By separating propaganda from fact, the goal is not to dismiss the tragedy of war but to challenge reckless accusations that undermine truth and dilute the meaning of real genocides. At stake is

Why a new model for the region may be Israel’s best path forward The shock of October 7th raised an urgent question: could something similar unfold in Judea and Samaria?

Despite repeated negotiations, the model has failed to produce lasting results. Focusing exclusively on statehood may obscure other creative approaches that could improve stability, security, and quality of life for both peoples.
