Israel Shamay/Makor Rishon Israel Hayom, Mar. 12, 2025 “Parallel to its relations with the West, Oman plays a double game.” Nearly two weeks ago, phase one of the deal between Israel and Hamas concluded, with Israel halting humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip several days after its completion. In response, on Friday, the Houthi leader, Abdul-Malik al-Houthi, […]

Jonathan S. Tobin JNS, Mar. 26, 2025 “… once the president admitted the error, that was effectively the end of the story, despite the interest of left-wing media to keep it alive.” It was the gaffe that critics of the Trump administration have been praying for. However it happened, the inclusion of Atlantic editor Jeffrey Goldberg in a […]
Nathan Klabin/The Media Line The Jerusalem Post, Mar. 24, 2025 “By blaming Iran for the Houthis’ attacks, Trump is drawing a direct line between Iran’s regional ambitions and the broader security concerns of the international community.” Tensions between the United States and Iran have escalated significantly in recent weeks, partly due to the involvement of […]
Dov S. Zakheim The Hill, Mar. 21, 2025 “President Trump explicitly identified Iran as a potential American target should Tehran continue to support the Houthis.” Shortly after America had achieved its independence from Great Britain, the new nation confronted a threat from the Ottoman provinces of Algiers, Tunis and Tripoli.

Joe Lockard Fathom Journal, Mar. 2025 “Part of the ‘scholasticide’ argument has become that it is now not just Gaza, but extends to US higher education, as the Trump administration seeks to decimate and control the intellectual and political life of universities. Thus, Gaza and the fate of US higher education are linked. This has […]

Editorial Board WSJ, Mar. 23, 2025 “Conservatives should also be wary of government dictation of curricula because the left will do the same thing if it returns to power.” Columbia University’s decision Friday to bend to the Trump Administration’s governance demands has shocked the academy far and wide, and it is an unprecedented sanction. But […]
Dion J. Pierre Algemeiner, Mar. 25, 2025 “During a mutinous meeting with angry faculty, Armstrong reportedly said, among other things, that the anti-mask ban — a policy that is widely supported by the Jewish community for achieving the same end as federal anti-Ku-Klux-Klan laws — will not be enacted.” Columbia University interim president Katrina Armstrong […]
Noah Rothman National Review, Mar. 25, 2025 “Whether because of institutional capture or its lethargic leadership, it had become unavoidably clear that Columbia could not restore a climate of free inquiry to its campus on its own. So, the Trump administration gave it a push.” By April of last year, it was clear that Columbia University […]
Jonathan S. Tobin JNS, Mar. 25, 2025 “If chants for violence against African Americans or Hispanics were routinely voiced—or takeovers of school buildings on behalf of the efforts of hate groups or terrorists targeting those groups, such as the Ku Klux Klan or neo-Nazis—had taken place, everyone knows what would have followed.” Progressive academics have been among […]

Ailin Vilches Arguello Algemeiner, Mar. 7, 2025 “Faced with this hostility and in order to protect themselves, students try to remain in the background: hiding their Jewish identity or their connection to Israel, and being careful not to respond to the challenges and accusations from their peers, which are often directed at them through the […]
