Charlie Summers Times of Israel, Nov. 30, 2023 “As Nixon’s right-hand man, Kissinger often bore the brunt of the president’s antisemitic remarks. The president would publicly embarrass Kissinger by referring to him as his “Jew boy,” including during a meeting with Egyptian foreign minister Ismail Fahmi.” Henry Kissinger, the controversial diplomat responsible for some of the United States’ […]

Victor Davis Hanson American Greatness, Nov. 27, 2023 “For all the boasts about loving death, it was Hamas who cowardly murdered the unarmed, scampered back to the safety of their tunnels, and used their own kindred Gazans to shield them from death—delivered to them by supposed nerds who love life too much.” We know […]
William McGurn WSJ, Nov. 27, 2023 “… If colleges abandon their final cause, which is truth, their formal cause, which is civil discourse, soon breaks down into bullying, canceling, and extortion.” As Israel began exchanging Palestinian prisoners for Israeli moms and children, Harvard was dealing with its own ultimatum. A week ago pro-Palestinian students gave university […]
Barton Swain WSJ, Nov. 24, 2023 “Is it too simplistic to say that political leaders who don’t acknowledge any authority from above are likelier to impose their will by force? If we’re nothing more than globs of cells hurtling through a chaotic universe, why not coerce people into doing what you want them to do?” […]
Gerard Level The Washington Times, Nov. 23, 2023 “Jews are the only group in Western societies who, in spite of recurrent oppression and discrimination, are seemingly deprived of the right to be viewed as victims, even when they very clearly have incurred all of the indignities and suffering that should be more than adequate for being […]

Lauren Dagan Amoss Algemeiner, Nov. 27, 2023 “Until October 11, Japan did not address Hamas actions at all and did not explicitly acknowledge Israel’s right to self-defense. Only in the past two weeks has there been a noticeable shift in this approach: Japan expressed a willingness to convey messages to Iran to prevent escalation […]
Camille Lons European Council on Foreign Relations, Nov. 3, 2023 “The current global polarisation around the Israel-Palestine issue plays into Chinese and Russian narratives of a division between the West and the global south. Engaging with China on the current crisis would help defuse this false dichotomy on which Beijing is capitalising.” The […]
Eisa Moradi Afrapoli and Majid Dashtgard Stimson, Nov. 14, 2023 “China lacks a historic role in the creation of Israel and possesses neither a powerful domestic political lobby in support of the Jewish state nor a military or security commitment to ensure Israel’s survival.” The Middle East and the world at large were shocked by […]
Kiran Sharma Nikkei Asia, Nov. 4, 2023 “While New Delhi maintains ties with the Palestinian Authority, he said its policy was becoming “more publicly balanced, and even somewhat supportive of Israel on the issue of terrorism, where there are converging concerns.”” India’s response to the war in the Middle East is proving contentious at […]

Terry Glavin National Post, Nov. 22, 2023 “… there’s something else in the Irish psyche that’s impolite to mention in the comfy Dublin pubs and bistros of Portobello, Ranelagh and Rathmines. Not a few of Ireland’s gallant and celebrated champions of the underdog, its heroes of Irish freedom, were vulgar antisemites and Nazi collaborators.” There’s […]
englEmilie Botbol JNS, Nov. 7, 2023 “There is clearly reason for concern. Seeing people celebrating the massacre in London neighborhoods, calling for ‘jihad’ or ‘intifada’ at demonstrations and viciously tearing down posters of the hostages kidnapped by Hamas is sickening.” In a speech before the British Parliament on Tuesday, King Charles vowed that Britain would address “the […]
Etan Smallman Unherd, Nov. 9, 2023 “If the initial concerns of Jewish students — busily covering their skullcaps and Jewish-themed tattoos — were brushed off, it soon became clear that, if anything, they had underestimated the anti-Israeli atmosphere on campuses.” In my first year at university, in 2005, I vividly recall coming across a Guardian article by […]
