Iron Dome's extraordinary performance in the ongoing defense of Israel from Hamas rocket attacks has greatly increased U.S. interest in co-production.

On October 18, 2012, JINSA, in conjunction with The Reserve Officers Association (ROA), and the National Defense Industrial Association (NDIA) held a symposium on "New Technologies for the U.S. Army: Future Prospects and Policy Implications."

JINSA Fellow Evelyn Gordon on why Israel's limited capabilities and the need to avoid starting a war will necessitate a smaller-scale operation than the U.S. blueprint of multiple airstrikes over many days.

JINSA Visiting Fellow Yaakov Lappin on the recent "Flytilla" where hundreds of anti-Israel activists planned to board passenger planes and fly to Israel to instigate confrontations in their attempts to delegitimize the state. The event failed due to the Israeli government's recognition that it was not obligated to allow organized, hostile members of foreign organizations onto its territory - indeed no democracy is.

Steven L. Pomerantz, JINSA's Director of Counter-Terrorism Programs and former Chief of Counter-Terrorism at the FBI addresses the threat Iran could pose should they choose to utilize existing resources in the U.S. to mount a terrorist attack.

In the most recent JINSA Global Briefing, Khatuna Mshvidobadze discusses social media becoming a powerful political force and how it played an important role in Russia during the run up to the March 4 elections for that country's parliament and presidency. The Putin regime, it seems, turned some of the cyber techniques employed against Georgia against its own domestic opposition.

JINSA Visiting Fellow Peter Huessy argues that the reason for an unclear Iran policy stems from the myriad of views on the Iranian quest for a nuclear weapon and the fact that none of these views show an understanding of the true nature of the Iranian regime.

The Iron Dome short-range rocket and missile defense system intercepted 90 percent of missile attacks on Israeli urban centers during the latest bombardment from Gaza. The system intercepted 27 rockets fired from Gaza over the weekend, raising the interception rate from 75 percent last year to over 90 percent.

JINSA Visiting Fellow Daniel Halper on how the intelligence community's assessment of Iran's nuclear weapons program has become politicized when clear policy is needed most.

Carl von Clausewitz, the renowned Prussian military theorist, famously wrote that war is merely a continuation of politics by other means. If so, then the Obama Administration has disastrously misunderstood the Clausewitzian dictum when it comes to Israeli security.
