Does it require an astonishing level of innumeracy and economic ignorance to believe that when the U.S. gives Israel vouchers to buy weapons from American manufacturers—thus expanding American jobs and American manufacturing—it’s somehow taking eggs and bananas out of the mouths of theoretical Abdul El-Sayed voters? Yes, it does. @SethAMandel commentary.org/seth-mandel/t…

All was going according to plan—until the Houthis struck the main airport in Riyadh, killing over a dozen and injuring hundreds and forcing flight cancellations. commentary.org/seth-mandel/t…

Every moment of action contributed to an astonishing victory. commentary.org/articles/john…

LISTEN: The Israeli election is in full swing with the highest turnout in 50 years. What will this mean for the Arab parties, Netanyahu’s chances of survival, and will an Eisenkot victory expose American leftists who claim to only be anti-Bibi? Plus, the midterms loom large with the Michigan race seemingly tied and reports that early voting turnout in the state is down. commentary.org/noam-blum/let…

Barrack was laying the groundwork for a partial American retreat from its responsibilities in the Middle East. But he did so at a time that once again raises the familiar question: On what planet does Tom Barrack currently reside? commentary.org/seth-mandel/w…

"Up until now, her response to anybody who asked that question was, 'You're a bigot. What an absurd question. How dare you?'" Watch & subscribe to the Commentary Magazine Podcast: youtube.com/watch?v=_3NQQwqk…

Not everyone is comfortable risking the Hamasniks’ backlash or one of Javier Bardem’s blacklists to defend the Jews from the latest blood libel. But those who are comfortable doing so unapologetically have lately been, like Feldshuh, straight-talking Jewish women of bubbe-ish vintage. @SethAMandel commentary.org/seth-mandel/r…

In Europe and the U.S., far-left critics of Israel “are not overtly anti-Semitic” but discuss the country using “the Marxist-Leninist categories: finance capital, colonialism, and imperialism.” commentary.org/articles/bret…

Israelis tend to be security-minded, and those seeking security know that they cannot get it by letting Palestinian negotiators endlessly drag them along a process with no end point. @SethAMandel commentary.org/seth-mandel/i…

If Western Europeans are going to adopt the keffiyeh as the modern symbol of woke capitalism, I suppose it’s only fair that the pro-Palestinian movement hijacks the remembrance poppy. Though there is one telling difference: The keffiyeh symbolizes violence, the poppy longs for peace. commentary.org/seth-mandel/t…

So Iraq, Afghanistan, and Iran—wars we won that didn’t take “forever.” But here’s the thing: America has been fighting a forever war for the past quarter century. We’ve just misidentified it. It’s the culture. commentary.org/articles/abe-…

LISTEN: We are back on this Monday to discuss tomorrow’s Israeli election and next week’s midterm election in the US, and whether other international electoral trends will come into play in both after Lula’s victory in the Brazilian election, and a series of violent riots in European cities. Plus, the comments by Obama and Elissa Slotkin, Abdul El-Sayed’s confrontation with Bret Baier, Ilhan Omar’s new ad, fake polling firms, the Young Turks recycle their old antisemitic ad, and @jpodhoretz recommends The Imaginary Invalid on Broadway. commentary.org/noam-blum/ele…

The bureaucratic runaround that Toras Chaim endured is what the city of University Heights is hoping to impose on Grand and his Jewish neighbors. commentary.org/articles/edwa…

There are hunter-killer drones, kamikaze drones, mine-laying drones, mine-detecting drones, even “dragon drones” equipped with flamethrowers that bring a touch of Game of Thrones to the conversation. Uncrewed machines dominate virtually every strategic and tactical operation and scenario in the conflict. According to the Institute for the Study of War, uncrewed ground vehicles (UGVs) and airborne drones account for up to 90 percent of military activity in “hot” combat zones like Pokrovsk. commentary.org/articles/arth…

Indeed, as more and more American Jews have internalized the mass mania demonizing Benjamin Netanyahu, they have also seemed to sour on Zionism, implicitly joining those who place the onus on Israel for the burgeoning anti-Semitism worldwide. commentary.org/articles/gil-…

When a political figure emerges as a harsh critic of Israel, there is an instinctive circling of wagons around him, even when he don’t exactly radiate good faith. commentary.org/seth-mandel/a…
