The Sin of the Spies in the Age of Trump and Netanyahu

Washington Just Labeled You a Terrorist

The Atlantic Council’s recent call for the United States to designate certain Israeli citizens as global terrorists is not a standalone policy proposal.

Dear Deluded Israelis: Trump Just Handed Saudi Arabia the Keys to Your Destruction

Loss of IDF independence is not a detail—it is the end of Jewish self-defense. It is the deliberate dismantling of the Jewish state’s vaunted sole guarantee of survival: an independent Israel Defense Force that answers only to the elected government of the Jewish people in the Land of Israel. When

The Fox Guarding Israel’s Henhouse: Who’s Really Certifying Your ‘Safe’ Food?

There is a quiet, comforting label that now appears on many of the “bug-free” leafy greens we bring home for Shabbat. It promises that this produce has been grown “according to instructions on the rational use of pesticides” and tested in a laboratory “for the sake of public health.” We
