Wisse Mosaic Magazine, June 16, 2022 “… where Judaism is targeted by political correctness, I am affirming the right of Jews to maintain their Judaism.” From the Hebrew Bible through the Netanyahu family, the survival and flourishing of Jewish civilization has depended on what could be called a series of profiles in […]

By Moshe Phillips As we approach the 80th anniversary of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising there can be no doubt that the mainstream media will cover the occasion. For example, CNN is asking “Was your family affected by the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising in 1943? Leave CNN a voicemail” (source: https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/was-your-family-affected-by-the-warsaw-ghetto-uprising-in-1943-leave-cnn-a-voicemail/ar-AA18R4rv). Whatever CNN and other news outlets may produce this year, […]
Elliot Abrams Council on Foreign Relations, Mar. 16, 2023 “As courts consider whether to override decisions of elected officials, they must also rely on some standard by which to judge those actions. Where there is a written constitution, it provides the standard.” Israel’s current—and deeply divisive—debate over changes in the role of its Supreme […]
Daniel J. Arbess WSJ, Mar. 17, 2023 “Israel could consider reforming the structure of its constitution from the British parliamentary mode to an American-style separation of powers that would be adapted for Israel’s unique needs.” Street demonstrations and political drama over Israel’s judicial-reform debate have some people wondering whether the end of Israeli democracy is […]
Michael Starr Jerusalem Post, Feb. 3, 2023 “What we are seeing now is part of the backlash to that because a lot of the people now would say the inland Supreme Court became too active,” explained Gross. “And [they would say] ‘we want to kind of bring the power back to the people rather than […]
Dan McClaughlin National Review, Mar. 28, 2023 “The Biden administration, which never misses an opportunity to attack judicial review by independent courts in the United States or treat foreign policy as a proxy war against domestic enemies, has taken sides against the judicial overhaul.” Be thankful that America has a written Constitution. The Founding Fathers were […]

Jonathan Tobin JNS, Mar. 27, 2023 “Will that happen every time the right wins an election from now on? Probably. That means not only will the juristocracy defend its power, but its supporters are permanently committed to thwarting the will of voters who may continue to outnumber them in the future.” After […]
Netael Bandel Israel Hayom, Mar. 27, 2023 “The Supreme Court ruled this week that the attorney general is not in a conflict of interest by being involved with the attorney general’s law in the reform because “the clashing interests inherently constitute the role of the attorney general, who is responsible for giving legal advice.” This is […]
Ruthie Blum JNS, Mar. 26, 2023 “He was simply too intimidated by the unprecedented situation to know how to handle it. Such gutlessness hardly inspires confidence about his ability to deal with Tehran and its tentacles in Lebanon, Syria, and the Palestinian Authority.” To borrow the favorite epithet of the demonstrators in the streets of […]
Haviv Rettig Gur Times of Israel, Mar. 27, 2023 “To the half of the country that hadn’t voted for the coalition, the extreme version was the goal, not a tactic on the way to a more moderate version. One doesn’t negotiate the dismantling of democracy on the breakneck schedule of the dismantlers.” The Israeli […]
Melanie Phillips The JC, Mar. 23, 2023 “This mindset now unites most of the progressive classes in Israel, Britain and America. For them, ordinary people who don’t share their views are the “deplorables”. By contrast the judges — educated, liberal, cosmopolitan — are people like themselves.” Many appear to believe that the Israelis demonstrating […]

Tal Fortgang National Review, Mar. 22, 2023 “When did the Jewish tradition begin to embrace today’s notion of the “nonbinary,” and why is it news to the most devout Jews?” Not content to enlist their twisted understandings of to fight state laws protecting unborn children, progressive activists now have taken to claiming that Judaism’s “most sacred […]
