Journal Editorial Report: Paul Gigot interviews Alaska GOP Senator Dan Sullivan.

The former president said so in a 73-word statement on Oct. 9. But on Oct. 23, in a 1,130-word statement, Mr. Obama called for Israeli restraint.

Hamas said Tuesday that an Israeli airstrike on a Gaza City hospital killed at least 500 Palestinians. Turns out it wasn’t Israeli, it wasn’t an airstrike, it didn’t hit the hospital, nowhere close to 500 people were killed, and Hamas knew it. The evidence indicates that a rocket launched by Palestinian Islamic Jihad is the likely culprit.

Wonder Land: For Hamas in Israel and Putin in Ukraine, killing the innocent is now part of the plan.

David Ben-Gurion reads Israel’s Declaration of Independence in 1948. Americans since the day of the founding have worried their country is in decline. What other nation’s soul has been reported lost so many times, only to resurface in times of trial? In “Impossible Takes Longer,” Daniel Gordis, a leading English-language Israeli writer, puts the Jewish state under the microscope by investigating how it measures up to the ideals set forth 75 years ago in its Declaration of Independence. Turning to a founding document for judgment will strike Americans as perfectly natural—it is no coincidence Mr. Gordis, now 63, moved to Israel in 1998 from the U.S.—but the method comes with difficulties.
After a long month of attacks on Jews in New York City, the big guns held a symposium at a Manhattan synagogue Monday. Kathy Hochul , Sen. Chuck Schumer and Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas pledged to fight anti-Semitism. Americans Against Antisemitism has studied 194 anti-Jewish assaults and 135 property incidents in New York City since 2018 but can identify only two offenders who have been sentenced to prison. Others receive probation or counseling or their charges aren’t followed up. “There are practically no serious consequences to be had,” the group concludes in a July report.
