Israel Wants to Build “Greater Israel” as America Steps Back From the Middle East (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich recently went on a podcast and called for Israel to go to war in the occupied West Bank and to “do there what we did in Gaza.” He called for dismantling the Palestinian Authority, annexing the territory Israel controls east of the so-called Yellow Line in Gaza and extending Israeli control in southern Lebanon as far as the Litani River. These are not allegations made by an anti-Israel commentator. He said these himself on an Israeli podcast.The Western m

Read excerpt
Jamarl Thomas recently hosted me and asked me whether Russia betrayed Syria. My first reaction was that the word “betrayal” is problematic. Betrayal happens between friends, or at least between people who believe there is a moral obligation between them, but states do not function that way.
