What we publish
Analysts work from the ground — in Gaza, in Judea and Samaria, across Israel — with a quantitative methodology grounded in applied mathematics. Mitzpe also conducts original polling and field research.
The publication stack runs from the daily read to the bound book: the Israel Brief (daily), Field Dossiers (free and citable), Closed Dossiers (for Members), Vantage (monthly synthesis), Watchwords (the weekly Friday framing), Perimeter (quarterly diaspora security), and Mitzpe Press (books).
The conviction
We are still inside history, not beyond it.
The threats facing the Jewish people and the West are ancient, recognizable, and recurring. October 7 is what the end of the delusion looked like. Mitzpe’s work proceeds from the premise that clarity, under pressure, is still possible. Israel’s survival is the floor of every analysis Mitzpe publishes, not the ceiling.
