Terrorism is not a "weapon of the poor." If poverty causes terrorism, the evidence would look very different.

Meet the Israelis who fear an October 7th attack from the West Bank.

An IDF general ranks towns near the West Bank as more dangerous than the Gaza border, and residents of the area continue to express urgent concern that they are increasingly vulnerable to terrorism.

Jewish morality sabotages Jewish self-defense.

This is not to say that Jews should abandon ethics. On the contrary. But when one distorts “trying to be good” into a narcissistic pathology, one is in fact no longer being ethical.

2d ago

Is Australia lying about the Bondi Beach attack?

Officials are blaming ISIS, which seems like a convenient scapegoat that shields state actors from consequences which could result in another Middle East war.

Most people don't understand Hanukkah's true meaning.

Hanukkah was never meant to be a comfortable holiday, because nothing terrifies the world more than dignified Jews who unapologetically defend themselves. All Jews today must prepare to do the same.

Blaming Jews for the crimes of our enemies never gets old.
