Thomas Fazi UnHerd, May 24, 2023 “Kissinger’s defenders focus on his diplomatic achievements, which are hard to dispute.” How one chooses to celebrate Kissinger’s Century depends on where you sit in the “Kissinger wars”. To his detractors, Henry Kissinger was an imperialist who pursued US global supremacy with unmatched ruthlessness and cynicism. To his supporters, […]

Oded Eran INSS, November 2022 “Reading Indyk’s book left me no doubt that his first aim in writing the work is the desire to change opinions, beliefs, and impressions that have emerged regarding the book’s subject matter due to his own experience in Israel during the Yom Kippur War in 1973.” Indyk, Martin. Master […]
Tunku Varadarajan WSJ, May 26, 2023 “What Mr. Kissinger sees when he looks at the world today is “disorder.” Eight years—that’s all the time Henry Kissinger was in public office. From January 1969 to January 1977, Mr. Kissinger was first national security adviser and secretary of state under Presidents Richard Nixon and Gerald Ford, holding both titles concurrently for more […]

Eli Kavon Jerusalem Post, May 31, 2022 “The Sinaic revolution, by demanding a belief in one God, without form or shape, who was the sole creator of the universe, who willed the cosmos into existence and invested humanity with the power to choose to do good or evil, overturned the existing belief systems of great […]
Dr. Tzvi Novick The Torah.com, May 27, 2020 “What, ultimately, is the elemental glue that binds Israel into a people?” Mutual Covenantal Responsibility at Sinai The famous rabbinic dictum has it that כל ישראל ערבים זה בזה “all Israelites are guarantors one for the other,” or in other words, that each is responsible to “pay” […]
Shaul Magid Times of Israel, May 23, 2023 “As I understand Shagar, he is suggesting that revelation changes everything. But while Badiou suggested that the event changes everything by destroying what came before, Shagar suggests that what existed before the event is not destroyed, but transformed by it.” With the conclusion of Passover last […]
Elliot J. Cosgrove Sapir, Vol 3, Autumn 2021 “Mitzvot are the sacred shibboleths by which Jews build conscious community.” For a people as numerically modest as the Jews, we have more than our fair share of civic, cultural, and advocacy organizations in service of Jewish continuity. From historical societies to Holocaust memorials, […]

Avi Benlolo National Post, May 5, 2023 “In the United Church and in many other “progressive” circles, there is a disconnect between understanding the antisemitism that allowed the Holocaust to happen and the anti-Israel boycotts that have re-energized modern antisemitism.” As an academic and educator in Holocaust studies, I have given much thought over […]
Dion J. Pierre Algemeiner, May 19, 2023 “Although there was an almost insignificant decrease from last year, antisemitic incidents continue to occur at an unacceptable and dangerous pace. Frankly, the amount of hate directed at Canadian Jews is shameful.” The number of antisemitic hate crimes in Toronto, Canada recorded in 2022 remained above pre-pandemic […]
Andrea Freedman Ottawa Citizen, Dec. 16, 2022 “… it came to light that Canadian MPs from all parties (Bloc Québécois, Conservatives, Greens, Liberals and NDP), including federal cabinet minister Omar Alghabra and Green Party Leader Elizabeth May, attended a reception on Parliament Hill at which a Holocaust denier and terrorist sympathizer, Nazih Khatatba, was also present.” Less than a […]
Alex Goldenberg and Becca Wertman-Traub National Post, May 13, 2023 “This is not just an American phenomenon, as similar trends have emerged in Canada.” If there is anything positive from Kanye West’s anti-Jewish screeds last fall, it is perhaps that more people are now aware of both fringe and mainstream actors who, with the […]

: Andrew C. McCarthy, National Review, May 16, 2023 “… the most sensible interpretation of the evidence Durham has amassed is not that the FBI, in evaluating its collusion evidence, failed to weigh intercepted Russian intelligence about that strategy. It is that the FBI was well aware of Clinton’s strategy, fully expected Clinton to be […]
