Buying time versus Iran for political reasons is one thing. Gratuitous and unjustified comments by Trump and Vance that castigate Israel is something else, much darker.

Trump's threats are repeatedly ridiculed, and Iran's Islamist regime now dictates the agenda, emerging victorious from this war against the United States, the world's most powerful nation. The Chinese are rubbing their hands together, skillfully advancing their interests and gaining ground on the international stage, while Europe remains absent.

Despite the Israel Defense Forces’ impressive military achievements, the Iranian regime survived, Hezbollah is recovering, and Israel has been left without a clear diplomatic achievement. Why do many feel the campaign ended far from the goals that were set?

Europe is welcoming the agreement with Iran before the regime’s compliance with its commitments has even been tested, and continues to speak of “both sides” even when facing Hezbollah. The West is once again falling for the same dangerous illusion of imaginary peace, while Israel must prepare for a world in which it relies mainly on itself.

Three years after Hamas' attack, the world is increasingly recognizing the sexual violence committed as a weapon of war. But denial persists, indictments are still nowhere in sight, and the path to justice for the female and male victims remains long. The fight for recognition has only just begun.

Doesn't he realize that the overwhelming majority of Israelis are deeply disappointed by his unilateral, unjust, and senseless decisions, especially since he persists in boycotting and blatantly interfering in our internal affairs?

Israel once made a point of preserving its freedom of action in the face of US pressure, with Israeli leaders even standing up openly to American administrations. The weakening of Israel’s ability to stand firm against Washington, and the erosion of political and public support, are seen as factors that could undermine Israel’s diplomatic independence.

Blood libels have been used throughout history to portray Jews as beings outside the bounds of humanity. These libels have been “modernized” and are now directed at the State of Israel. In the age of social media and global media, such claims spread rapidly and gain broad resonance..
