Part III of our 'Managed Chaos' Investigation
Just east of the sprawling haredi city of Elad, hugging the faint trace of the 1949 Armistice Line – the so-called Green Line delineating Israel from Judea and Samaria – lies a vast military installation. With its distinctive, almost futuristic circular layout stark against the arid hills, Nachshonim Base stands…
The Script We Were Never Meant to Read In the cynical world of Washington policy, documents are weapons and influence is the currency. Reports from elite think tanks are not academic exercises; they are blueprints, "menus" of options presented to policymakers who will, in turn, shape global events. It is…
On the evening of March 31, 1987, I was a 17-year-old in a suit and tie, sitting in a living room in Aspen Hill, Maryland. Across from me was Knesset Member Rabbi Meir Kahane. I handed him a confidential memorandum. It was not a theory. It was evidence, gathered during…
When I wrote the "Yesha Defense Initiative" (עברית כאן) over two decades ago, I began not with a statistic, but with a scenario. It is 2:45 a.m. on a Tuesday in Israel. The streets of Judea and Samaria—our biblical heartland, Yesha—are quiet. But in the IDF war rooms, there is…
Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu’s career is defined by a central paradox. He is the ultimate "Mr. Security," a leader of hardline rhetoric and vows of "total victory."

In the theater of Israeli politics, the script is agonizingly familiar. While Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu offers tedious declarations of "total victory," American officials, speaking to Ynet, detail a completely different plan. The U.S. is actively "pressing" Netanyahu on his "day after" plan, a plan Washington has already drafted: a…
Today, the 30th of Tishrei, marks the somber anniversary of the assassination of Minister Rechavam Ze’evi. Murdered in a Jerusalem hotel by the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, his death was a brutal punctuation mark on a life dedicated to the security of Israel. In the years since,…
In the landscape of a nation perpetually at war, a peculiar and dangerous psychological phenomenon has taken root. It is a sentiment that masquerades as faith, as resilience, as pragmatic hope. But in truth, it is a kind of fever, a desperate and energetic denial of a grim reality. The…
That the security apparatus of the modern Israeli state has allegedly targeted the legal aid organization Honenu should surprise no one who has observed the state’s philosophical trajectory. This incident is not an aberration or a flaw in the system. It is the system functioning as designed—the inevitable outcome of…
