The Moral Conflict Between Ignoring Evil and the Dangers of War

During this fraught time, the teachings of two great thinkers are particularly cogent.  Protestant theologian Reinhold Niebuhr, a moral realist, would have balanced the moral imperative to fight the evil of the ayatollah’s tyrannical regime with the caution to use force reluctantly and wisely.  While never celebrating war, Elie Wiesel’s famous quote, “We must always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented” must become a guiding light.

The War with Iran May Present a Moment to Reshape the Globe

The Iranian regime has created a vast global terror network that presents the clearest justification for military action seen this century.  The Islamic Republic has pursued nuclear weapons, cultivated a vast global terror network, and developed the Middle East’s largest ballistic missile arsenal that has become extremely dangerous do to the combination of intent and capability behind it.

Joe Kent: A Controversial Figure

Some Congressional Democrats who previously criticized Joe Kent’s extremism and conspiratorial views have seized upon statements from his resignation letter that blame Israel for the Iranian war and other Middle East conflicts while other Democrats have called out Kent’s anti-Zionist efforts as antisemitic.  Most Republicans lawmakers recognize his assessment of the war and the downplaying of Iranian terrorism as misguided.

The Time Is Here for an Israeli Lebanese Partnership

While cooperation may seem too good to be true, Israel’s military advantage against Hezbollah has aligned strategically with the Lebanese cabinet’s emergency meeting declaring Hezbollah’s actions illegal and demanding its surrender.  Although this partnership would shatter a longstanding taboo against cooperation, ultimately it makes good political sense if their shared goal of eradicating Hezbollah’s military threat is to be achieved.

American Support for Israel May Be Shifting

It is time to wake up to the changes taking place inside American politics and society, the fallout of which could eventually be more severe than we currently can imagine. While the joint operations and partnership between Israel and the US are unprecedented, there is no guarantee that a future president or legislature will continue this current supportive relationship.

Pro-Israel Candidates Realized Unexpected Wins

All six Squad-aligned far-left candidates were knocked out of the race during the Democratic primaries in Illinois.  Pro-Israel candidates that received support from Israel aligned organizations fared well.  The Democratic party may be on its way to repairing their image after recent political blunders.

March Madness Has Begun

As we enter March Madness, Israelis and Jews are well represented among the players and coaches on the court.
