Jerry C. Davis WSJ, Jan. 26, 2023 “America was divided then, and it is divided now. This resolution, which is 50 years overdue, acknowledges this stain on American honor.” The Vietnam War ended with the signing of the Paris Peace Accords on Jan. 27, 1973. More than 50,000 Americans were killed in the war, and […]

Gershom Gorenberg, The VVA Veteran, January/February 2012 “Israel will not be alone unless it decides to go alone.” In other words: Don’t attack; we can’t back you up.” “You will certainly note,” Hal Saunders said, “that we had another problem on the other side of the world.” Saunders spoke in the quiet voice of […]
Dominic Sandbrook UnHerd, Jan. 23, 2023 “… some decided not only that American intervention in Vietnam had been a mistake, but that all interventions abroad must be illegitimate or misguided. American isolationism has a long history, but never has it enjoyed a bigger boost than it did in the early Seventies.” In the course of his troubled presidency, […]
Barton Swain WSJ, Jan. 20, 2023 “… in his view, America won—only in a different way. We stopped communism, which didn’t advance in Indochina any further than it reached in 1975.” When I was a teenager in the 1980s, popular culture had basically one message on the Vietnam War: that it was conceived in American arrogance, […]
Mara Oliva The Conversation, Jan. 9, 2023 “Military and government officials in both the Bush and Obama administrations deliberately misrepresented conditions in Afghanistan to appease an American public opinion suffering from war fatigue.” 2023 marks the 50th anniversary of the US withdrawal from Vietnam and the war still casts long shadows over American life.

Dominic Green WSJ, Jan. 24, 2023 “… these schools function as think tanks, facilitating valuable exchanges between academic theorists and real-world practitioners.” Should Kenneth Roth, recently retired executive director of Human Rights Watch, receive a fellowship at Harvard’s John F. Kennedy School of Government? In late July, the Kennedy School’s dean, Doug Elmendorf, rejected Mr. Roth’s […]
Alexander Joffe Algemeiner, Feb. 1, 2023 “By characterizing antisemitic harassment as “academic freedom” and framing complaints as mere unhappiness regarding “discourse on difficult topics,” the university dismissed concerns in a manner unique to Jewish issues.” As 2023 begins, several trends related to the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement have become clear. On […]
Andrew Lapin Israel National News, Jan 31, 2023 “The program looks wholly insensitive. Instead of being a commemoration of the Holocaust, it looks like it’s turning into an opportunity for celebration.” An event that took place at a Virginia university Thursday night to mark International Holocaust Remembrance Day was scheduled to feature lectures […]
Barbara Kay Epoch Times, Jan. 23, 2023 “The troubling reality is that there isn’t to my knowledge a single organization dedicated to Palestinian rights that accepts Israel’s legitimacy as a nation, or that accepts an attachment to their ancient homeland as a legitimate component of Jewish identity.” On January 27, 1945, the Auschwitz-Birkenau death camp, […]

Ari Blaff Newsweek, Sept. 13, 2022 “Abundant polling data demonstrates that Palestinians leaders broadly represent the values found on the Palestinian street.” It was said when Israel pulled out of Gaza. It was parroted when the halcyon days of Oslo crumbled into the bombed-out ruins of Israeli restaurants and discotheques. When democracy first came to the Palestinian territories. When […]
Melanie Philips Substack, Jan. 30, 2023 “The EU never loses an opportunity to defame Israel and pour money and support into illegal Palestinian activity in colonising land to which the Jews alone have a historic and legal claim.” Seven Israeli Jews were murdered outside a Jerusalem synagogue on Friday night, the start of the Jewish […]
Yossi Kuperwasser Israel Hayom, Jan. 20, 2023 “… the PA is a terror-promoting entity that has long since proven its commitment to the final objective of Israel’s annihilation.” Recent steps taken by the new Israeli government in retaliation for the Palestinian Authority’s appeal to the International Court of Justice (ICJ) represent the first indication […]
