Israel cannot allow its hands to be tied while Hezbollah continues its attacks. It is crucial to decouple Lebanon from any agreement between the US and Iran. It is clearly a separate issue.

World leaders like Macron play a game of pretend, according to which the situation in the Middle East is an issue between Israel and the Palestinians; if only that is resolved through the establishment of a new Palestinian (terrorist) state, "peace" will

China is now engaged in the fastest nuclear buildup since the Cold War. The combined number of China's and Russia's nukes — not to mention North Korea's — is beginning to create an imbalance that could lead to horrible consequences.

Of these regimes [Russia, North Korea, and China], the most dangerous is China, now engaged in the fastest nuclear buildup since the Cold War. The Stockholm International Peace Research Institute, SIPRI, estimates that the Chinese military "now has

Iran cannot be allowed to acquire a nuclear weapon—not under this framework, not after sixty days, not in five years, not through ambiguity, delay, concealment, or the gradual normalization of violations.

The real obstacle to peace has never been the Iranian nation. It is the regime that governs Iran against the will and aspirations of its own people—a regime that behaves less like a normal state than like a revolutionary-security cartel. Iran cannot be

Is the actual wish to help the Palestinians "finish the job" Hi**er started while they, the Europeans, sipping their claret, can pretend to appear as righteous and just?

Why would any country -- especially one smaller than Maricopa County, Arizona -- allow anywhere near it, let alone on its border, a barbaric, homicidal state, committed to its destruction? Would Luxembourg, or even France, welcome Al-Qaeda or Islamic

In a ruling that should send chills down the spine of anyone who still believes in the Enlightenment values of reason, evidence, and open debate, a Belgian court has convicted nationalist activist Dries Van Langenhove for the crime of stating uncomfortable facts.

Iran's regime cannot abandon "Death to America" or "Death to Israel" without dissolving its own reason for being. Leaving it in place only ensures that it will dig its hooks in even deeper -- especially after President Donald J. Trump leaves office and his successor possibly turns to interests more enjoyable than "enforcement."

Iran's rulers might sign a piece of paper -- as Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) Chairman Yasser Arafat did with Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin with the 1993 Oslo Accord – but, like the PLO, its fundamental goals will not change. The regime

The current hostilities with Iran are a direct result of Obama's failed policy. Obama did not just save the Iranian regime; he empowered it. The Obama strategy was apparently to make any deal with Iran and call it a "good deal." Obama and his lead negotiator, Secretary of State John Kerry, must have understood that the money Iran received was to be used to fund its military, its international terror network, and to advance its hegemonic goals in the region.

The Obama strategy was apparently to make any deal and call it a "good deal." In exchange for these concessions to the Ayatollah, the Obama Administration agreed to lift economic sanctions on Iran at a time when its frozen overseas assets totaled

The notion that Hamas would voluntarily surrender the means that allow it to dominate the Gaza Strip, intimidate Palestinians, and wage jihad (holy war) against Israel is detached from reality. Hamas did not spend decades building a military infrastructure, digging tunnels, stockpiling rockets, and indoctrinating generations of Palestinians only to hand over its weapons because mediators asked politely.

Hamas is not agreeing to disarm. It is bargaining. The Cairo meetings reportedly focused heavily on what mediators described as the "restriction of weapons" rather than outright disarmament. Some proposals reportedly envision Hamas and other armed groups

The rapid increase in Qatar's military power is a direct reflection of the strides that the terror-sponsoring and terror-propagandizing Islamist state has been able to make in its gradual buy-up of a greedy and flatterable Western world.

"Qatar is at the top of funding terrorism worldwide.... Even more than Iran." — Udi Levy, a former senior official of Israel's Mossad spy agency who dealt with economic warfare against terrorist organizations, YNet, April 18, 2024. It was disclosed last

Eighty years ago we learned costly lessons in the Pacific regarding just how difficult it is to supply, fight, and win in this part of the world. Lessons learned, lessons remembered, and lessons for our foes: never underestimate the United States.

Not so very long ago, the Pacific was the scene of some of the bloodiest battles of World War II, where no quarter was given. While the guns have long since gone quiet, that vast area of the globe remains a source of intense military brinksmanship. This
