Michael Oren Clarity with Michael Oren, Dec. 30, 2024 “Carter wasn’t satisfied with merely libeling Israel. His final decades were devoted to whitewashing Hamas and presenting it as an organization opposed to terror and dedicated to peace.” Among many other time-tested attributes, the Jewish people have a long memory. Aid us in the manner of […]

Philip Klein National Review, Dec. 29, 2024 “Carter began coaching Arafat on how to not frighten democracies by using inflammatory rhetoric: it was a strategy that would eventually lead to the Oslo Agreements of September 1993.” The popular narrative surrounding Jimmy Carter’s legacy is that he was a terrible president but an even worse former […]

Anonymous The JC, Dec. 27, 2024 “Producers of culture should not be claiming fiction as fact. Artists interested in “social justice” should not be turning this ideal on its head.” We live in an age in which the words “genocide”, “apartheid”, “colonisation” and “ethnic cleansing” are swiftly losing all meaning and, as the recently […]

Richard M. Reinsch II Civitas Outlook, Dec. 11, 2024 “Israel’s defense of its collective existence could portend not only the defeat of its enemies but also remind a deeply confused and morally troubled West that it cannot hide behind humanity and escape from itself.” Israel’s defense of its national home has provoked a Western political […]
Brendan O’Neill Spiked, Dec. 27, 2024 “This is the dark irony of the activist class’s noisy denunciation of Israel as Nazi-like – Israel has done more to reprimand neo-fascism than these people ever will.” In 2024, the Jewish State did more to combat racial hatred than any of its preening critics in the West. In […]
Melanie Phillips Mosaic, Dec. 26, 2024 So how should we explain this? And what can we do about it? There are three kinds of anti-Semites who matter: Muslims, liberals, and the hard left. There is a fourth group—the extreme right—but although this is a growing problem, it’s insignificant relative to the other three. Once upon a […]
Amoz Asa-El Jerusalem Post, Dec. 20, 2024 “In Israel, the Center’s political will, though embattled, is intact and set to resurge.” Like a pod of beached whales, the four democratic powers’ leaders committed political suicide one after the other, raising questions about the ailments, and longevity, of the free world. This week, German Chancellor Olaf […]

Mois Navon Lehrhaus, Dec. 10, 2023 “… who is the intended audience for “publicizing the miracle”?” On Oct. 7, 2023, the day that has come to be called “the Black Sabbath,” our enemies darkened our eyes and our world. To overcome them, we must fight them with light. Of course, I do not mean to […]
Richard Hidary Jewish Review of Books, Dec. 27, 2016 “The early rabbis rejected these books from the canon not only because of the late date of their composition but likely also because they wanted to suppress their revolutionary message.” In his response to Rabbi Shlomo Riskin’s review of his book, Not in God’s Name, Rabbi […]
Lewis H. Glinert Mosaic Magazine, Dec. 14, 2017 What have they done to my song? The medieval Ashkenazi maestro who penned the poem we now call Maoz Tsur (in English, “Rock of Ages”) might well have asked this question. True, Mordechai—his name is encoded in the first five stanzas—is a mysterious figure; one can only surmise that […]
Meir Soloveitchik The Free Press, Dec. 26, 2024 “Churchill understood that the fire of Sinai was not only on that mountain, but also in Moses’s heart.” In darker times we look for light. Among Jewish images of illumination there are few more inspiring than one taken in the German city of Kiel in 1931. Akiva Posner, rabbi […]

*** David Samuels Tablet, Dec. 20, 2024 If anyone in the future cares enough to write an authentic history of the 2024 presidential campaign, they might begin by noting that American politics exists downstream of American culture, which is a deep and broad river. Like any river, American culture follows a particular path, which has […]
