In its war with Iran, the United States is learning what Israel has long known about its Islamist enemies: perpetually locked and loaded in apocalyptic, messianic, end-of-days dreamscapes, they will respond to total defeats by not surrendering and then, like psychopaths, emerge from the darkness and claim victory.

If we refuse to pay attention to Islam’s organizing principle of absolute submission, our destiny is to one day recall, with deep regret, that there was a time when it was not too late to reclaim the West.

With moral clarity not clouded by anti-Trump, anti-Israel hysteria, everyone should be able to get behind this just war against Iran—not unlike Israel’s just war in Gaza.

America’s new muscularity has placed the world on notice: This is no longer the United States of Obama and Biden. Red lines will be enforced. Provocations will not be ignored. Allies will be defended.

The marketplace of ideas has ceased to be fully stocked because all ideas are no longer welcome. So much for Jews controlling Hollywood, mass media and book publishing.

The antisemitic fervor and hatred of Israel on the far right is both growing and not all that different from the progressive Democratic left.

Is this TV commercial, righteous, sentimental and well-intentioned though it might be, the right remedy for these times? Will it make a difference for the 66 percent of Jewish teenagers who claim to have been bullied by Jew-hating juveniles?

International Holocaust Remembrance Day was not created as kitsch—a tawdry symbol of man’s inhumanity to man, a mere token for Jews and a talisman for everyone else.

With well over 11 million people in the United States illegally, and the Trump administration determined to deport the criminals among them, why not offer British Jews political asylum?

Why is Iran not on anyone’s radar? Because calling for the end of an Islamic regime is not as satisfying as demanding the annihilation of the world’s one Jewish state.
