Crush Hamas or free hostages? I choose the hostages
By
Yossi Klein Halevi
If they are abandoned, too many Israelis will believe they died for political reasons – with dire consequences for the country
Shawn Zelig Aster
Preventing tomorrow’s hostages
As long as Hamas can attack, Israel must ask how it can prevent future hostage-taking, even if doing so would mean not freeing current hostages
Qanta A. Ahmed
Islamism’s assault on Israel is a crime against all of humanity
The vile murder of 6 Israeli hostages tells us who Hamas is – the heroic rescue of Bedouin captive Farhan al-Qadi tells us who Israel is
I feel them closer when I run
By
Tzippy Levy
I want the freedom I take for granted when I run for those who are trapped in small dark places and may never run again
Hugh Taylor
This isn’t a war, really
For Hamas, it’s a publicity stunt, a large-scale suicide mission. And, it’s working out amazingly well for them
Adrian Daniels
Even if Bibi’s right, the country can’t trust him
Netanyahu’s most recent effort to divide the country with suspicion and keep himself in power ignores a cardinal rule of Israel: No soldiers left behind
The government fiddles while Israel burns
By
Yehuda Halper
This ruling group of factional interests is too busy with political patronage and fighting the courts to put out the fires
Scott Kahn
Everyone deserves a vacation… right?
Thoughts on the Haredi men who were barbecuing, relaxing, and playing laser tag while hiding behind faux military tents in Yarmut Park
Jonathan Matkowsky
No refuge for Hamas supporters
A recent step by the US Justice Dept. is a warning to Qatar, Turkey and others that supporting a terror organization is against US law
Praying with the hostages at daybreak
By
Shira Pasternak Be'eri
’Blessed are You, Lord our God, Ruler of the Universe, who releases the imprisoned… May they all be returned speedily and in our day’
Top Ops
Pamela Peled
Cry, the once-beloved country
We always knew that no matter how we voted, Israel would bring her captives home. That was before this coalition of lunacy came to power
Shayna Abramson
The search for religious meaning and the danger of interpretations
To claim that we know, with 100% certainty, why God acted as He did on October 7 is an act of theological hubris
