Acquiescence Again: Netanyahu, the ‘Revitalized’ PA, and the Betrayal of Judea and Samaria
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…
Gandhi’s Vision: The Unwritten Chapter of an Assassinated Leader
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,…
When Victory is Defeat: Hysterical Optimism and the Squandering of a Nation
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…
When the Jewish State Turns on the Jew
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…
From Pagers to Eyeglasses: Israel’s Next Frontier in Covert Warfare?
In September 2024, the world watched as Israel executed one of the most audacious and technologically sophisticated covert operations in modern history.

The attack, a masterclass in supply-chain infiltration, did more…
The Genocide Mitzvah, the Prime Minister’s Hubris, and the King’s Humility
The commandment to blot out the memory of Amalek is understood not merely as an act of simple warfare, but as a necessary and divinely-ordained mitzvah to purify the world of a unique metaphysical evil. This obligation is a fundamental component of achieving a moral world. The Source and Nature…
The New Indoctrination: How Marxist Pedagogy is Quietly Infiltrating Israeli Schools
In a brightly decorated kindergarten classroom in Rishon LeZion, children are gathered in a circle. They are not learning the Aleph Bet or the wisdom of the Torah. Instead, their teacher, trained in a new and increasingly popular methodology, is guiding them through a "critical discussion" about Family Day. They…
The Price of Compliance: How Government Co-opted Rabbis, Clinics, and Community Leaders to Enforce Vaccine Mandates
In the frantic spring of 2021, a torrent of federal money began flooding the United States. Billed as a lifeline, the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) was a monumental financial intervention purported to pull the nation from the depths of the COVID-19 pandemic. For community health centers—the trusted local clinics…
The Unowned Nation of Tenants
In 1948, as the State of Israel was forged in the crucible of war, the American philosopher Richard M. Weaver published a book that served as a profound and chilling diagnosis of the modern world’s maladies. In Ideas Have Consequences, he argued that the West’s turn from transcendent truths had…
Totalitarian Israeli Democracy in the Age of Reason
Imagine transporting two thinkers from the past to the corridors of the Israeli Knesset. One is Frédéric Bastiat, a 19th-century French economist, whose treatise, The Law, reads like a contemporary critique of the proceedings. The other is J.L. Talmon, an Israeli historian from the 1960's, whose life's work charted the…
