Do Israelis support an attack on Iran?
April 3, 2012 | 7:20 am
Two different polls show two very different results on what Israelis think about possible military action against Iran's nuclear program, but why?
‘Distancing’ from Israel is used to drive political and institutional agendas
April 2, 2012 | 8:52 am
My new policy paper for the JPPI finds that using the concept of distancing for one's own ends stymies discourse and ultimately proves counterproductive.

The tent movement is coming (back)
March 30, 2012 | 2:43 pm
New Kadima leader Mofaz wants to lead the protest, whereas for Prime Minister Netanyahu, a renewal of the campaign could be a problem.
So it’s “Shaul or Bibi” - but can Mofaz find the votes?
March 28, 2012 | 7:24 am
The former IDF chief and defense minister has unseated Tzipi Livni as head of Kadima, but many of the party's supporters have long since departed and it's unlikely he will have the same draw for the left-leaning voters of 2009.
So Israelis think that US Jewish support is “essential’’ – so what?
March 27, 2012 | 1:26 pm
A new poll by the Ruderman Family Foundation shows that almost all Israelis see the importance of American Jewish support. Some thoughts on these findings.

Factor panel: Israel can’t act in Iran without Obama’s consent
March 22, 2012 | 8:18 am
Seven out of our ten-strong panel do not believe that Israel can launch an attack on Iran without reaching some kind of understanding with Obama. In other words, they don’t really buy the subtle threat hidden repeatedly in Netanyahu’s speeches.
Is the US too supportive of Israel? That depends on one’s political affiliation
