Welcome back to this especially happy topic. Where we left off, Israel had just defeated yet another Arab invasion and had just wrapped up the last of its conventional wars. However, if that meant the people of Israel could rest easy I wouldn't be writing this series. Instead, the 50 years since Israel's last conventional war have been plagued...

The week of March 10, the Jesuit Varsity Debate Team embarked on one of the most important tournaments they participate in. They put up an impressive performance in the 2024 Texas Forensic Association State Tournament and made Jesuit proud. The 88-team Houston-based event saw three teams of ours qualify, ending solidly and with an optimistic outlook from the Jesuit...

Part 3 of this series is about the 1973 Yom Kippur War, perhaps the closest call in Israel's history. The IDF's complacency and cockiness almost caught up with it this time, and this war would redefine all nations involved.

The Hamas militants utilized bulldozers, drones, small boats, and even para gliders to invade Israel. Thousands and thousands of rockets have been launched at Israeli civilians.

Many in the west celebrated the fall of Communism as a triumph. But the people of Yugoslavia saw it as a dark omen, as storm clouds gathering. In the decade to come, the slaughter of thousands, man and woman, adult and child, Croat and Serb, Bosnian and  Albanian would commence on a scale not seen in Europe since the...
