Avi Benlolo and Jerry Grafstein National Post, July 5, 2024 “Given that Jews face a disproportionate amount of hate, the way this judgment dismissed claims of antisemitism is highly concerning.” Despite being among its biggest supporters, the Jewish community often finds itself on the losing side when it comes to the University of Toronto.

John Podhoretz Commentary, June 29, 2024 “The decline in support for Biden among Jews is real, and if that decline is dramatic, it could make the difference in the key(stone) state.” Here’s a potential political earthquake story that has nothing to do with the debate. Siena College, which specializes in polling in New York […]
Walter Russel Mead WSJ, July 1, 2024 “The weak debate showing undermines confidence in both the durability of the Biden administration and the competence of its leadership.
