Visiting Fellow Daniel Halper on the changes brought about by the Arab Spring and how policymakers desperately try to cope with new realities, trying to figure out how U.S. policy can remain current.
JINSA Visiting Fellow Peter Huessy makes the case that missile defense supports diplomacy, complicates the plans of attackers and terrorists, and saves lives. So, he asks, why is it again under attack?
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.
JINSA Visiting Fellow Peter Huessy explains why the United States may not be in the strongest of positions to strike a cooperative deal with Russia on missile defense.
JINSA Visiting Fellow Gabriel Scheinmann on why the Obama administration cutting funding to Israeli missile defense just as talk of an Israeli attack on Iranian nuclear facilities is reaching a crescendo.
Israel has allowed the world to think rocket fire from Gaza isn't so terrible. Undoing that misperception is a crucial first step toward taking effective action to protect its population.
JINSA Visiting Fellow Yaakov Lappin writes from Ashdod in Southern Israel where a recent barrage of rockets launched from Gaza have been terrorizing Israeli citizens. Israel's Iron Dome system has intercepted an impressive 85% of these rockets but much damage is still being done.
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.
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.
JINSA Visiting Fellow Evelyn Gordon on how future land-for-peace deals could be jeopardized by Egypt's threats to alter or abrogate its treaty with Israel. It looks increasingly likely that what made the Egyptian peace succeed was not any intrinsic merit in the land-for-peace paradigm, but merely the remarkable longevity in office of one man, former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak.
