In 2013, President Barack Obama suggested the time had come to end America’s forever wars in favor of targeted strikes on terrorists.

On June 20, Toronto District School Board (TDSB) trustees voted 15-7 to add the term “anti-Palestinian racism” to its anti-racism strategy. As a result, a new working group will be established to create a stand-alone strategy to address anti-Palestinian racism and discrimination in schools, and the board will introduce a “professional learning series” on the topic.

On Saturday, the Israel Defence Forces, along with other branches of Israel’s security establishment, carried out Operation Arnon — a hostage rescue mission described by many as one of the most daring and complicated in military history. Disguised as displaced Palestinians, covert Israeli special forces made their way through dauntingly complex urban terrain controlled by...
