Fred Maroun Times of Israel, Aug. 25, 2022 “… pro-Palestinian advocacy is centered on an antisemitic lie.” A few days ago, the Canadian government cut funding to a so-called anti-racism group after it was revealed that one member of the group had posted antisemitic material on social media. The member in question, Laith Marouf, a “senior consultant”, […]
Rex Murphy National Post, Aug. 31, 2022 “… has Chrystia Freeland denounced Laith Marouf and the grants he was given? Talked to the ministers who gave them?” Since we seem to be amidst something of a — wonderful phrase this — “teachable moment” about nasty and vulgar terms tossed at political figures, and we have […]
Barbara Kay Epoch Times, Aug. 22, 2022 “If the cretinous Marouf had been an antisemite of the kind progressives are comfortable dealing with from a moral high ground—a white neo-nazi—they would have kicked him to the curb with the speed of summer lightning. As an extreme left-winger, he presents a conundrum for progressive politicians.” Minister […]
Michael Geist, Aug. 29, 2022 “… it leaves me dismayed that somehow a case of government funding an anti-semite did not spark the same reaction. If it falls predominantly to the Jewish MPs to speak out, the message in the silence from Pablo Rodriguez and many other cabinet ministers is that anti-semitism is a Jewish […]

Caroline Glick JNS, Aug. 18, 2022 “The apathy afflicting everyone from moderate Democrats to conservative Republicans, from Jewish American groups to Christian Zionist groups to national security lobbies is particularly stunning because Biden’s nuclear deal is even worse than Obama’s was. Not only does it give nuclear license to Iran, Biden’s agreement ushers in an […]
Seth J. Frantzman Jerusalem Post, Aug. 29, 2022 “We have declared many times that nuclear weapons have no place in our nuclear doctrine.” Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi gave a speech on Monday in which he outlined Iran’s regional and domestic goals. It contained an interesting and important series of talking points that hinted at the regime’s focus. […]
Danielle Pletka The Dispatch, Aug. 24, 2022 “… it can be confident that the agreement will survive, because ultimately INARA requires two-thirds supermajorities in both houses of Congress to block an agreement, a prospect with precisely zero likelihood given the current partisan environment.” Like deja vu all over again, it seems the United States is […]

Lahav Harkov Jerusalem Post, Aug. 28, 2022 “In 2030, the Iran deal expires entirely, without limits on uranium enrichment, on stockpiling, heavy water reactors, or plutonium.” After months of hibernation, Iran nuclear talks woke up again last month, when the European Union presented what it said was the final draft of the deal on July 21. Since then, Iran […]

EER Editorials European Eye on Radicalization, Aug. 10, 2022 “… the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) focused huge resources on finding Zawahiri, and then it took months to plan the strike.” United States President Joe Biden announced on 1 August that Al-Qaeda’s leader Ayman al-Zawahiri had been killed in a drone strike in Afghanistan’s capital, Kabul, on 30 […]
Seth G. Jones National Interest, Aug. 20, 2022 “The lack of partner forces, scant intelligence, and no nearby bases leave the United States severely hamstrung in conducting counterterrorism operations in Afghanistan.” One year after the U.S. military withdrawal from Afghanistan, the Biden administration faces a complex counterterrorism challenge. The successful U.S. strike in July 2022 […]
Claire Parker Washington Post, Aug. 19, 2022 “Though Taliban leaders pledged in a 2020 agreement with the United States to prevent Afghanistan from becoming a haven for terrorist groups, the killing of al-Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri in a U.S. drone strike in Kabul last month seemed to indicate ongoing ties between the groups. In contrast, the […]
Fazelminallah Qazizai and Chris Sands New Lines, Aug. 1, 2022 “The Taliban now knew that they only had to wait and final U.S. troops would soon be gone. So did ISKP and the Islamic State central.” It was Aug. 15, 2021, and the last U.S. troops were still sheltering at Kabul airport, waiting for the […]
