On the other hand

A year has passed since the wave of fires that broke out on the eve of Independence Day 2025. These fires caused damage to about 10,000 dunams, led to the evacuation of communities, and even resulted in the cancellation of the torchlighting ceremony. Despite the passage of time, the danger of fire still hangs over […]

JNS — Sun, 10 May 2026 05:22:58 +0000

The primary domestic tensions are directed towards the regime itself, rather than between completely fractured armed population groups. By Farid Alamdar As tensions in Iran continue to rise following recent interventions by the United States and Israel, questions are emerging over whether the country could descend into an Iraq-style scenario after a possible regime change. […]

The antizionist contagion

Melanie Phillips - JNS.org — Sun, 10 May 2026 01:14:40 +0000

Over the past few days, antisemitism has exploded as an issue in Britain. It was a reaction to two developments. Last week, two Jews were stabbed in separate attacks on the streets of Golders Green, London’s largely Jewish suburb. This week, the insurgent Green Party very publicly descended into a sewer of Jew-hatred during the […]

“Coffee on Little Collins Street”: the unbearable insult of the ISIS returnees

Elliot Vesely — Fri, 08 May 2026 07:53:03 +0000

There is a particular kind of unease that comes from reading reports that a woman recently repatriated from Syria, after spending years living under ISIS rule, said the thing she “missed most” was a coffee on Melbourne’s Little Collins Street. As of May 7, 2026, three more Australian women from the Roj and Al-Hol detention […]

When a Royal Commission Into antisemitism exposes the problem in real time

Michael Gencher — Thu, 07 May 2026 23:14:20 +0000

There is something I cannot stop noticing since the Royal Commission into Antisemitism and Social Cohesion started: it has not only exposed antisemitism, but it has also brought it flooding into the open. Every time I open social media and look at posts about the Royal Commission, or the media coverage around it, the comments […]

Jerusalem Archaeology

Jeremy Rosen — Thu, 07 May 2026 21:42:23 +0000

I have always enjoyed history and in the same way I’m fascinated by archaeology. This was why I picked up a book that was recommended to me called When the Stones Speak: The Remarkable Discovery of the City of Davd & What Israel’s Enemies Don’t Want You to Know by Doron Spielman. He describes his work in the field of […]

Surveying the current scene, one cannot help but be bamboozled by the uncontrollable avalanche of idiocy and inconsistency […]

Can Trump’s Iran deal really hold?

Fiamma Nirenstein - JNS.org — Thu, 07 May 2026 06:19:48 +0000

Even if Tehran signs a temporary agreement, Israel still faces Hezbollah, Hamas and an Iranian regime determined to survive. It remains highly doubtful that the 14-point document the Pakistanis are enthusiastically waving around will actually be signed, especially since Iran itself has not even confirmed having reviewed it. Nor has anyone in Washington fully verified […]
