VDH UltraThe Players of the Gazan “War” and Their Strategies: Part Two: Iran and the Arab World
Victor Davis Hanson Iran Iran believes in defense-in-depth.

VDH UltraThe Players of the Gazan “War” and Their Strategies: Part One: the Terrorists of Hamas and Hezbollah
Hamas Hamas was quite clever in lying to the IDF, Mossad, and the Israeli government that it was finally resigned to fostering its own internal development. Its guest workers inside Israel—sometimes 20,000 a day—supposedly were emissaries of goodwill and would spike prosperity in Gaza. Hamas talked of its rivalries with the Palestinian Authority and for […]
The Mindset of Our Anti-Semites
Victor Davis Hanson American Greatness Peruse campus literature. Watch clips from university protests. Scan interviews with pro-Hamas protestors.

Take their following tired talking points: “Refugees” We are […]

Victor Davis Hanson American Greatness There is something surreal, even sick about the current Gazan war. Throughout European and American cities and campuses, tens of thousands of Middle East immigrants and students, and radical leftists chant nonstop “Free Palestinian from the River to the Sea.” More recently, they are also yelling, “Israel, you can’t hide, […]
VDH UltraWho Created the Monsters Among Us?
Victor Davis Hanson Students at UCLA and on other campuses, some of them on foreign student visas, and others on some sort of taxpayer-funded support, are now marching with the chant, “Israel, Israel you cannot hide, we charge you with genocide.” So, Hamas gunmen break into Israel, slaughter over 1,000 civilians, mutilate them, behead some, […]

VDH UltraA New Generation of Monsters?
Victor Davis Hanson What are we to think after watching the demonstrations on our campuses that broke out after the Hamas butchery, but even before the Israeli response? 1) That this generation of college students who mouth “apartheid” or “colonization” know nothing about either? And why not, given their curricula are entirely therapeutic? Would these […]
A Therapeutic Middle East Versus A Tragic One
Victor Davis Hanson American Greatness Classical diplomacy warns leaders to be neither obsequious and appeasing abroad, nor gratuitously boastful and hard-headed. The usual advice is don’t-tread-on-me resoluteness, or what Teddy Roosevelt characterized as “speak softly and carry a big stick.” The alternatives – whether “speak loudly and carry a twig,” “speak softly and carry a […]

VDH UltraMiddle Eastern Mysteries
Victor Davis Hanson Try to fathom the following unimaginable: 1) Why do Middle Eastern terrorists when committing murder and mayhem dress in casual civilian clothes, but when there is no danger their “commanders” usually for photo-ops outfit themselves in fatigues? Should it not be reversed: the killers wear uniforms, and their “civilian” overseers do not? […]

Premodern Diversity Vs. Civilizational Unity
Victor Davis Hanson American Greatness Few Romans in the late decades of their 5th-century AD empire celebrated their newfound “diversity” of marauding Goths, Ostrogoths, Visigoths, Huns, and Vandals. These tribes en masse had crossed the unsecured Rhine and Danube borders to harvest Roman bounty without a care about what had created it. Their agendas were […]
