...allies in facing the more numerous forces of its belligerent neighbors. Moreover, the more recent military conflicts in Lebanon and Gaza display Israel’s inability to stem attacks on its civilian population when restrained by its allies and world opinion from taking steps necessary to dismantle the terrorist infrastructures of Hamas and Hezbollah. The Crimson staff also incorrectly suggests that the U.S. has, over the decades, uncritically given Israel carte blanche to pursue its military objectives. However, it is in part thanks to U.S. efforts that Israel did not oust the radical nationalist Nasser regime...
...wake of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, it was the Office of Legal Counsel that generated the legal memos justifying enhanced interrogation techniques, which some critics prefer to call torture.

Terrorism is a grave national security threat to the U.S. and an existential one to Israel. Hence, the support of a stable Middle Eastern democracy that has reliably sided with...
...Obama administration to publicly chastise one of its strongest allies. The moribund Israeli-Palestinian peace process is not at a standstill because Israel will build apartments in its capital over the next few years. It has stopped because Israel’s putative negotiating partner is a radical terrorist organization whose very founding documents are fundamentally opposed to Israel’s existence. It is unclear how one would negotiate a peace with an organization that exists on the basis of permanent opposition to peace. Similarly, Mahmoud Abbas—universally considered a moderate—recently gave...
