NATO & Israel

The flotilla raid could cause our relations with Ankara to implode—and severely harm the transatlantic alliance.

The Gaza Disaster

Israel attacked a ship of fools and ended up looking like the foolish one.

Challenging Israel

Israel shouldn’t be allowed to dictate American foreign policy. If it doesn’t concede on the settlements, Washington should revoke diplomatic support and restrict military aid.

Holier Than Thou

Islamic governments need to respect religious liberty at home before lecturing the West about intolerance.

Goldstone Speaks Out

Misreading Tehran

America’s Iran watchers blew it. To make sure we aren’t caught by surprise with Tehran’s politics again, we need to understand the deep republican streak of the Iranian people—and the lengths to which their leaders will go to stifle it.

Olmert's Virtues

Although Ehud Olmert has had a tough time, his tenure has seen Israel recover much of its deterrent capability. It’s now up to Netanyahu to turn this momentum into peace.

Israel's Strategy Deficiency

Israel’s recent foray into Gaza has proven that it lacks the capability to plan long-term solutions to its problems.
