. 7.
On that day of apologies what struck me was not who offered them, but who did not.
Israelis won’t forgive or forget the left’s weaponization of the hostages to do Hamas’s dirty work for it.
Over the decades, the traditional American cult of the individual as hero has lost much of its aura, being replaced by a new cult of the victim who is owed apology and compensation.
Enough is enough. I wasn’t going back to my earlier Millennial Silence.
For Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad, Israeli penitentiaries were “boot camps” where many of its members forged their ideology and commitment to the organizations during the years spent together with other inmates.
The start of the semester means a renewed surge of delegitimization of Zionism and open antisemitism.
The no exact change excuse is typical of people who break laws – they don’t blame themselves; in fact, they regard themselves as perfectly innocent.
The PA's failure to crack down on the "battalions" means that Iran now has a small army in the West Bank
Our ethical code is deeply woven into our identity as the people of G-d and is central to our Jewish mission. The fierce accusations of immorality leveled against us only underscore our historical mission of calling humanity to higher moral ground.
