(Commentary) Seth Mandel - A July 5 New York Times headline read: "The Cost of Victory: Israel Overpowered Its Foes, but Deepened Its Isolation." The headline's claim doesn't even hold up. Israel had the use of Syrian airspace for its attacks on Iran, and Jerusalem and Damascus are in negotiations over burying the hatchet completely. Flying over the Arab world to take out Iran's air defenses is a sign not of isolation but of integration. The article says, "Netanyahu's relentless and unapologetic military response to the Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas-led attack...has cemented the view of Israel as a pariah, its leadership accused of genocide and war crimes, and disdained by some world leaders." A quick search shows the Times warning of Israel's "pariah" status - using that exact word - for nearly 20 years. Israel's leadership has been "accused of genocide and war crimes" since 1982. Israel's bad press is made of 100% recycled material. Israel's government is "disdained by some world leaders"? - as if that's a new development. The president of France disdaining the Jewish state is what we call "the status quo." Israel won a defensive war. And its enemies and critics are struggling to cope.2025-07-08 00:00:00Full Article
