Mathew Hennessey WSJ, July 2, 2023 “Some partisans claim liberal media bias isn’t real. Conservative howling to the contrary, they argue, is merely a product of the Baader-Meinhof phenomenon, also called “frequency illusion.” When you attune yourself to the possibility of bias, you can’t help seeing it everywhere. But this argument is itself an […]

Sean Durns JNS, July 9, 2023 “… the Post attempts to blame the Jewish state for Palestinian terrorism. Some reports insinuated that the increase in violence is due to the reelection of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.” “One cannot and must not try to erase the past merely because it does not fit the present,” former Israeli Prime Minister […]
Melanie Phillips Melanie Phillips Substack, July 7, 2023 “While any BBC apology is rare, this was wholly inadequate for such a malicious incident. The BBC’s reporting on Israel and the Palestinians is not only consistently distorted but actively promotes hatred of Israel and the Jews who support it.” Among the media’s customary Israel-bashers, reporting […]

Brent Kendall, WSJ, June 29, 2023 The Supreme Court’s 6-3 decision outlawing affirmative action in higher education produced more than 200 pages of jousting between different camps of justices, a clash that reflects a broader societal debate about racial inequality, historical discrimination and how to address it. Here are some of the highlights. Chief […]
Dan Schnur JNS, July 6, 2023 “Most statistical analyses demonstrate that the greatest beneficiaries of the court’s ruling will be applicants of Asian heritage, far more so than white or Jewish students.” For most of this year, we have been paying a tremendous amount of attention to the Israeli judicial system. But the U.S. […]
Ron Kampeas, Times of Israel, June 30, 2023 WASHINGTON (JTA) — Harvard’s 20th-century antisemitic Jewish quotas were a key part of the Supreme Court’s decision to gut affirmative action on Thursday, as the winning litigant and two conservative justices cited them in the landmark case. The 6-3 decision Thursday, authored by Chief Justice John Roberts, […]
Alison Durkee Forbes, June 29, 2023 “Students “must be treated based on his or her experiences as an individual—not on the basis of race. Many universities have for too long done just the opposite,” Chief Justice John Roberts wrote in his majority opinion for the court. “And in doing so, they have concluded, wrongly, that […]

Canaan Lidor Times of Israel, July 2, 2023 “There was no logic to the madness. The rioters just smash any shop in their path, there’s no selection.” Before sunset, Jonathan C. draws the curtains of his apartment in the Paris suburb of Sarcelles tightly and makes sure no light can be seen from outside. “I […]

Giullio Meotti Israel National News, June 28, 2023 “When my train stops in Farsta, there is silence on the platform. The evening papers say the subway has been closed so the culprits cannot escape. A line of lemmings starts walking back towards Farsta. All eyes on their phones. Nobody says anything. Silence is more unpleasant […]
Fiamma Nirenstein JNS, July 4, 2023 “As always with frenzied mass movements, this one soon came to concentrate on their perverted image of “the Jew.” The tragic police shooting of French 17-year-old Nahel Merzouk and the ensuing massive riots cannot but recall the murder of George Floyd by a police officer in Minneapolis in […]
Dominic Green WSJ, July 4, 2023 “Islam may now be the established religion of the banlieues, and ranting imams may be racking up the hits on TikTok as they celebrate the coming conquest of France, but Islam is also a secondary phenomenon in these riots.” As the riots in France abate, the reckoning starts. President Emmanuel […]

Dean Shmuel Elmas Globes, July 3, 2023 “Although it seems intuitively to us that welfare leads to a reduction in terrorism, it reduces the scope of those who join terrorism, not the intensity of terrorism and its participants.” The start of the operation in Jenin this morning by the Israel Defense Forces represents the culmination […]
