Ruth R. Wisse Being silenced or harassed for unpopular speech on a university campus is by now such a mark of distinction that I may be accused of exercising bragging rights in describing a recent incident in which I was involved. The real danger I encountered, however, was different from the one against which I […]

David Bensoussan In the wake of the recent, ritual anti-Israel resolutions at the United Nations, Canada’s supporting vote there has called into question the continuity of its policy. This has consisted in generally not participating in the unilateral anti-Israel resolutions of this […]
Frederick Krantz Dec. 31, 2019 Amid rising concerns about the spread of antisemitic incidents in the United States, the tenth episode of a wave of attacks hit New York City, where anti-Jewish hate-crime incidents (214 as of Sunday) are up 18% in 2019. Grafton E. Thomas, 37, […]
Frederick Krantz Israzine.org, Dec. 31, 2019 Boris Johnson’s smashing defeat of Labour in the recent British Parliamentary election has not only resolved the three-year impasse over Brexit and installed the Conservatives at the helm for at least another five years. It also augurs […]
Frederick Krantz Israzine.org, Dec. 31, 2019 Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel’s long-time Prime Minister, has decisively won a Likud party primary against his only internal party competitor, Gideon Sa’ar, by a land-slide 73% victory (80% in Jerusalem) of the 116,000 votes polled.

CIJR Editorial Board The American Left was launched into a joyous frenzy when the editor-in-chief of the Evangelical periodical Christianity Today denigrated now-impeached President Donald Trump as unfit for office and called for his removal from. Mark Galli also implied that, by giving the US leader a pass on his inflammatory rhetoric and moral-ethical […]

Frederick Krantz It seems rather paradoxical that President Donald J. Trump, the most pro-Israel President in U.S. history, by adopting the broad International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) definition of antisemitism and strengthening Title VI mechanisms against the vicious anti-Israel and anti-Zionist hatred spreading on campuses, has himself now been denounced as an antisemite by […]

Frederick Krantz Two dates this month, December 7, the 78th anniversary of Japan’s surprise 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor, and December 16, 1944, the beginning of the Battle of the Bulge, have come and gone, little noticed and, sadly, generally unremarked.
