‘ Menachem Begin and Neil Rogachevsky Mosaic, May 14, 2020 “And the day came that we redeemed Jerusalem, and we have dug into its dirt, and we have walked the path and so we have seen the Gates of Ḥuldah [that lead into the Temple].” Before World War II, Brisk (a/k/a Brest or Brest-Litovsk), […]
Richard L. Cravatts Fathom Journal, April 2020 “Al-Buraq Wall, of course, is the Arabic name for the Western Wall and Al-Buraq plaza refers to the entire 35-acre Temple Mount. Statements like these reveal that Muslim authorities do not consider any part of the Temple Mount to be Jewish, nor should Jews even be allowed near or on […]
Meir Y. Soloveichik Commentary Magazine, June 2020 All this reveals that the questions of Jewish presence on, and the right to pray at, the Temple Mount are bound up with the very issue of Israel’s right to exist itself. On May 6, 2022, Israel’s Independence Day, the Temple Mount was opened to Jews for the […]
Matti Friedman Jewish Review of Books, Spring 2022 “It’s impossible to understand the city without grasping that Jerusalem has existed at the center of Jewish consciousness since Rome was a village on the Tiber and that it has that role in no other religion.” In 1867, the Scottish adventurer John MacGregor descended a rope ladder […]

Christina Buttons Quillette, May 17, 2022 “The narrative we sold to the masses in late 2020 was that “white supremacy” was the greatest threat that America was facing, and that Republicans were the “party of white supremacy.” At the time, I believed this wholeheartedly. When a beloved cousin died from COVID, I became even more […]
Barton Swaim WSJ, May 13, 2022 “They regard differing outlooks as deviations from reality that can only cause trouble for no good reason. They believe their critics, who look at the same facts but draw different conclusions, aren’t simply mistaken but irrational, corrupt or both.” The preoccupation with “misinformation” and “disinformation” on the part of […]
Victor Davis Hanson Toronto Sun, May 12, 2022 “… all these catastrophes are self-induced. They are choices, not fate.” Americans are now entering uncharted, revolutionary territory. They may witness things over the next five months that once would have seemed unimaginable. Until the Ukrainian conflict, we had never witnessed a major land war inside Europe […]
John O. McGinnis City Journal, Spring 2022 “… those who train the next generation of lawyers, the law professors, are overwhelmingly left-wing, favoring all sorts of foolish innovations—from abolition of prisons to putting the Federal Reserve in charge of setting prices for core goods.” The transformation of the legal profession marks a fundamental change in […]

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, […]
