Doug Saunders The Globe and Mail, Mar. 16, 2013 “Though Father Bergoglio was known to care for the poor, he had always opposed these more radical movements.

Michael Shellenberger Real Clear Politics, Nov. 7, 2024 “… if anybody really wants to understand why so many of us—even if we have our criticisms of Trump—feel relief and vindication at his victory, they need to consider that it has more to do with the repudiation of totalitarianism than with Trump as a person […]
Warren Zev Harvey The Omni-American Review, Vol. 1, 2024, no date “It is time to break with the lachrymose theory of [Jewish] woe, and to adopt a view more in accord with historic truth.” He forcefully rejected as untrue the dominant view among scholars which saw Jewish history as nothing but a bleak succession of […]
Melanie Phillips Substack, Nov. 20, 2024 “… it was hatred of Jews; and hatred of Jews seems to be a non-hate thing altogether.” According to The Times (UK £), doctors, vicars, social workers and other professionals have been investigated by the police for “non-crime hate incidents”. Oh — so too have nine year-olds. Eh? Say again?! […]
Gary Saul Morson Commentary, July/Aug. 2024 “Today we can ask: Why do so many cheer, or at least not object, when they witness mobs embracing the bloodthirsty and sadistic Hamas?

Nadav Shragai Israel Hayom, Nov. 14, 2024 “Erdogan’s congratulations to President-elect Donald Trump on his victory should remind the American president of Turkey’s deceptive overtures to Israel just two years ago.” Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan‘s support for Hamas and hostility toward Israel have reached a critical point, with Turkey providing sanctuary to Hamas operatives while […]
Sinan Ciddi Washington Examiner, Nov. 16, 2024 “Erdogan’s championing of Hamas is entrenched. Turkey is the only country inside the NATO alliance and, certainly, the only U.S. ally that openly embraces Hamas as a group of “resistance fighters.”” Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan feels he has reason to be optimistic. He was bracing for the election of Vice President Kamala […]

Ruthie Blum JNS, Nov. 18, 2024 “Thomas-Greenfield, like her boss Blinken and the rest of the outgoing administration, has been focused on currying favour with the world’s malign actors.” Whether the Biden administration is planning a last hurrah for the Jewish state at the United Nations—a lame-duck good riddance, à la Barack Obama, in the […]
Jonathan S. Tobin JNS, Nov. 15, 2024 “With Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) as secretary of state, Pete Hegseth as defense secretary and Waltz, Huckabee, Witkoff and Stefanik in charge, there is no longer any question whether the second Trump administration will take a very different, far more pro-Israel position than the stands of the Biden/Harris administration […]
