The Jewish Chronicle, Jan. 19, 2024 “He revealed that there remained a significant level of suspicion from British spies towards their Israeli counterparts. “There is no doubt that Israel plays by a different set of rules than the rules that we observe in the UK. I’m not going to expand on that, but I will […]

Robert Philpot Times of Israel, Oct. 19, 2023 “I’m upset because I see the full extent of hatred for Jews among the nation that has been the home for my family for more than 100 years. And I’m angry that the police do almost nothing about these people who are quite open about wanting to […]
Daniel Ben-Ami Spiked, Feb. 1, 2024 “Some will no doubt try to argue that the issue here is not anti-Semitism, but rather that people are frustrated with Israel or are expressing opposition to Zionism. But this does not wash. If your opposition to Israel leads you to attack or agitate against Jews, then your ‘opposition […]
Robert Williams Gatestone Institute, Jan. 1, 2024 “Hamas has been operating for many years worldwide, mainly through covert humanitarian donations. It is a complex network of hatred operating in many countries, including Western and highly democratic ones.

Ruth R. Wisse Commentary Magazine, February 2024 “Where anti-Semitism and views that are profoundly anti-Israeli have traditionally been the primary preserve of poorly educated right-wing populists, profoundly anti-Israel views are increasingly finding support in progressive intellectual communities.” Forgive me for quoting myself, but there’s no other way to begin: “History rarely issues us a red […]
Liel Leibovitz City Journal, Jan. 30, 2024 “As long as the DEI machinery continues to hum, it will offer preposterous courses, exclude groups it finds undesirable, excommunicate its foes, and expunge all but the beliefs it champions.” If you’ve ever watched a monster movie, you know the scene. The triumphant heroes walk away, the […]
Caroline Downey National Review, Jan. 31, 2024 “The previous selection process was conducted in record time,” Pollak said of Gay’s selection. “It appears, though, the important questions were not asked. This time around, we will be asking all the uncomfortable questions. Is this the most qualified candidate? Is this candidate’s publication record high quality enough?” […]

Tony Badran Tablet, Jan. 30, 2024 “American universities have made either an exceedingly clever or else exceedingly reprehensible bargain: quota-filling at a profit.” Five weeks after Rutgers University suspended the New Brunswick campus chapter of Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) on Dec. 11 for violating several university policies, the school reversed its decision and reinstated […]

Brendan O’Neill Spiked, Jan. 29, 2024 “Most striking is the left’s attempts to downplay the seriousness of the charges against UNRWA.” I long ago lost faith in the left. But even I wouldn’t have believed it if you’d told me that one day they would spend Holocaust Memorial Day cheering an organisation whose members stand accused […]
Rachel O’Donoghue Honest Reporting Canada, Jan. 30, 2024 “While the BBC does reference some of UNRWA’s troubling history, it frames these issues as mere accusations from Israeli governments, which have “long denounced the agency’s teaching and textbooks for, in their view, perpetuating anti-Israel views.”” Following the release of evidence by Israel that Palestinian UNRWA employees […]
Jonathan S. Tobin JNS, Jan. 29, 2024 “If the past is any indication of the future, even those who have spoken out about this, like the United States, will eventually, even if quietly, resume full funding of UNRWA.” Let’s not get caught up in the details of the controversy that made headlines this past weekend about the […]
Jesse Kline National Post, Jan. 30, 2024 “On Oct. 7, as Hamas terrorists were indiscriminately slaughtering civilians in their homes and violently raping party-goers at a music festival, Safia Aidid, a professor at the University of Toronto, tweeted her “solidarity with the Palestinian people, today and everyday.”” The Israel-Hamas war has exposed an education […]
