Empathy and support for an Israel in its darkest hour are dissipating, in a war that we don't want to define as existential but that is looking increasingly so

Israel dare not allow emboldened enemies on its borders, cannot leave Hamas still standing and capable, must show that it has restored our ability to live safely in our land

As Biden's speech underlined, what began on Saturday was not, in all its 'unadulterated evil,' a tactical Hamas attack, but the opening salvo in a strategic effort to destroy the Jewish state

And we all find it abhorrent and inexplicable that the other side acted in the way it did. But mutual accusation is not going to heal our destructive national divide

PM was ambiguous on how much of the overhaul he regards as 'bad,' but adamant that he'll change the way we choose judges * Why does FM object to Germany's envoy watching our court?

In 2020, the Saudis denied the PM had flown in to meet with MBS; this time the crown prince is on board. So how does Netanyahu think he could square the domestic political circle?

Rothman came to insult the judges, the coalition's lawyer Bombach trashed the Declaration of Independence, and several on the bench intimated they may indeed intervene on Basic Law

Opposition politicians who could conceivably help extricate Israel from the potentially existential crisis into which Netanyahu has plunged us know that he simply cannot be trusted
