As it stands, Bibi hasn’t been defeated. In Israeli politics, that means it’s time for the opposition to see if they can go around Bibi instead of through him.

There are freedom-loving Muslims around the world who would make fine American citizens. Mehdi Hasan fails the test.

LISTEN: @benshapiro joins us today to discuss the results of the Israeli election, where the anti-Bibi coalition underperformed and likely denied Eisenkot the prime ministership. Can Netanyahu form a new type of coalition or rely on Smotrich, Ben Gvir, and the ultra orthodox parties, and what might another round of elections look like if he can’t?

Plus, the election results as viewed through the prism of American politics, and @jpodhoretz recommends the movie Confession.

We should not blame Zelensky for refusing to allow his country to be overrun, destroyed, and erased from the map.

The sub-Rothian sexual humor that marred some of his earlier work has been burned away by fury and sorrow, even as familiar Jacobsonian tropes and themes—a nebbish protagonist, a half-mad brother, a mysterious mother, a tolerant shiksa wife, an errant daughter, treacherous colleagues—remain present. But here they serve a greater purpose.

Does it require an astonishing level of innumeracy and economic ignorance to believe that when the U.S. gives Israel vouchers to buy weapons from American manufacturers—thus expanding American jobs and American manufacturing—it’s somehow taking eggs and bananas out of the mouths of theoretical Abdul El-Sayed voters?

Yes, it does.

All was going according to plan—until the Houthis struck the main airport in Riyadh, killing over a dozen and injuring hundreds and forcing flight cancellations.

LISTEN: The Israeli election is in full swing with the highest turnout in 50 years. What will this mean for the Arab parties, Netanyahu’s chances of survival, and will an Eisenkot victory expose American leftists who claim to only be anti-Bibi?

Plus, the midterms loom large with the Michigan race seemingly tied and reports that early voting turnout in the state is down.

Barrack was laying the groundwork for a partial American retreat from its responsibilities in the Middle East. But he did so at a time that once again raises the familiar question: On what planet does Tom Barrack currently reside?

Not everyone is comfortable risking the Hamasniks’ backlash or one of Javier Bardem’s blacklists to defend the Jews from the latest blood libel. But those who are comfortable doing so unapologetically have lately been, like Feldshuh, straight-talking Jewish women of bubbe-ish vintage.
