O how she sat alone: New laments for a beloved land
By
Tamar Biala
Ahead of Tisha B’Av, two October 7 survivors composed ‘kinot’ that place the recent horrors within the long history of Jewish tragedy
Michael Oren
Washington’s wavering support for Israel
Sharp shifts in American policy cast doubt over whether the US will have Israel’s back if it needs to preemptively strike Iran
Marc Sievers
Facing the Houthi threat: Time to stop playing defense
They are a member of Iran’s ’axis of resistance’ and claim to be at war with Israel and the US. That should factored into the US response
I’m grateful for what ‘might be our last normal day’
By
Shayna Goldberg
We’re Israelis: We make plans for next week even as we make jokes about the end of the world, because life is too precious to sit around waiting
Stephen M. Flatow
Getting a package to Tehran? Not a problem for Israel
The Jewish state has always hunted down the terrorists who harm its citizens. Why doesn’t the US?
Alex Lederman
Sleepwalking into a regional war
The hostage deal is nearly dead, in no small part thanks to Netanyahu’s duplicity. His indecision is an existential threat to Israel
As dangers loom, our ancestors give me strength
By
Rachel Sharansky Danziger
Our Jewish foremothers knew how to live through catastrophes, but how they would marvel at a Jewish state supporting us as we do the same
Eran Ortal
The world needs another ‘Don’t’ from Biden
Iran’s aggression by proxies and threats to escalate give the US president reason to show strength in the region and intimidate the Islamic Republic
Allen Selis
Bumper stickers for our fallen
The Coke machine is plastered, covered, shrouded with pictures, a short quote, and dates – each for an October 7 victim or a soldier killed since
An Italian Jewish family’s story rebuilt
By
Denis Passalent
When I discovered that a Jewish family once lived in my hometown, I tried to reintegrate them into my village’s story
Top Ops
Ariella Cohen
We don’t hand out candy when our enemies are killed
I can understand the need to rejoice at the wins, but only terrorists treat death with sweets. Celebrate some other way
Jonathan Lord
Making an Iranian attack Tehran’s worst option
The Islamic Republic will be less likely to launch a major missile strike if it believes the US will strike preemptively to defang it
Gary Epstein
A (maybe) valediction
The Ayatollah might not let me get all the way through War and Peace, but at least I published this post in time
Judy Halper
What to expect when you’re expecting an Iranian invasion II
This time, they’ll likely try harder to make it hurt – just enough to let us go back to shooting at each other over the border
