Support for Hamas is becoming a cost-free vote for many Democrats.

Rosh Hashanah is also as opportune a time as any to contemplate how we, as the American people, have recently strayed from our own covenant.

"They are presenting riots as peaceful," said Israeli military spokesman of the Palestinian protests. "In reality, these riots are extremely violent."

I hope Prime Minister Bennett meant what he said. If so, it could be a game-changer for the people of Gaza.

The attack reportedly targeted Hamas armed compounds in response to incendiary balloons that were deployed from the area.

The people of the region are craving change, not least among them the Palestinian people, who are desperate for fresh leaders, leaders who can move beyond a rigid regime with an agenda that abuses the very people it rules.

The May 10 parade, which was meant to celebrate Israel's capture of East Jerusalem in the 1967 Mideast war, had begun when Hamas fired rockets from Gaza toward the holy city.

The true test of normalization is whether the Abraham Accords will outlast efforts by Palestinian leaders to sabotage them. So far they have.

U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken promised to "rally international support" to rebuild Gaza during a meeting with leaders in the region on Tuesday.

Now that a ceasefire has been achieved between Hamas and Israel, it is important to draw some lessons from the conflict and decide how the next one can be prevented.

The Biden administration cozies up to Hamas.
