Cited and covered

Where the analysis has been picked up

Other writers and newsrooms citing Mitzpe's work — quoting it, arguing with it, or sending their readers to it. Their bylines, not ours.

Written for other titles

Uri Zehavi, elsewhere

Pieces written for outlets outside Mitzpe and published there first. Not coverage of the institute, and not a reprint of anything that ran here — separate arguments, made in front of other readerships.

    On Campus Antisemitism, Shai Davidai Kept the Receipts

    On erev Pesach 2024, Shai Davidai walked up to Columbia's gate to go into the encampment and found his university ID deactivated. American Intellectual Antisemitism is his first-hand account of how Columbia's leaders behaved, and he kept the receipts: the official who told him Columbia "was not in the business of making moral condemnations," and the recording of officials who wouldn't say Hamas was a terrorist organization. He's at his best as a social psychologist, arguing that Students for Justice in Palestine runs on the ordinary forces in any campus group. The review wants more on his claim that Soviet-era propaganda shaped whole fields, and disagrees with him on a two-state solution.

    Your Israeli Election Primer: The Issues, What to Watch for Before and on Election Night

    The second half of the primer, out the day after the first: what's actually on the ballot, and how to read election night. The Israel Democracy Institute's August survey put the economy and cost of living first at 18 percent and security at 17.7, and for Arab voters crime in their own towns came first, at 31.5. The piece goes through the draft, which has had no law on the books since the High Court struck down the arrest freeze on 3 September; the fight over an October 7 inquiry; Gaza, Lebanon, and Iran; the courts; and the pressure from Washington and Europe that's waiting on the result. Then what happens after the vote: official results by 4 November, President Herzog's consultations, and 28 days, plus up to 14 more, to form a government. The exit polls come in at 4 PM Eastern on 27 October. Count to 61.

    Your Israeli Election Primer: It All Comes Down to 61

    Three weeks out from Israel's 27 October election, a primer on the number that decides it: 61, a majority of the 120-seat Knesset, which no Israeli voter marks on a ballot because nobody votes for prime minister. The piece walks the 3.25 percent threshold — somewhere around 165,000 to 170,000 votes on this year's roll, against about 417,000 ballots wasted on lists that missed it in 2022 — the surplus-vote deals due by 16 October, and the fact that Israelis abroad get no absentee ballot at all. Nineteen seat polls between 22 September and 7 October put Gadi Eisenkot's Yashar! at 20 to 23 and Likud's median at 21.

    Israel saved British lives. London rewarded them with sanctions

    Israeli intelligence warned MI5 of an imminent Iranian attack on RAF Fairford, and Netanyahu said that without the warning "it would probably have gone through." Britain relies on that intelligence to stop plots on its own soil, and sanctioned Israel anyway. The piece argues a country cannot treat as a pariah the ally whose warnings keep its people alive.

    Israel Mourns on Monday, So Should We

    Israel holds its ceremonies for the third yahrzeit on Monday the fifth. The cabinet took the 24th of Tishrei back in March 2024 because the 22nd is a festival and the 23rd is isru chag. Out here the 22nd is Shmini Atzeret on its own and Simchat Torah comes the next morning, so American shuls are still in chag on the Sunday Israel has clear. Three years on, Israel argues about hostages, commissions and the draft. We are still arguing about whether to dance.

    At the United Nations, Israel Has Stopped Arguing With the Room

    Netanyahu lands, speaks, and is gone by nightfall — no journalists on the plane, no meeting with the president, Rubio and a car. Israel's answer to this General Assembly is that it has stopped answering: Israelis vote on 27 October, so the hall is a stage and the audience is at home. Even Danon lists the campaign among the things that make the week hard.

    An Urgent Message for Oct. 7 Victims and Israelis Who Might Qualify for Financial Help

    Israelis hurt on 7 October 2023 have until 7 October 2026 to file, and the deadline is three years from the injury rather than a national cutoff — so it arrives quietly, per person, and most of the people it applies to have never been told it exists.

    Britain's Palestine campaign is in office

    The Palestine Solidarity Campaign stopped petitioning British councils and started staffing them — 1,468 councillors signed the pledge and 34 councils carry divestment motions, and unlike a minister's sanctions package, a council motion has nobody who can unmake it.

    The court left one way to draft haredi men

    The High Court voided the arrest shield on 3 September, so there is no exemption law and nothing standing between an evader and an induction order — about 101,000 open files, and 1,104 men the state actually managed to take in a year.

    Washington's Syria referee has a conflict

    Tom Barrack is building the Israel–Turkey deconfliction cell over Syria while serving as US ambassador to Ankara — one man, both jobs, and the second represents Washington to one of the two air forces the first is meant to keep apart.

    Nineteen Months. Then Five Days.

    The last UNRWA compound in Jerusalem was taken on 25 August, nineteen months after the law banning the agency took effect. What finally moved it was a High Court petition filed five days earlier — by the Knesset member who wrote the law, against the ministers who had not enforced it.

    Israel Sent Humanitarian Aid to Nepal — Why Does the Media Refuse to Report It?

    Israeli and Jewish aid groups had teams moving toward the Nepal flood zone within days, and almost nobody outside a Jewish readership heard about it. The piece argues the reason is not only bias: since 1975 the UN has funded a standing apparatus whose job is to give one kind of story about Israel maximum publicity, and there is nothing on the other side built to carry this one.

    Hamas Wants to Keep Its Arsenal, Just Change the Address

    Also at thealgemeiner.substack.com

    Eight foreign ministries asked Washington to enforce Israel's compliance with "the Comprehensive Plan and its Road Map" — merging two texts that part company on where Hamas's weapons end up. The Comprehensive Plan puts them permanently beyond use under independent monitors; the Road Map warehouses them inside Gaza under a Palestinian committee, with an express bar on handing them to Israel. Israel agreed to the first and never to the second.

    ISIS Taught Boko Haram to Jailbreak ChatGPT

    Islamic State operatives flew into Lake Chad with laptops and a projector, and taught Boko Haram's commanders how to get past the models' refusals. Every safeguard failed. What held them back was people — and people leave a payment trail. The companion to the Borrowed Fluency dossier.

    Gaza's Endgame Has Left Jerusalem

    Israel won the war in Gaza. The settlement of it moved to Cairo — to a Trump-chaired Board of Peace, a UN envoy, and mediators who do not answer to Jerusalem. On disarmament passing to rooms Israel has no seat in.

    While Iran Filled the Feed, an Embassy Opened

    While the cameras tracked the US–Iran deal racing toward signing in Switzerland, Somaliland's president opened an embassy in Jerusalem and almost nobody noticed. On what gets buried when one story fills the feed.
