The two-state solution is a suicide pact
(Oct. 28, 2026 / JNS) If the Palestinians had a state, would Iran have abandoned its nuclear ambitions? Would it have stopped financing Hezbollah, Hamas and the Houthis? Would Tehran cease threatening the Sunni Arab states? Would the Muslim Brotherhood disappear? Most important, would a Palestinian state have prevented Oct. 7? The answer to every question is almost certainly no.
Remarkable ignorance of ‘elite’ students
(Oct. 21, 2026 / JNS) Watching students at America’s most prestigious universities protest against Israel is more than infuriating.
