Should We Be Concerned By Trump’s Executive Order?

The vast majority of Jewish groups welcomed the executive order, but several far-left Jewish leaders suggested that the classification of Jews as members of a nation – rather than adherents of a religion – is both inaccurate and potentially dangerous, as hostile governments and others around the world may use it to isolate Jewish communities, arguing that Jews are a nation unto themselves and cannot be considered part of their host countries.

Saudi Arabia and Israel: Who Needs Whom?

Extreme instability and mistrust are heightening tensions in the Persian Gulf, especially between Shiite Iran and Sunni Saudi Arabia. America’s appetite for military engagement has waned after nearly two decades of war and the region lacks any form of collective security framework, leaving a considerable security vacuum. The Gulf states’ overtures to Israel are part of an effort to salvage America’s security commitment to the area while shoring up a relationship that can mitigate Tehran’s rising influence.

Who is Better: Shmuel the Prophet or President Trump? Look to Yiftach...

Donald Trump the individual, has many flaws, and we should never look to him as a paragon of moral clarity or as a model of moral behavior for any of us. Donald Trump, our US President, has achieved a remarkable amount of good in just three years and we should all be most grateful for that.

Distortions in the Fight Against Antisemitism

Partisanship, “progressive” politics, legal pretexts, anti-Israel sentiment, and community divisions hamper the effort to combat surging Jew hatred. The “fight” is also a distraction from even more-urgent battles: keeping Jews Jewish and keeping Israel safe.

Palestinian Arab Volunteers in the British Army in WWII: A Reality Check

A recent study recounts the purportedly unknown story of Palestinian Arab volunteers fighting the Nazis during WWII. Haaretz used this finding as an opportunity to mock PM Benjamin Netanyahu, who has pointed out that the Mufti of Jerusalem was a close ally of Hitler. Yet the Mufti’s position as “the most important Arab Quisling” is indisputable, while most of the study’s conclusions are dubious and inconsistent with historical facts.

The New European Initiative for Palestinian Statehood

Getting Iran Out of Syria: The Dayan Formula

In a recent press conference, Defense Minister Naftali Bennett presented a goal for IDF activity in Syria: “To cause Iran to give up its attempt to entrench itself in Syria.” Unlike the common tendency toward ambiguity in defining strategic objectives, Bennett dared pronounce a clear and measurable goal. But is the goal he presented achievable? And is it right to declare a strategic goal in that way?

It’s Time for Europe to Stand with the Iranian People

How Should the Senate Deal with an Unconstitutional Impeachment by the House?

These two grounds [of impeachment] — abuse of power and obstruction of congress — are not among the criteria specified for impeachment. Neither one is a high crime and misdemeanor. Neither is mentioned in the constitution. Both are the sort of vague, open-ended criteria rejected by the framers. They were rejected precisely to avoid the situation in which our nation currently finds itself.

A Non-Aggression Agreement between Israel and the Arab Countries

The United States is trying to assist Israel to reach an agreement with four Arab countries that will eventually lead to full normalization with them.
