When holidays of various religions and ethnic groups fall in the same calendar space, optimists get misty visions of people praying, eating, and loving family together. But in reality, it is just a coincidence.

Israel's real-life, adult experiences have led its people and its government to grow up.

The American military clearly finds its Israeli counterpart an important part of the American security equation.

Iran treats all the embargoes and sanctions the same way: It cheats.

You might be forgiven for thinking the Biden administration is beginning to take seriously Israel's worries about a nuclear Iran.

In 2015, the U.S. got an Iran that cheated on the markers going into the nuclear deal, and cheated on the deal from that moment on.

President Biden got to the West Bank, and it was time to pretend that Palestinians hadn't heard what he said in Jerusalem.

Concrete action on a variety of fronts can still carry the right message to America's allies and adversaries alike.

Meeting adversaries halfway doesn't work with people who take a generational view of victory and believe the deity is on their side.

The Biden administration came into office bearing gifts for the Iranian regime.

Despite the fact that Iran has targeted American citizens in America for kidnapping, the indictment will not affect the Biden administration's interest in pursuing a return to the 2015 nuclear deal.

Nowhere does Ban mention that corruption and repression of their own people have rendered the Palestinians unacceptable interlocutors to everyone in the region.

If the United States and other donors plan to finance Gaza reconstruction, three things should be kept in mind.

This latest war began, in some measure, because of Palestinian miscalculations.

Elections without freedom are nothing more than rigged, coercive referenda.

As usual in the region, the real action is on the sidelines, where the Biden administration has been undermining Israel and the Abraham Accords to the benefit of Iran.
