Joel Petlin Newsweek, Aug. 12, 2022 “There are wrong ways and right ways to talk about George Soros and other Jews in the news.” We should all be extremely sensitive to the dehumanizing language used by antisemites, and the discrimination and even violence that often comes from it. Antisemitism must always be denounced evenhandedly, whether […]
James Kirchick Tablet, Aug. 10, 2022 “The question before us today is whether, in the course of criticizing activities that the country’s biggest progressive donor has undertaken “transparently” (his word), it is possible to even utter his name without being accused of bigotry.” Two weeks ago, George Soros took to the op-ed pages of the […]
George Soros WSJ, July 31, 2022 “The most rigorous academic study, analyzing data across 35 jurisdictions, shows no connection between the election of reform-minded prosecutors and local crime rates.” Americans desperately need a more thoughtful discussion about our response to crime. People have had enough of the demagoguery and divisive partisan attacks that dominate the […]
Karl Rove WSJ, July 20, 2022 “Mr. Boudin was ousted with 60% of the vote by San Franciscans fed up with feces and needles on their streets, a rising tide of hate crimes against Asian-Americans, and frequent brazen snatch-and-grab thefts everywhere from pharmacies to luxury stores.” Give George Soros his due. He knows how to get political […]

Ali al-Awar and Yohanan Tzoreff INSS Insight No. 1631, Aug. 15, 2022 “Fatah is in urgent need of renewal, a change of image, and of revived legitimacy.” The decision by Abu Mazen to cancel the elections for the Palestinian Legislative Council and the presidency, scheduled for May 2021, may one day prove to be a […]
Jonathan S. Tobin JNS, Aug. 12, 2022 “Yet when the situation was discussed at the U.N. Security Council, the first two states that made peace with Israel—Egypt and Jordan—echoed some of the vitriolic rhetoric spewed at the Jewish state by the Palestinian Authority representative.” Which of these two things is more important when it comes to […]
Avi Issacharoff Ynet News, Aug. 11, 2022 “Gaza rulers “smell blood” in the West Bank, where the weakened PA is embroiled in corruption and internal battles over who will be Abbas’ successor.” On Tuesday morning, shortly after three Palestinians were killed in a counterterrorism operation in the West Bank city of Nablus, a Hamas spokesman […]
Khaled Abu Toameh Jerusalem Post, Aug. 13, 2022 “The Palestinian security forces stay in their headquarters when the Israeli Army enters the Palestinian areas. They don’t do anything to defend the people. In the eyes of many Palestinians, the Palestinian Authority’s role has been limited to issuing traffic tickets, carrying out some arrests and collecting […]

Bari Weiss Common Sense with Bari Weiss, Aug. 13, 2022 “If the attacks against Satanic Verses had taken place today,” he said in L’Express, “these people would not have defended me, and would have used the same arguments against me, accusing me of insulting an ethnic and cultural minority.” We live in a culture in which many of […]
Karim Sadjadpour NY Times, Aug. 12, 2022 “Like Castro, Mr. Khamenei too understands that the greater danger to his theocracy is not global isolation but global integration.” Ibn Khaldun, the 14th-century North African scholar, wrote that empires tended not to last beyond three generations. The founders of the first-generation are rough men united by hardship, […]
Graeme Wood MSN, Aug. 14, 2022 “V. S. Naipaul called Khomeini’s fatwa “a most extreme form of literary criticism”—a macabre joke that seemed at the time to come at Rushdie’s expense.” Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini died in June 1989, just months after issuing a fatwa ordering the murder of Salman Rushdie and all others involved in […]
Catherine Perez-Shakdam Jerusalem Post, Aug. 13, 2022 “Amid a storm of adulation, the supreme leader sentenced World Jewry to death, proclaiming from his pulpit that the cancer that is Israel and its people: the Jews, would be excised to the point of extinction so that the righteous ones could claim victory over the appointed enemy.” […]
