To deal successfully with jihadist enemies that seek “power over death,” Israel’s only prudential strategy should be based on a deeper understanding of the enemy's anti-reason.

Any catastrophic war between Israel and its Islamist adversaries would have little to do with Palestinian sovereignty or self-determination.

On particular matters concerning Palestinian statehood, it's high time to understand that everyone’s true enemy in the region is not Israel, but a persistently sordid mix of jihadist criminal forces.

Thanks to Israel, the now-impending Syrian chaos may be deeply destabilizing, but it will plausibly be nonnuclear.

Russian and/or North Korean threats of support for Iran could lay the groundwork for a multi-state nuclear conflict, one that could come to involve the United States and/or China.

In Israel’s no-choice war against Hamas and Iran, the death and injury of Palestinian noncombatants are the legal responsibility of “perfidious” jihadist enemies.

Israel should clarify its nuclear stance and take action against Iran while it’s not yet nuclear to maintain its strategic advantage.

In assessing operational choices, all law-supporting states, not just Israel, would eventually discover that the identifiable alternatives to targeted-killing also include violence.

North Korea's nuclear ambitions pose urgent threats globally, but their implications for Israel are often overlooked. Let's find out what they entail.

Hamas, Islamic Jihad, Fatah, Hezbollah, and other Iranian surrogates think of war, terror, and genocide against Israel as ennobling expressions of religious sacrifice.
