Abrams Tablet, Aug. 30, 2023 “Today, the preeminence of the Jewish-liberal alliance is threatened not from the right but by the rising power and increasing population of Jewish progressives.” For the past century, American Jews have consistently leaned to the left of most other Americans. Exceptions, like Orthodox Jews or recent immigrants, […]

Luke Tress Times of Israel, Dec. 28, 2022 “Jews fare better in open, liberal environments, and less well in closed, illiberal environments. There is nothing inherent about illiberalism spawning antisemitism, but there is — given Jewish history — something inevitable about it.” In May 2021, as Israel again battled terrorists in the Gaza Strip, […]
David Bernstein Quillette, Oct. 13, 2022 ”At the end of the meeting, one of the organizers drew the black participants into a circle. She preached, “I was blind but now I am Woke.” The participants repeated the chant and loudly proclaimed “Amen.” At this point, I realized that the call to be woke was, in fact, a […]
Naya Lekhet Jerusalem Post, Aug. 13, 2023 “… progressivism has a great response to this point, which in many ways is a contradiction to being progressive and a Zionist: in a hierarchy of marginalization, Jews are near the bottom.

Efraim Inbar Asia Times, Aug, 3, 2023 “It is undesirable to exacerbate tensions with the US over a non-existential issue for the State of Israel.” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has announced plans to travel to China, which has been encouraging such a visit.

Linette Lopez Business Insider, Aug. 29, 2023 “China’s property market makes up about 30% of the country’s GDP, making it the cornerstone of the economy. It’s also a sector where crucial data has been vanishing since the end of last year.” China’s economy is turning into a big black blob. This transformation means that […]

Tobin JNS, Aug. 25, 2023 “The problem with these assumptions is that those condemning Ben-Gvir are ignoring not only the context of his comments but also why a heretofore marginal figure has risen so far in Israeli politics.” So much of what has been tearing Israel apart in the last several months […]
David Brinn Jerusalem Post, Aug. 25, 2023 “Regardless of his ideology or motives, I’ll still keep telling visitors that I really believe that Israel would like nothing better than to demolish the security barriers and dismantle the checkpoints.
