A ceremony for outstanding soldiers reflects a kind of unity purported by the press and protest movement to be non-existent.

There’s nothing new about Jewish disunity, which makes our story even more miraculous.

As veteran Israeli commentator on Arab affairs Zvi Yehezkeli points out, “If those protesting Hamas had a chance, they would commit Oct. 7 again.”

Given the blunders of Oct. 7, the new IDF chief’s approach should be welcomed. But the chattering-class choir is refusing to change its tune.

Unlike Zelenskyy, the darling of the West, Netanyahu’s been vilified and his country condemned, even by allies, including Ukraine, at the United Nations.

Hamas has managed to plunge Israel into the kind of moral dilemma depicted by Hannah Arendt in “The Origins of Totalitarianism.”

“Unfortunately, many people repeat the narrative that in fact we are the ones preventing a deal,” said Gal Hirsch. “But this is a lie.”

Israel must stop engaging in tit-for-tat strikes against Hezbollah and launch a serious campaign in Lebanon. “Red lines” aren’t merely for coloring books.

Neighbors of the hostage-holders in Nuseirat express self-pity, not sorrow for the captives next door.

So far, not a single civilian in the terrorist enclave has opted to be categorized as a member of the “Righteous Among the Nations.”
