Gerard Leval Jerusalem Post, June 5, 2024 “Without the ultimate sacrifice of thousands of Americans and the liberation that those soldiers made possible, my grandparents, my mother and my uncle would likely have been deported to Auschwitz and certain death.” Thursday marks the 80th anniversary of D-Day, the Allied landings along the Normandy coast during World […]

John Leicester and Sylvie Corbet and Danica Kirka KCen, June 4, 2024 “You don’t want other people to go through the same thing. Because I’ve seen a lot of these boys that never even made the beach, believe me. And we were all 18, 19 years old.” Under their feet, the sands of Omaha Beach, […]

Evan Stubbs Yale Journal of International Affairs, May 23, 2024 “While previously opposed to bilateralism, dramatic upheavals in the geopolitical world order in the early 1970s left both Israel and Taiwan more vulnerable and isolated than ever, creating favorable conditions for pariah state cooperation.” On December 29, 2021, Taiwan’s vice president (now the […]
Mark Leonard Foreign Affairs, Jan. 8, 2024 “By aligning with majority opinion in such countries as Indonesia, Saudi Arabia, and South Africa, China can present itself as an alternative to what it sees as a warmongering, hegemonic, and hypocritical America.” Over the past year, as Western diplomats shuttled frantically from one end of […]
Guermantes Laitari Jewish Policy Center, Spring 2024 “China has not condemned the Hamas (and other terrorist organizations’) terror attack on Israel. In fact, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi described Israel’s response to the terrorist attacks on October 14 as being “beyond the scope of self-defense” and requested Israel to “cease its collective punishment of the […]
Simone Lipkind Council on Foreign Relations, Jan. 25, 2024 “Given China’s response to the war in Gaza, Bibi’s public efforts to revive Israel’s relationship with China during periods of strife with the United States now appear short sighted.” Leading up to Hamas’s October 7 attack, Israel was attempting to manage great power competition much […]

Charlie Covit WSJ, May 16, 2024 “Support for Mr. Tettey-Tamaklo belies the protesters’ denials of antisemitism.” Harvard’s anti-Israel protesters created a martyr this past school year. “Reinstate Elom to his proctor position,” read a list of demands first published in November and posted across campus for the rest of the year. “Over 4,000 people have […]

Douglas Belkin WSJ, May 16, 2024 “The report paints a picture of an overwhelmed and indecisive administration, which failed to apply university rules to protesters engaged in antisemitic behavior.” Harvard University was slow to react to a wave of hostility against Jewish students last fall and ignored recommendations from an advisory group it created to address rising […]
Jessica McCann, The Harvard Gazette, May 28, 2024 “… we now live in a world of extreme political polarization. And that means both that people tend to react to University statements (again, intact or distorted) in a polarized way, and also put pressure on the University to speak or not speak in polarized ways.” In […]
Gil Hoffman Jerusalem Post, June 2, 2024 “Steven Thrasher, whose title at Medill is “chair of social justice in reporting,” shockingly told students at the encampment that “our work is not about objectivity.” When I graduated from Northwestern University’s Medill School of Journalism a quarter century ago, the dean and professors made me feel proud to be […]

Michael Lind Unherd, May 31, 2024 “The partisanship of the Democratic officials in the hush-money case has been just as blatant.” Whatever you think of Donald Trump — and I for one think very little of him — his conviction as a felon for what would ordinarily be a minor misdemeanour by a biased jury is […]
Holman W. Jenkins Jr. WSJ, May 31, 2024 “In my book, the verdict already is final: One of the worst decisions by any president in history is Joe Biden’s decision to seek a second term.” Thursday’s conviction was more than a gift to the Biden campaign. It was a self-gift. Joe Biden told Michigan voters […]
