Loveday Morris and Souad Mekhennet Washington Post, Apr. 12, 2025 “There is a huge stockpile in Syria that Hezbollah is trying to move out of Syria. They know where those are, and they are working with Syrian networks to get them out.” From the front seat of a black GMC truck, Maher Ziwani, the Syrian […]

Brendan O’Neill Spiked, Apr. 14, 2025 ‘If you throw a lot of shit out there, there’s some point at which “I’m just raising questions” is not a valid thing.” You could almost feel Douglas Murray’s vexation. There he was, invited on by the weed-puffing, free-thinking king of the podcast bros, Joe Rogan, to debate prick-kicking comic […]
Ralph Leonard Unherd, Apr. 11, 2025 “The natural response is to suggest, as Murray did yesterday, that Rogan should feature more “establishment” voices to provide “balance”. But if he did this, ironically, it would likely taint his credibility among a large part of his audience, given that his appeal stems from his anti-establishment stance and […]
Lee Smith Tablet, Apr. 11, 2025 “Even the role Smith and Rogan play is an establishment category—a comic who is not just a jester, but a gimlet-eyed and idiosyncratic observer of current events celebrated for relating sardonically to his young and disaffected audience. It’s Jon Stewart, but for right-wing audiences.” Joe Rogan’s podcast yesterday featuring […]
Park MacDougald Tablet, Mar. 10, 2025 “The attacks and their aftermath exposed that Jews cannot silence their opponents but in many cases are reduced to asking for pity, which only invites more sadism.” It gives us no pleasure to report this, but we figured you should hear it from us. Jeffrey Epstein—the late New York financier—was […]

Dylan Shore Times of Israel, Apr. 15, 2025 “Why are we so ignorant to think that this does not include us?” For thousands of years, the Jewish people gathered around their Seder tables and recounted the story of Exodus. The story of the liberation of the Israelites from slavery to their promised land of Israel. […]
Agam Berger WSJ, Apr. 10, 2025 “I chose the path of faith and with the path of faith I have returned.” I was kidnapped by Hamas, taken to Gaza and held hostage for 482 days. Today I am home, healthy and whole in body, soul and spirit. This Passover, I am reflecting on my freedom. […]
Gerald M. Steinberg Jerusalem Post, Apr. 11, 2025 “How did this ludicrous inversion of oppressor and oppressed, and of victimizer and victim take place? Who is responsible for erasing, distorting and appropriating the moral principles that distinguish between right and wrong?” When Jews worldwide sit around the Seder table and retell the 4,000 year old story of […]
Ira Stoll The NY Sun, Apr. 15, 2025 “Dr. Garber is so discredited that at this point that earlier this month, New York Congressman Ritchie Torres — a Democrat — showed up on a Saturday morning at Dr. Garber’s own synagogue at the liberal Democratic stronghold of Brookline, Massachusetts, to denounce Harvard’s failed leadership and […]

Liz Essley Whyte, Douglas Belkin and Sara Randazzo WSJ, Apr. 14, 2025 “Antisemitic protesters inflicting violence and taking over entire college campus buildings is not only a crude display of bigotry against Jewish Americans, but entirely disruptive to the intellectual inquiry and research that federal funding of colleges is meant to support.” Columbia University’s president […]
Vimal Patel NY Times, Apr. 14, 2025 “Harvard, for its part, has been under intense pressure from its own students and faculty to be more forceful in resisting the Trump administration’s encroachment on the university and on higher education more broadly.” The Trump administration acted quickly on Monday to punish Harvard University after it refused […]
Alan Dershowitz Gatestone, Apr. 1, 2025 “… there are appropriate limits to academic freedom by universities seeking federal funding.” Many left-wing university faculty members (a redundancy if there ever was one) are rebelling against the Trump administration’s threat to cut federal funding to universities that tolerate antisemitic actions against their Jewish students. They condemned the […]
