Quote of the day:
"For years the Washington-Jerusalem axis has had a tiring debate about the essence of the "credible military threat" toward Iran, which will deter it from breaking into nukes. Well, the answer was given yesterday: a credible military threat is the one you feel when it's in your face. The Iranians felt it and decided that, with all due respect to Shahid Soleimani, the survival of the regime is paramount."
--Yedioth's Middle East analyst, Shimrit Meir, examines the Iranian retaliation to the US assassination of Iranian commander Qassem Soleimani.*

Quote of the day:
“When Muslims and Jews meet, even outside of the Middle East, they often feel insecure and suspicious. Even my desire to learn about Jews and Judaism, while living in Gaza, was something I was reluctant to share with others. And if I had never left, I would never have met Jews or Israelis outside of a military confrontation. I would always have been scared of them.”
Mohammed M. writes in Haaretz how being hosted by a Jewish family while participating in a US leadership program that brings Palestinians and Israelis to Washington D.C. to live and work together changed his views.*
