AM ISRAEL CHAI | POST | 4B5A6B

Israel is permitted to defend itself, but never permitted to prevail, so argues Douglas Murray in a sharp critique of the double standards applied to the Jewish state. In the wake of October 7, Murray scrutinizes the recurring calls for "proportionality," the global reaction to Israel's campaign against Hamas, and the unique criteria by which Israel is measured, standards that would never be imposed on any other nation acting to protect its own people. Israel is allowed to fight, he contends, but the world refuses to let it win.
