From Ian: John Spencer: No one should want ceasefire in Gaza until clear defeat of Hamas War is always tragic. But some wars are necessary. The just purpose of war is not vengeance—it is justice, deterrence, and the restoration of peace. But peace is not possible with an armed, fanatical regime in Gaza that seeks your destruction and views the murder of civilians as a divine...

In my last post on the topic of Jewish ethics for the world, I discussed the importance of community in the context of extending “kiddush Hashem” to the world, and noted that community is a missing piece of most universal ethics models.I didn’t go far enough.Community is an essential component for any truly universal ethical system to work.For a philosophy to work for everyone,...

When you think of Jewish communities, particularly outside...

05/30 Links Pt2: Phillips: Diaspora Jews under siege; The Anti-Israel Right Joins the Pro-Iran Left; Dishonest reporting kills: DC antisemitic murders are a wake up call

From Ian: Melanie Phillips: Diaspora Jews under siege It’s not what it actually is: a uniquely murderous and deranged creed that all people of conscience must oppose. Unbelievably, for the Western liberal, antisemitism has become a moral obligation. The destruction of the Jewish homeland and the abuse of Jews have become an expression of liberal conscience. And that’s why...

From Ian: Israel must not cower: Sovereignty for Judea, Samaria, and Gaza now ISRAEL’S RESPONSE must be one of resolve, not retreat. Rather than waiting to be boxed into a corner by foreign chancelleries, Israel should act now – on our terms – to extend sovereignty to the entirety of Judea, Samaria, and Gaza.

This article, part 1 of what is intended to be a three part article, is quite remarkable in how pro-Israel and philosemitic it is. It was published in Elaph which is an independent, reformist UK-based news site but it is said to be backed by Saudi money. The author, Mohammed Saad Khiralla, is an Egyptian writer and political analyst in self-imposed exile in Sweden.Here's...
