Did Hamas emerge victorious in the latest war?
This summer's war in Gaza shook the status quo by making Israel look worse and by breathing life back into Hamas. It did not, however, resolve any part of the dispute between Israelis and Palestinians.

Can Palestine win the peace?
The tremendous sympathy and support Palestinians received from international observers because of the high price they paid during their 51-day war with Israel will be useless if the leaders of Hamas and Fatah fail to maintain a united front.

When Europe slowly surrenders to intolerance
One unfortunate truth to emerge about the nature of the global anti-Israel movement this summer is that many protesters are challenging Israel's very right to exist, not its policies in the territories that it came to occupy in 1967.

Gaza war may be a taste of the future
The latest war between Israel and Hamas is further testament to the historical fact that Israel's forefathers had to conquer the land that today's Israelis dwell in and ferociously defend. Is there hope of finding a lasting settlement with the Arabs?

Is Israel's offense morally defensible?
To say that Israel's actions are less clearly wrong than those of Hamas is not to say much. While pursuing its legitimate military objectives in Gaza, Israel should be showing more concern for Gaza's trapped civilians.

The conduct of its latest Gaza war suggests that Israel, which is blessed with a robust high-tech sector, embodies the greatest contradiction today between the imperatives of old-style territorial nationalism and a modern globalized economy.

Israel, Gaza and the U.S. perception
The Israeli military is neither incompetent nor accident-prone where hospitals or U.N. schools are concerned. So, does a theory live in its ranks that terrorization works in Gaza?
