Israel waged the Six Day War in June 1967. The 12-Day War with Iran in June 2025. And now, in 2026, the 12-hour war. Again with Iran. Again in June.
To help make sense of what happened, what the country experienced, and what it means going forward, it is useful to look at other examples.
In a Jerusalem Institute for Strategy and Security Zoom briefing this week, former National Security Council head Yaakov Amidror and Eran Lerman, a former senior NSC official, turned to two seemingly unlikely examples: North Korea and Google.
The week’s events made it clear to everyone in Israel that there is no free lunch. US President Donald Trump’s support for Israel – the steps he has taken across the board over the years to assist the country – is not without a cost.

Chareidim are rioting around the country, shutting down roads and train lines, screaming Nazi and Shiksa at people who just want to get past, attacking the police, setting fires and assaulting women. Any thoughts as to how this community has gone completely nuts "in the name of Torah!"?
