Andrew J. Nathan WSJ, Dec. 2, 2022 “… authoritarian hubris has trapped him between an exhausted populace and a relentless pathogen.

Ariel Sophia Bardi New Lines Magazine, Nov. 11, 2022 “Altneuland” was one of a spate of turn-of-the-century texts that sought to answer what Jewish autonomy would look and feel like.” Exactly a century ago, a cantankerous German aristocrat and a lovelorn Jewish lawyer from Vienna stepped off a private yacht onto the […]
Gil Troy Jewish Journal, Aug. 18, 2022 “Sometimes, he is more playwright than architect, as when he plots out the Jews’ redemption in three acts from “Introduction” to “Elevation” to “Emigration.”” Editor’s note: Excerpted from the new three-volume set, “Theodor Herzl: Zionist Writings,” the inaugural publication of The Library of the Jewish […]
Bonnie K. Goodman Times of Israel, Aug. 30, 2022 “Bettelheim described Herzl as the Congress’ president as “a miracle . . . as if King Solomon had arisen from his grave, because he could no longer bear the suffering of his people and its humiliation.’” On this day in history… August 29–31, 1897, Theodor Herzl convenes […]

Mary Harrington UnHerd, Dec. 7, 2022 “The Biden administration is fond of talking about “democracy” versus “autocracy,” but it might be more accurate to talk about swarmism and Caesarism. Swarmism is a kind of post-democratic democracy: a mutant form of liberal proceduralism, characterised by collective decision-making in which no one is ever individually […]
David Harsanyi The Federalist, Dec. 6, 2022 “… the Hunter story — with receipts, hard evidence, and on-the-record witnesses — had far more journalistic substantiation than virtually any of the anonymous one-source Russia-collusion “scoops” that Bump and The Washington Post peddled for years.” A rant. Mostly because the evidence confirms all my […]
Jordan Boyd The Federalist, Dec. 7, 2022 “Chan’s denial that the FBI ever discussed Hunter Biden with Big Tech companies directly contradicts testimony from Yoel Roth, the former head of trust and safety at Twitter. … He later confirmed that the FBI maintained a working censorship relationship with Roth “until the day” after […]
