The Mathematical Illusion of Safety: Normalized Risk and the Paradox of Fear
Reports issued this week by Magen David Adom and hospital authorities contain a set of statistics that demand a rigorous re-evaluation of our national psyche. While the eyes of the world are fixed on the technological duel between interception systems and Iranian ballistic missiles, the data suggests that our most…
What Should They Have Done? Power Versus Principle in Wartime Dilemmas
The history of the State of Israel is frequently presented as an endless series of "impossible choices."

In the early years of the State, it was easy to point to a singular vision—a "Ben-Gurion doctrine"—that ruthlessly pulled strings to gather exiles from the four corners of the earth. But today, with that generation long gone, the clarity of that vision has been replaced by a terrifying ambiguity.…
The Covert War on Sanctity: Why Israel’s Holy Sites are Being Managed Like a CIA Black Op
To the uninitiated pilgrim arriving at the Tomb of Samuel the Prophet or ascending the steep slopes of Mount Meron, the signage of the National Center for the Development of Holy Places ("The Holy Sites Authority") (NCDHP) appears benign, even welcoming. The gold triangle logo suggests stewardship; the turnstiles and…
Pollard: IDF Solution to Eastern Front Threat is ‘More Jobs for Arabs’—in Replay of October 7 Disaster
The State of Israel is mobilizing to construct a massive, multi-billion shekel defensive line along its 310-mile frontier with Jordan. On paper, the project is a long-overlooked necessity designed to seal the country’s porous eastern flank against a rising tide of Iranian arms smuggling. But inside the closed briefing rooms…
