High Noon: Israel Stands Alone, Abandoned by Fair-Weather Friends

Israel, like Gary Cooper in High Noon, stands alone and abandoned by cowardly Western “allies” to face down mortal adversaries knowing that survival depends only on its own actions. Israel, alone, has achieved (and risked, and sacrificed) a great deal.  Its fair-weather allies will reap benefits of Israel’s achievements against their common enemies; but they don’t deserve to. Israel, at least, becomes a lot less alone starting at “high noon,” January 20.

Not this Year; Not these Democrats: Lawlessness Leads to Looming Election Losses

Note that the Biden-Harris administration coinciding with lawlessness has also coincided, ironically with a surge in registrations.  Of guns.  And Republican voters.

Personnel is Policy: Kamala Harris’s Campaign Appointments Should Alarm Israel-Supporters

In any normal year, people with such radical records wouldn’t be allowed near a presidential campaign, let alone given senior appointments; but radical anti-Zionism is now unremarkable in today’s Democratic Party.

Israel’s Air Force, and the new strategic value of air Power

By MAJ. GEN (RET.) AMIKAM NORKIN, ABE KATSMAN

Air power is considered a powerful instrument, but a blunt one. It can be too destructive and too indiscriminate. It is certainly not subtle. Western militaries concerned with military morality and preservation of civilian lives should, therefore, take notice of Israel’s latest advances in precision targeting, transforming air power from an essentially tactical capability to one with a vastly increased strategic impact.

The Marrano Voter: Secret Key to a Trump Victory

Pollsters discuss the “shy” Trump vote; but a great many voters aren’t “shy;” they are self-preserving. In this “cancel culture,” there is high risk in expressing any pro-Trump sentiment in public, in workplaces, and even within social circles and families. The crypto-Trump supporters driven underground are political Marranos. And they will vote.

No-Shows for Joe: Democrats Who Fear a Biden Victory

These old-style liberals honor the flag; they’d never “take a knee” for the national anthem.  They believe in judging people not by the color of their skin—or their class or gender—but by the content of their character.   They find incomprehensible the switch from free speech reverence to a hate-fueled “cancel-culture,” and know that it was a mistake for the Democrats to jettison liberal core values to align with far-Left forces rapidly transforming both party and country. It pains them, but they cannot pull the lever for Joe Biden.  Not in good conscience.  Not this year.  Not for these Democrats.

Hate Trump? Understood. Now, Vote for him Anyway.

We vote not just for a President, but for a presidency.  Particularly for voters concerned about Mideast policy, it’s hard to argue with the accomplishments—too many of which we already take for granted. You might (grudgingly) concede that this presidency has been, by-and-large, a success.

What should Jewish voters REALLY know about Kamala Harris?

She is a historic choice for reasons other than just her sex and race: even in the party of Bill and Hillary Clinton, Kamala Harris is arguably the least-principled candidate in recent memory.

In Democrats we Trust: Danger for Israel/Allies

Those whose hatred of political opponents exceeds their hatred for the country’s enemies should be kept far from the Presidency.  A party which treats foreign policy only as a means to claw back power at any cost cannot be trusted with America’s own national security interests; how reliable can it be when it comes to Israel’s?

Republicans Hold Congress! (Tomorrow’s Analysis–Why Wait?)

I’m pre-writing my post-election analysis—the same points you’ll be reading from those omniscient pundits who wait until after the election to share their wisdom and analysis.
