The real war and how we write the rest of the story
By
Shoshanna Keats Jaskoll
We Israelis step up for each other admirably, but we’re not great at mutual respect. It’s time to practice giving the benefit of the doubt
Miki Dubery
The day after. Finally.
The war is not over, the future is uncertain, and we still await the return of fallen hostages, but for the first time in two years, our hearts feel whole
Alan P. Gross
From one former hostage to 20 newly freed others
After 1,481 days in captivity in Cuba, I initially found liberty bittersweet: my heart and mind had to catch up to my body. And then, slowly and surely, they did
from the blogs
We were not soldiers in a war. We were the bodies buried beneath it
By
Ezzideen Shehab
Hamas declares that we, the people of Gaza, have not been defeated, that we stood firm and fought a historic war. I say otherwise.
Jacob Stoil
What will it take to make the ceasefire in Gaza work?
A new future for Gaza and Israel may be possible, but only if international troops step in for the long haul to combat violent forces, including Hamas
Naftali Moses
A sliver of redemption
The evil driven by rabid Jew-hatred is far from gone, but, as the hostages made their way to the waiting IDF today, a piece of light peeked out of the darkness
When the clapping drowned the conscience
By
Haim V. Levy
In celebrating the release of hostages, Israel’s leaders turned gratitude into spectacle and democracy into theater
Hussain Abdul-Hussain
Trump says ‘disarm’ Hezbollah – Beirut says ‘contain’ Hezbollah
Lebanon must choose: They either force the pro-Iran militia to surrender their weapons or accept that Israel will handle it for them
Ann Plotkin
To be a Jewish mother two years on
After October 7, we’ll do anything for our kids – we know those young people who were raped, murdered, or kidnapped could have been ours
Dear American Jews, stop knocking on the country club gates
By
Danielle Haas
From rejected resumés to events scheduled on High Holidays, it’s time to accept: Those invitations are not going to come
Elisha Wiesel
My one sign against the hate of the ‘Flood NYC for Gaza’ protest was not enough
My activist mother and even my father also felt they had not done enough, though they modeled taking a stand – one that must now move to the classrooms, courts, and ballots
Ben Ari Grossman
This deal only confirms what we have long known
As far as we know, Hamas remains the dominant power in the Gaza Strip, and it’s not because Israel did not use enough military force
Today is the beginning of ‘the day after’
By
Gershon Baskin
No one won this war. It’s time to accept that our shared future lies here, in a region that wants a safe Israel and a free Palestine
Reuven Weiser
Saying goodbye is hard: Simchat Torah and October 7th
On this overwhelmingly sad day of remembrance, parting from the holiday is a challenge, but we channel our grief and focus on the underlying love
Khemraj Kattel
Remembering Bipin Joshi with sorrow and with hope
The world’s media may move on, but his name remains — no longer as a living student, but as a fallen soul and a vision of what the future could be
In each other’s faces; in a sukkah of one’s own
By
Don Futterman
Each ’bubble’ of Israeli society is close-knit, caring, intensely connected – and a little isolated from the other bubbles. It’s not a bad thing
Top Ops
Steven J. Frank
Now comes the hard part in Gaza
Before allowing reconstruction or foreign peacekeepers, Israel should withdraw to defensible lines and wait until Hamas meets its obligations (Spoiler: It won’t)
Jose Lev Alvarez Gomez
Israel won – but the world rewarded Hamas
In battle, the IDF achieved the impossible, but now Israel must reclaim its voice, or the terrorists will control the whole story
