Nancy A. Youssef and Vivian Salama WSJ, Oct. 12, 2022 “We see no reason why American troops and contractors should continue to provide this service to countries that are actively working against us,” the legislators wrote in a statement, adding that Saudi Arabia and the U.A.E. were effectively aiding Russian President Vladimir Putin in […]
Andrew C. McCarthy National Review, Oct. 8, 2022 “The Arab Spring, in conjunction with the Muslim Middle East’s internecine bloodletting that followed the American exit from Iraq and continued unabated in the barbaric war in Syria, reshuffled the Islamist deck. The Saudi regime and the Brotherhood became bitter enemies.” ‘We were hoping to establish […]
Brandon J. Weich Washington Times, Oct. 17, 2022 “Clearly, Mr. Biden cannot tell friends from foes. Namely, Iran is a foe whereas Saudi Arabia, for all its imperfections, is a friend.

Sholom Aleichem Tablet, Oct. 9, 2020 “I took stock of all the other flags, then looked back at my own. What a contrast. Theirs weren’t even fit to hold a candle to mine. My flag was the most successful of all, for who had as much wax as me?” When I was a little […]
Philologos Mosaic Magazine, Sept. 20, 2018 “But was this an actual Simḥat Torah service? I have my doubts.” “One of the most famous foundational stories in the narrative of Anglo-Jewry,” it was called by Tablet several years ago.

Prof. Rabbi Marty Lockshin The Torah.com, Oct. 9, 2022 “Is this modern-sounding idea—that life without progress is meaningless—really Kohelet’s worldview?” In 1855, Adolph Jellinek (1821–1893) published a commentary on Kohelet (Ecclesiastes) from a late 13th century manuscript in Codex hebr. 32 (henceforth, “Hamburg 32”). The copyist opens the commentary with the words פי’ של ר’ שמואל […]

Peter Rough NY Post, Sept. 29, 2022 “Instead of condemning Ukraine to years of warfare and counting on European solidarity in perpetuity, the US should set as its goal Ukrainian victory.” On Friday, Russian President Vladimir Putin is set to deliver a widely anticipated speech celebrating the annexation of Ukrainian territory into the Russian Federation. […]
Chris Miller WSJ, Sept. 29, 2022 “The Russian military knows that its most advanced systems depend on smuggled or improvised components of questionable reliability.” The Russian military has blundered repeatedly during the seven months since its armies stormed into Ukraine, but if Kyiv’s successful counteroffensives had to be explained with just one word, […]
Holman W. Jenkins, Jr. WSJ, Oct. 7, 2022 “The U.S. is accused of pouring money into a corrupt government. Ukraine has had corruption problems but so have we, and much of the money is actually going to Alabama and Arkansas, where Javelins and Himars are made, and to Tennessee and Missouri, U.S. centers of ammunition […]
Michael R. Pompeo Hudson Institute, Oct. 3, 2022 “If Mr. Putin should employ a nuclear weapon, Taiwan will be next, and Iran will be animated to attack Israel with nuclear-armed missiles.” America and NATO must seek a decisive victory for Ukraine. Victory must be attained quickly on Ukraine’s terms. Only this will save lives. It […]
