There are wars that apparently pierce the conscience of the world and then there are those that vanish from it entirely. To understand why, we must first understand the nature of the Sudan ese catastrophe—and the ideological fault lines it threatens to expose.

Haredi threats over draft evasion expose a sector that contributes little to Israel’s economy, security, or core institutions.

We cannot be so hard-hearted to deny Palestinian suffering, exacerbated by Israeli operational failures, but we cannot let Hamas destroy us.

Only when Palestinians are prepared to see a future state as their home — rather than a launching point for renewed struggle — will peace be possible.

No one could have known for certain back in 2005 what would happen next, how just two years later, Hamas would violently seize control of Gaza and that it would lead to the October 7 massacre.

Recognizing Palestine today, in the midst of a war that Hamas started on October 7 nearly two years ago, and while it still refuses to acknowledge Israel’s right to exist, is not a contribution to peace.

Nearly two years after Oct. 7, the government still cannot articulate how this war will be brought to a close.
