I learned about it on the radio on the morning of November 4. Palestinian protesters in Toronto were planning to hold a rally in front of the U.S. consulate on University Avenue, one of the city’s main thoroughfares, on that Saturday afternoon. Advertised as the largest demonstration of its kind in Toronto since the October […]
Nations are sometimes compelled to fight for their very existence. Since the October 7 massacre of 1,400 Israelis and foreigners at the hands of Hamas, Israel has been fighting an existential war against a cruel enemy in the Gaza Strip. It is a war that could change the political landscape of the Middle East. Poland […]
Several days before Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah was due to deliver his first speech on Israel’s current war with Hamas, commentators were abuzz with speculation that he might foolishly announce an escalation of Hezbollah’s low-intensity conflict with Israel along the Lebanese border. On November 3, much to Hamas’ disappointment, Nasrallah lowered the temperature, in accordance […]
To Israel’s detriment, global public opinion is shifting toward the Palestinians, nearly one month after Hamas ignited the fifth and most destructive border war in the Gaza Strip. Israel garnered a great deal of international sympathy in the wake of Hamas’ brutal attack on October 7, which claimed the lives of 1,400 Israelis and foreigners […]
Over the past decade, the Israeli government cultivated and nurtured cordial bilateral relations with Russia and China, two authoritarian states that have been at odds with the United States and the West in recent years, and that were hostile to Israel prior to the 1990s. The Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, was the preeminent proponent […]
Good riddance to Craig Mokhiber! And shame on Cori Bush! These two craven individuals have revealed themselves as contemptible Hamas apologists. Mokhiber, the New York director of the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, resigned on October 31 in protest over the current Israel-Hamas war in the Gaza Strip. In his […]
It is virtually axiomatic. Whenever Israel is engulfed in a major conflict with the Palestinians and a significant number of them are killed, there is invariably an upsurge of antisemitism outside the region. To cite but two examples, Israel’s invasion of Lebanon in 1982 and the outbreak of the second Palestinian uprising in the West […]
Israel’s reconciliation process with Turkey has taken an enormous hit as the war in the Gaza Strip escalates. In the last few days, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has described Hamas as a “liberation organization,” accused Israel of being a “war criminal” state, and cancelled his forthcoming visit to Jerusalem. In harshly condemning Israel for […]
Three weeks after Hamas terrorists murdered 1,400 Israelis and foreigners in southern Israel in the most audacious and devastating terrorist attack since Israel’s statehood, the Israeli armed forces have finally stormed into the Gaza Strip. On November 27, Israeli armored columns, supported by air cover, plunged into northern and southern Gaza. The Israeli government has […]
The current humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip can be primarily pinned on Hamas, the rejectionist Palestinian organization whose bands of amoral terrorists slaughtered 1,400 Israelis and foreigners in southern Israel on October 7. In ferociously responding to this massacre, the worst single attack on Jews since the Holocaust and Israel’s darkest day since statehood […]
