Yisrael Medad JNS, Aug. 7, 2024 “Yair Golan, now the head of a new political party called the Democrats, suggested that “we should go to the Netanyahu residence, drag them outside, roll them in tar and feathers, and kick them out of town.” His interviewer felt the need to intervene and hurriedly commented, “You mean that metaphorically, […]

Gerard Baker WSJ, Aug. 26, 2024 “Its centerpiece was the semifictional self portrait of the presidential candidate herself.” You campaign in poetry. You govern in prose. Mario Cuomo’s adage has been updated and adapted by his successors in the modern Democratic Party. The duality they present to voters either side of an election is a […]
Tom Slater Spiked, Aug. 23, 2024 “Virtue-signalling, triangulation, bloodless managerialism – this has ruled over Democratic politics for a long time now. But identitarianism has made matters so much worse.” Say what you will about Kamala Harris, she can read from an autocue with the best of them. The vice-president turned nominee for president […]
David Samuels Unherd, Aug. 26, 2024 “All told, the Chicago Miracle, as it will doubtlessly be known, was a reality-fracturing magic act.” Making an elephant disappear is a notoriously difficult test of the magician’s art. Turning a flower girl into a duchess might be even harder to pull off. Convincing the world’s most powerful man […]
Matthew Continetti Commentary, September 2024 “ … there is no more binary issue in the world today than a democratic nation retaliating against a genocidal terrorist organization that rapes and murders innocents, hides behind hospitals and schools, and burrows underground. “ On July 30, Kamala Harris released the first TV ad of her presidential […]

Elliot Kaufman WSJ, Aug. 22, 2024 “ … the anti-Israel fanatics demand that Jews relinquish not so much the tenets of their religion as their dignity and the solidarity that sustains Jewish peoplehood.” A legal victory for Jewish students comes by way of an oversimplification of Judaism. Yet in the process, it stumbles on some […]
Barton Swain WSJ, Aug. 23, 2024 “Apart from the slogans, speakers didn’t call straightforwardly for the destruction of Israel and the wiping out of Israeli Jews, but only a fool could miss the intensely antisemitic purpose of the event.” Predictions were amiss that the 2024 Democratic National Convention would repeat the mayhem of its 1968 […]
Dexter Van Zile Focus on Western Islamism, Aug. 23, 2024 “Walz has a lot to answer for, but no one is going to ask him about it. The idea seems to be that you can’t say anything critical of Muslims without being accused of being an anti-Muslim radical, so people just ignore it. [Muslims] […]
Brendan O’Neill Spiked, Aug. 23, 2024 “The commentariat’s reluctance to hold Hamas responsible for anything, even its own wicked deeds, is getting scary now.” A bizarre debate has blown up. All over social media, people want to know: who’s responsible for the deaths of the six Israeli hostages whose bodies were discovered by the IDF in […]

Eli Lake Tablet, Aug. 21, 2024 “Perhaps the president can dispatch one of his aides to ask the river-to-the-sea crowd whether it would protest the embassy of Qatar, a country that has been one of the most important patrons of Hamas in recent years, instead of Israel’s consulate in Chicago.” President Joe Biden, in his Chicago swan […]
Adam Milstein Jerusalem Post, Aug. 23, 2024 “Obfuscating and appropriating Jewish history is a tactic that comes directly from the playbook of terrorist organizations like Hamas and Hezbollah.” Since October 7th, protests around the globe in support of the “Palestinian cause” have exploded in popularity and tenacity. Anti-Israel and anti-Jewish activists repeatedly, almost religiously claim […]
Seth Mandel Commentary, Aug. 22, 2024 “In the left-wing world of representative factionalism, “authentic” usually means “maximalist” if not, at the very least, “strident.” The only meek representative in progressive activism will be the Jewish one.” After the parents of Israeli-American hostage Hersh Goldberg-Polin were given a gracious reception at the Democratic National Convention last night, demands […]
