Gemunder Center Distinguished Fellow IDF Maj. Gen. (ret.) Yaakov Amidror on Israel's Active Defenses
A JINSA EXCLUSIVE:
Israel's Active Defenses: Tactical Success with Strategic Implications
By IDF Maj. Gen. (ret.) Yaakov Amidror
Over the course of its history, Israel has faced a series of attempts to uproot the Jewish people from its land, including terrorism and massive conventional armies. Today the main threat comes from thousands of rockets and missiles in the hands primarily of Hezbollah, Hamas and their patron Iran. Israel's development of missile defenses to counter this threat is a technological triumph, but also creates a set of strategic dilemmas. Because these defenses can reduce its own casualties almost to zero, how can Israel justify self-defense against rocket and missile attacks when its enemies launch these weapons behind human shields? This has real implications for Israel's deterrence against adversaries like Hezbollah and Hamas.

Gemunder Center Senior Advisor Stephen Rademaker on the Dangers of Banning Nuclear Weapons Testing in The National Interest
Obama's Dangerous Drive to Ban Nuclear Weapons Testing
Speaking over seven years ago in Prague, President Obama declared it his goal to bring about "a world without nuclear weapons." While this goal was always about as realistic as committing to bring about a world without crime, poverty or war, subsequent events have proven especially unfriendly to Obama's "Prague Agenda."

2016 Military Academies Program
Military Academies Program participants with Israeli Finance Minister Moshe Kahlon.
JINSA's second delegation of cadets and midshipmen from the 2016 Military Academies Program returned from Israel on August 9 after completing two weeks in an intensive educational program that took future American military officers all across the country, from the northern borders with Lebanon and Syria, where they heard and saw several large explosions from just across the border, to the Negev Desert on an unforgettable experience. In addition to seeing the historical sites and borders, the cadets and midshipmen also heard expert lectures from retired senior officers, national security and defense experts, journalists, and professors. According to many of the participants, the highlight was spending a week with junior IDF officers and gaining their knowledge and insights while making memories and friendships that will last long into their military careers.
As one cadet said, " The trip here with JINSA and with the military academies has been the highlight of my West Point career. JINSA has put us face to face with a lot of amazing people, a lot of amazing situations and locations...The importance of the relationship between Israel and the United States has been really solidified in my mind."

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: The growing ties between Israel and the region's Sunni Arab states are a result of instability fueled by the growing power of Iran and Islamic State, and by US retrenchment. But unhindered public cooperation between Israel and these Arab states will necessitate an agreement between Israel and the Palestinians.
