Judith Miller Tablet, Feb. 26, 2025 “For the first time, the whole world was watching Palestinian brutality unfold on camera and in real time.” Dec. 7, as most members of the so-called “greatest generation” know, is the day that Franklin Roosevelt declared would “live in infamy” when Japan bombed Pearl Harbor, belatedly drawing America into […]

Calev Ben-Dor Mosaic, Feb. 26, 2025 “Palestinian suicide bombings produced a philosophical crisis among those who wanted to believe that a rationality governs the world. Those protests against Israel thus helped to “explain” the unexplainable: it was the Israeli oppressors’ fault.” As Israeli ministers sit around the table for a crucial cabinet meeting, some suggest […]

Brendan O’Neill Spiked, Mar. 16, 2025 “Most unforgivably, the report castigates the young men of the IDF for wanting to punish Hamas for the crimes it committed against Israeli women on 7 October 2023.” The United Nations is hardly known for fair or cool commentary on Israel. But its latest report really takes the biscuit. […]
Mike Wagenheim JNS, Mar, 14, 2025 “The framework includes one poster of a dollar bill folded up into a Jewish Star, and another with an image of George Habash, founder of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, a U.S.-designated foreign terrorist organization, above a silhouette of a terrorist armed with an assault rifle. […]
Michael Starr Jerusalem Post, Mar. 9, 2025 “The Toronto Police Service will continue to be a strong partner in the fight against antisemitism and all hate crimes.” The Canadian government convened a national forum on combating antisemitism in Ottawa on Thursday, according to Public Safety Canada, amid rising anti-Jewish incidents in the country. Public Safety Minister David McGuinty and […]
David Rose Unherd, Mar. 16, 2025 “As so often, the BBC stuck to its guns, claiming its usage was “true to the speaker’s intentions.” Earlier this week, Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch wrote to BBC Director-General Tim Davie demanding “wholesale reform” of the corporation’s Arabic service, saying it provided a “platform for terrorists” and promulgated “appalling antisemitism” and […]

Emmanuel Bloch and Dr. Rabbi Zvi Ron The Torah.com. Mar. 16, 2022 “Apparently, Streicher could not help but notice the parallels of the hanging of ten Nazis and the hanging of Haman’s ten sons.” Streicher and the Nuremberg “Purimfest” Twenty-four defendants were tried at the Nuremberg trials of Nazi war criminals (Nov 20, 1945–Oct 1, […]

Mijal Bitton Times of Israel, Mar. 6, 2025 “Amalek, by contrast, represents the kind of Jew-hatred that cannot be explained.” The worst mistake Israel made before October 7th wasn’t a failure of intelligence; it was a failure of imagination. This has been one of the most painful realizations as findings from probes into the attack were released […]
Jonathan S. Tobin JNS, Mar. 12, 2025 “Whatever the details of what actually happened, the idea that the Jews had turned the tables on those who sought their death and killed a lot of them is horrifying to modern-day leftists.” This is not the first time in history in which some Jews have internalized the […]
Jenna Weissman Joselit Jewish Review of Books, Mar. 13, 2025 “The former conversos in the Portuguese Jewish community of Amsterdam embraced the Esther story as their own.” Purim—the whole shebang, from the ancient story on which the holiday is based to the contemporary ways in which it’s celebrated—always struck me as raucous and overegged. After seeing the […]

By Allan M. Levine, Ph.D. Purim 2025 Once upon a Purim Eve—not too long ago but certainly before gluten-free pastries took over—the streets of a bustling Jewish neighborhood were alive with merriment, mischief, and the scent of freshly baked, 3-cornered hamentashen (hamentash – singular). Two Jews, rushing home with oversized, triangular hamentashen the size of […]
