Jack Englehard Israel National News, May 13, 2022 Check out these names…Terry Lloyd…Paul Moran…Gary Rado…Michael Kelly…and so forth. These are among the dozen combat reporters who were killed recently while covering this and that conflict or another, somewhere around the world.

Melanie Phillips JNS, May 12, 2022 A Palestinian Arab journalist with Al Jazeera, Shireen Abu Akleh, was shot dead this week in a firefight between Hamas and the Israelis in the West Bank city of Jenin.

Jeremy Appel Tablet, May 12, 2022 “The deputy prime minister and finance minister’s revisionist family history is part of a broader project of myth-making in parts of the Ukrainian diaspora, in which certain anti-Soviet Nazi collaborators are often rebranded as nationalist war heroes.” On Jan. 26, 2022, in the midst of Russia’s preparations to invade […]
David Publiese Ottawa Citizen, May 17, 2018 “Shukhevych was commander of the Ukrainian battalion called Nachtigall. The men of Nachtigall rounded up Jews in Lviv in June 1941, massacring men, women and children. The Simon Wiesenthal Center estimates that the Nachtigall Battalion, along with their German military counterparts, managed to murder around 4,000 Jews in […]
David Pugliese Ottawa Citizen, Apr. 13, 2022 “It’s not Russian propaganda, far from it. These people are neo-Nazis. There is an element of the ultra-right in Ukraine and it’s absurd to ignore it.” A top Nazi hunter and Holocaust scholar says Canada failed when it allowed Ukrainian military personnel connected to far-right groups to receive […]
Aidan Jonah The Canada Files, July 20, 2020 “One way of getting into postwar Canada “was by showing the SS tattoo,” Canadian historian Irving Abella told 60 Minutes interviewer Mike Wallace in 1997. “This proved that you were an anti-Communist.” News broke on July 17 that a war memorial honouring Ukrainian Nazis who served with […]

Ian Garner Haaretz, May 11, 2022 In today’s Russia, the memorialization of World War II has become a destructive religion, and anybody who attacks the faith is decried as a “fascist.” And while the Victory Day celebrations this week may not have seen the declaration of war or general mobilization that some western observers were […]
Robert S. Becker The Holland Sentinel, Apr. 9, 2022 Why this unilateral, overwrought plunder against Ukraine now? Why devastate a nation full of what the invader brags are “brotherly” kin? Why instantly threaten weapons of mass destruction, whether nuclear, chemical or biological? Why exalt the primitivism of might makes right, inciting global outrage (and all the […]
Binyamin Rose Mishpacha, Mar. 15, 2022 Dr. Anna Geifman shocked guests at a Shabbos table last week in Jerusalem with her bold statement that Vladimir Putin sees himself as a messianic figure, and that’s a major driving force behind both his decision to invade Ukraine and his penchant for adventurism in foreign policy. Had I […]
Jack Jenkin Rolling Stone, Mar. 13, 2022 This article was published in partnership with Religion News Service. Two days before he launched a bloody invasion of Ukraine, Russian President Vladimir Putin sat alone in front of a camera and delivered a rambling, hour-long address. It outlined the ideological justification for what would ultimately become his “special military action” in […]

Dara Horn Common Sense with Bari Weiss, May 8, 2022 “Facts are for losers. That the Harvard Crimson’s editors fell for this regime-approved propaganda says something rather damning about the collapse of critical thinking in America.” Twenty-five years later, I still remember the theatrics involved with becoming an editor at the Harvard Crimson, the newspaper […]
Natalie I. Kahn The Harvard Crimson, May 4, 2022 “How many members of the Editorial Board can tell me the story of Israel’s history — numerous peace treaties the Palestinians have rejected, human shields used by Hamas to gaslight Israel, and thousands of Israeli civilians murdered by terrorists?” On April 29, I woke up to a flurry of messages from […]
