Ben Cohen JNS, May 20, 2022 “While the resolution doesn’t explicitly demonize Zionism as a form of racism, as the United Nations expressly did in 1975, that is the conclusion its authors would like you to reach.” It is the sort of resolution one would expect to be tabled before the U.N. General Assembly or […]
Avi Benlolo National Post, Apr. 22, 2022 “If you believe this is an internal tribal squabble between two rival ethnic groups, you are missing the radicalization taking place in our country.” Iran’s fingerprints are on much that counters our prevailing values in this country. This week, a groundswell of voices from Canada and around the […]
Melanie Phillips Israel National News, May 22, 2022 “The failure to learn the lesson of the “broken windows” theory is particularly apparent over the tsunami of anti-Semitism engulfing Israel and the Jewish Diaspora.” The “broken windows” theory of policing, which was responsible for a stunning drop in crime in New York in the 1990s, was […]
Ruth R. Wisse WSJ, May 13, 2022 “As for the Crimson editorial, Arab claims of victimhood at the hands of the Jews is the most daring political inversion since Wilhelm Marr preached anti-Semitism to prevent Jews from “conquering Germany from within.” A recent report, “Harvard and the Legacy of Slavery,” notes that the university’s faculty, […]

Marsha Lederman Globe and Mail, May 13, 2022 “Margot died there, too. And I have always felt for Margot: her mark on history chiselled by a little sister’s critical pen. Through Anne, she has been presented to millions of readers as a quiet, somewhat intense, obedient, brainy, flawed young woman.” When I was growing up, […]
Raymond J. de Souza National Post, May 15, 2022 “… the empire of lies does not only advance by jackboots and blitzkrieg. Sometimes it slithers in softly and slowly, making it easier for those — priests and journalists both — who wish to compromise with it.” News about priest journalists is not common. Our tribe […]
Ben Yagoda WSJ, Apr. 8, 2022 “None of the other publishers were as blatantly pro-Nazi, but Ms. Olmsted shows—through her industrious forays into and judicious use of the archives, correspondence and secondary literature—that all of them were racist and anti-Semitic.” As the dictator sent his occupying forces across a neighboring country’s borders, the international press […]
Matti Leshem Tablet, Apr. 28, 2022 “… that moment when he realizes he lost and that he must leave or risk being captured himself is the pivotal moment in his life, and I’ve been struggling to understand it for 25 years. How, at the age of 22, did he walk out, knowing that his mother […]

Hany Ghoraba IPT News, Apr. 26, 2022 “It is important to understand that Ramadan, for Islamists, is not just time for worship, but for jihad, too. Their teaching manual [Islamic jurisprudence] assert and link all decisive military battles in the history of Islam with Ramadan.” When terrorists randomly attacked Israeli civilians in recent weeks, some […]
Tabby Rephael Jewish Journal, Feb. 2, 2021 “Between the Arabic and English messages, it was like an anti-Semitic Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.” When I was a little girl in Tehran, my family and I took advantage of the temporary lulls in air strikes during the Iran-Iraq War (1980–1988) to have dinner at various local […]
Nerea Belmonte Atalayar, Apr. 16, 2022 “Al Qaeda jihadist leaders, such as Osama bin Laden, earned him a reputation as a channel for disseminating information about Islamist groups in the Western world after 11 September 2001.” Surrounded by historical adversaries Iran and Saudi Arabia, in the middle of the Persian Gulf, the small state of Qatar […]
Binyamin Rose Mishpacha, May 17, 2022 “While I don’t want to see anyone’s life end like hers did, she was part of the media jihad machine against Israel. She was a real Jew-hater and Israel-hater. It came across in every word that she said about us.” Every profession has its hazards. Journalism included. As a […]
