Trump’s dystopia
By
Donniel Hartman
Even while facing a brutal enemy, we are forbidden to emulate its brutality – the idea of a mass transfer of Gazans is a moral abomination
Analysis
Alexandria Fanjoy Silver
Without UNRWA, Palestinians might be decent neighbors
Inherited refugee status impoverishes and radicalizes Gazans, leaving them in perpetual limbo. Without it, they just might settle down
Samuel Heilman
Trump’s fantasy plan for Gaza: The damage is already done
Why should Hamas release hostages when they won’t get control of Gaza back or any hope of a Palestinian sovereign state?
Trump doesn’t want Gaza
By
Ted Sasson
The US president is sending signals to Hamas, Israeli right-wingers and Republicans as he tees up a grand deal with Saudi Arabia
Demilitarize Gaza now, through aid
By
Ariel Beery

Hugh Taylor
Should we celebrate deportations of pro-Palestinian activists?
Trump’s order to expel ‘pro-jihadist’ protesters is troubling – and it’s not because I love them so much
The China (Shopping) Syndrome

Gary Epstein
I rashly placed my online order, disregarding all the warnings about my loss of privacy, dangerous malware, and worse. Here’s what happened
Top Ops
Ted Deutch
To bring every hostage home, we need bipartisan cooperation
US reps from both sides of the aisle should, together, endorse the current deal and keep telling the hostages’ stories until every last one is free
Barbara Aiello
At my Holocaust Day school visits this year, I started with Jewish joy
These Italian kids don’t know much about being Jewish, but I introduce them to both religious ritual and antisemitic graffiti, and they get it. They really do
