A war has erupted among right-wing commentators, with the term “woke right” emerging as the weapon of choice. At the center of this MAGA movement schism is the issue of Israel and a growing conservative backlash over the refusal of self-described opponents of cancel culture to stand up for the free speech rights of Americans…

Ahmed al-Sharaa, a founding member of ISIS and former commander of Syria’s al-Qaeda affiliate, is now being welcomed as a head of state.

Throughout history, fringe religious Zionist parties have had limited success in achieving the kind of electoral victories that would allow them an actual share in the country’s political decision-making. The impressive 17 seats won by Israel’s extremist religious party, Shas, in the 1999 elections was a watershed moment in the history of these parties, whose…
