Kirk's passing cannot be separated from the deeper crisis facing America and Israel: the rise of political violence. Whether in Jerusalem or Washington, we've seen rhetoric become bullets.

The words of the Spanish prime minister, driven by domestic political calculations, should not go unanswered. Defaming Israel or taking steps harmful to its national interests isn't free.

As blood is spilled on Jerusalem’s streets, the international community rushes toward a predetermined outcome that ignores these harsh realities.
