Yaakov Lappin JNS, May 2, 2023 “… there is no political way to extend the embargo in the Security Council. Russia certainly will not support that, and neither will China. Hence, the struggle moves from the political-international frameworks to a broad political campaign in which Israel and the U.S. will have to activate a carrot-and-stick […]

Ilan Berman Washington Times, May 5, 2023 “America has the capability to deal with the Iranian nuclear threat, but it doesn’t have the political will to do so. Israel, by contrast, is in the opposite position; it has sufficient will, but lacks the capability to deal with the Iranian threat in a lasting fashion.” The Islamic […]
Seth J. Frantzman Jerusalem Post, May 9, 2023 “Tehran must tread carefully as it considers its next steps and how it wants to make moves relating to Israel’s operation.” Operation Shield and Arrow may be the first test for Iran’s ‘unity of fronts’ project, which is designed to ring Israel with threats and cause […]

Jerry A. Coyne and Anna I. Krylov WSJ, Apr. 27, 2023 “… scientific research can’t and shouldn’t be conducted via a process that gives a low priority to science itself.” Until a few months ago, we’d never heard of the Journal of Controversial Ideas, a peer-reviewed publication whose aim is to promote “free inquiry on controversial topics.” […]
Bruce Thornton, FPM Israpundit, May 2, 2023 “… he was an extreme Afrocentrist, author of many books describing how Greek civilization was stolen from Africa, how Aristotle robbed the library of Alexandria, and how the true Jews are Africans like himself.” A culture-war squall occurred recently over a Netflix series about Cleopatra, who is played by […]
John J. Miller National Review, Mar. 30, 2023 “Fascism was a European nationalist mass movement of the early 20th century that wanted to overthrow the liberal system. It cannot be revived in the terms of the cultural, social, and political structures of modern Western countries. … The basic rule of thumb is that the more […]
Victor Davis Hanson American Greatness, May 7, 2023 “Yesterday’s French revolutionary became today’s counterrevolutionary—and tomorrow’s decapitated.” The decade-long French Revolution that broke out in 1789 soon devolved into far more than removing the monarchy, as it became antithetical to the earlier American precedent. American notions of liberty and freedom were seen as far too […]

Matt Taibbi Racket News, May 6, 2023 “The concept theoretically represented a major shift, asking reporters to move from focusing on the what of news to why? and who from?” Last December, Michael Shellenberger reported in a #TwitterFiles thread that the Aspen Institute hosted a “Hack-and-Dump Working Group” exercise in the summer of 2020 titled, “Burisma Leak,” which predicted with uncanny […]
Becket Adams National Review, May 7, 2023 “Fellow journalists, including the Daily Beast’s Justin Baragona and former Washington Post opinion columnist Radley Balko, were quick to amplify Allyn’s false claim, racking up hundreds of combined likes and retweets.” On the last Saturday in April, before a rapt crowd of cheering journalists and B-list celebrities, President Biden declared the American press […]
Chaim Lax Algemeiner, May 3, 2023 “The United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, France, Australia, and the European Union’s messages all celebrated the decades-long relationships they share with the Jewish state, with the US noting that it was the first country to recognize Israel, and Australia taking pride in the fact that it was one of the […]
Jonathan S. Tobin JNS, Apr. 28, 2023 “… the ADL’s attempt to brand Carlson’s concerns about the spread of transgender ideology or the way it has been used to endanger children as homophobic is equally wrongheaded. It’s also out of touch with the concerns of ordinary citizens who view the way mainstream liberals have embraced […]

Sinan Ciddi National Interest, Apr. 28, 2023 “… one can observe that, from the outset, this opposition bloc never prioritized the rule of law and democratic governance issues beyond rhetoric.
