In today’s cancel culture and pervasive campus antisemitism, couldn’t they reasonably have believed they would be hounded out of office by aroused and cynical students always on the lookout for a rallying cause?

The Satmar view, on the other hand, is hardly opposed to Jewish presence in Israel.

Notably, the resolution was primarily driven by the allegedly large number of civilian casualties in Gaza that Hamas claimed to have occurred – never independently confirmed and without any analysis of the impact of Hamas’ policy of using human shields.

Almost immediately following the deadly attack, and particularly after Israel’s declaration of war on Hamas, mass riots and rallies in support of Hamas sprung up all over the West. Iran’s information warfare machinery was in high gear in the United States and elsewhere.

On December 4, the Iran-backed Palestinian terror group Hamas announced the establishment of a new terrorist group in Lebanon....Hamas, in short, is saying that it is planning a similar invasion of Israel, but this time from Lebanon.

So far, the Biden administration has appeared unwilling even to entertain the thought of addressing Hamas's patron, Iran.

With regard to Lebanon, U.S.-Israel relations are on a collision course.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has every reason to welcome Sunni Arab immigrants.

Jewish students are being subjected to bullying acts intended to intimidate and harass them because of their actual or imagined support for Israel. Thankfully, there are legal tools available which can and must be used to assert and defend their civil rights.

It’s a crazy time to be a Jew.

Unfortunately, over the past several weeks, we have witnessed way too many adults and parents who have taken the liberty to discuss and describe in detail to one another the gruesome details of the October 7th massacre in the presence of their children and other children.

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.

When wars are run by politicians, the end result is a defeat that comes from never really trying.

The vast difference between how Paul Kessler’s killing and the wounding of the Muslim men were treated is a microcosm of the political bias and media narratives.

The very fact that I now clearly see what we stand for. I saw it before, but for some reason, since October 7, rather than feel ashamed to be a Jew, I feel even prouder.

On Oct. 7, some of the most fervent believers in peace with the Palestinians were reduced to ashes. Does he think Israel will now force 100,000 Jews to leave their homes in Judea and Samaria to create Hamastan?

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.

To be sure the implicit admonitions are routinely accompanied by a reiteration of Israel’s right to take Hamas out after Oct. 7 – although that sentiment appears to get more perfunctory with each saying.
