From the blogs
Today, the war ended. Today, everything begins.
By
Noah Efron
On the shloshim of Ran Gvili, the last of Israel’s hostages to come home, the nation stands at a historical hinge, mourning and rebuilding at once. We’ve been here before
Jeffrey Woolf
As a proud Orthodox rabbi, I say the Kotel bill is an act of spiritual homicide
5 reasons this legislation is an enormous mistake — and why I have faith that the Torah can handle a little diversity
Shulamit S. Magnus
The Western Wall brouhaha can be solved easily
The court cases, to which I am a signatory, established the Kotel’s legal status: It’s a national holy site, regardless of who prays there or how
From the blogs
A declaration of war on world Jewry
By
Yizhar Hess
Mandating jail for egalitarian prayer at the Western Wall would shatter the fragile covenant between Israel and the Jewish communities that sustain it
William Keenan
The Board of Peace: The check’s in the mail
Trump unveiled a grand $10 billion vision for Gaza; what he did not unveil was binding money, durable governance or genuine legitimacy
Gary Rosenblatt
So much for the two-state solution: PA proves to be its own worst enemy
The Palestinian Authority’s new draft constitution for statehood ignores reconciliation – in fact, the document erases Israel and Jewish history
The ‘day after’ deception that exploded in our faces
By
Shimon Sheves
Netanyahu’s refusal to plan for Gaza’s future wasn’t a blunder — it was a bid to save his coalition. The cost? Lives, endless war and no political horizon
Adil Faouzi
What blogging on The Times of Israel taught this Moroccan journalist
The outlet that the Arab world brands as a propaganda arm of the Zionist entity has never touched a comma of my criticism
Shalom Weil
A bold national plan to fix Israel’s teacher crisis
Give 25-year-olds housing, train them inside the schools they’ll commit to serve for 5 years — and reward those who stay with a fully funded master’s degree.
On Jewish power, Zionism and racism
By
Marc J. Rosenstein
If excluding Arabs is the only way to pursue the vision of a Jewish state, what exactly have we built — Herzl’s dream, or something far darker?
Analysis
Guila Benchimol
A Jewish moral reckoning on sexual violence
As high-profile scandals feed antisemitic conspiracies, it’s tempting to avoid talking about abuse in the Jewish community, but silence betrays survivors
Bruce D. Forman
Why Alexander Vindman’s candidacy matters for American Jews and Israel
From Soviet antisemitism to a Purple Heart to impeachment testimony, his life story reframes the loyalty smear — and what principled US support for Israel truly requires
Trump broke the aid machine. Good.
By
Aviram Bellaishe
The establishment was horrified, but the US president had a point: Aid should not finance the wars it’s supposed to help stop
Reda Mansour
Al-Sharaa brings jihadi populism to Syria
After replacing Assad’s dictatorship, the country’s new ruler built another family-led regime that blends sectarian rule, Islamist ideology and populist theatrics
Nathan Lyons
Over my shoulder
I remember my own self-righteous lefty liberalism, but 20 years later, I can’t sustain it: the globalized intifada is coming for me
Japan’s lure for Israelis isn’t the wagyu
By
Melissa Uchiyama
The Japan I know is a haven from antisemitism; I want to make sure it stays that way for Jewish and Israeli travelers
Top Ops
Elisha Baker
Modi at the Knesset: Beyond symbolism, trade deals are the thing to watch
US investment may have made Israeli tech what it is, but Israel isn’t putting all its eggs in one basket: India is a safe partner for new capital
Christopher Hyland
An evening at Niavaran: Meeting the Shah of Iran
The turn away from Islamism – a turn that is inevitable – must not erase religion from society, it must create the condition under which faith can breathe
Talal Hamchou
I was certain that in Israel, of all places, I would be seen as a person
As a Belgian jurist of Syrian birth, I flew to Tel Aviv in solidarity. Barred entry and 24 hours in duty-free left me wrestling with what security means in a democracy
Mike Evans
