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 […]
Marco Rubio Newsweek, May 31, 2024 “… a vote for anyone other than Trump is literally a vote to normalize the weaponization of government against political opponents and criminalize the traditional American way of life.” I grew up in Miami listening to the stories about the Castro show trials in Cuba. Not even in […]
Jonathan Turley Jonathanturley.org, May 30, 2024 “… the framing of this case and failure to protect the rights of the defendant have undermined the perceived legitimacy of the proceedings and any possible verdict.” Today the jury began its deliberations in the trial of former president Donald Trump. Before jurors left, however, Judge Juan Merchan framed their deliberations […]

Dov Lieber WSJ, May 29, 2024 “American diplomatic support and weapons supply depend on Israel’s ability to manage a balance between accomplishing its military objectives in Rafah and appeasing the Biden administration.” Israel said it has secured control of Gaza’s southern border with Egypt, achieving a key goal of the Rafah offensive as it seeks to […]
Melanie Phillips Substack, May 28, 2024 “The IDF says it now suspects that ammunition, weapons, or some other inflammatory material was stored in the area of the strike, causing a secondary blast and the fire that spread to the civilian tents.” Once again, Israel has been accused of heinous and inhuman behaviour — a charge […]
Brendan O’Neill Spiked, May 28, 2024 “If you hate what has happened to Rafah, if you hate that it’s been sucked into the vortex of war, then you should hate Hamas.” The anti-Israel set is right about something for once: it is unconscionable that Rafah has been turned into a warzone. It is an affront […]
Bret Stephens NY Times, May 28, 2024 “Terms like “precision weapons” can foster the notion that it’s possible for modern militaries to hit only intended targets. But that’s a fantasy, especially against enemies like Hamas, whose method is to fight and hide among the innocent so that it may be rescued from destruction by the […]
