Kevin J. Lipson Daily Caller, Mar. 18, 2024 “Wrong-headed progressives spouting off about Israeli “settler colonialism” and “white supremacy” should spend some time with these fearless young men and women. They come from all over, and they are of every hue.” In George Patton’s famous address to the U.S. Third Army, he told his […]

Isabel Kershner NY Times, Oct. 13, 2023 “I don’t know anyone who doesn’t know someone who was there and who was hurt or killed or kidnapped.” The message popped up at 10:55 a.m. on Thursday: “Looking for volunteers to help unload a truck of equipment for soldiers. We are at the Museum of Tolerance. […]
Alan Vosko The Detroit Jewish News, Dec. 29, 2023 “Remarkably, I saw a news program a few days later that showed some of the medical supplies we prepared being given to Shifa Hospital in Gaza as part of Israel’s humanitarian aid.” The sheer horror of Oct. 7, its scope, unimaginable barbarity and emotional devastation wrought grief […]

Prof. Julien Bauer. Il est rare d’assister à un événement et de prendre conscience immédiatement qu’il fera date. C’est ce qui est arrivé mardi le 26 mars à la synagogue Beit Israel Beit Aaron de Côte-Saint-Luc, où le Parti Conservateur avait organisé une présentation de son leader, Pierre Poilièvre, candidat au poste de Premier Ministre […]

Cary Nelson Fathom Journal, March 2024 “… for Butler, there is but one overriding context for Hamas’s violence: Israel’s long presumed history of unrelenting violence against Palestinians. And citing it is no neutral historical exercise; it is a moral imperative.” When Judith Butler expressed something approximating grudging horror–if one may characterise her ambivalence that way–at […]
Walter Russell Mead Tablet, Mar. 26, 2024 “A hatred of wonk privilege pervades both the right and the left in American politics today.” Impostor syndrome isn’t always a voice of unwarranted self-doubt that you should stifle. Sometimes, it is the voice of God telling you to stand down. If, for example, you are an academic […]
Dion J. Pierre Algemeiner, Mar. 27, 2024 “Anti-Zionist faculty are out of control at the University of California. They are using their academic positions, departmental infrastructure, and university resources to spread hatred of the Jewish state and its on-campus supporters, and in so doing, are fomenting the harassment and even assault of Jewish students — […]
Donna Robinson Divine Sapir Journal, Mar. 18, 2024 “Academic scholars of the Middle East could indeed have helped people understand the historical background, the appeal, and the possible implications of such savagery, but the experts who were up to the task of taking on a valid and credible analysis were nowhere to be found, at […]

Bernard-Henri Lévy WSJ, Mar. 26, 2024 “… why the world has one choice. Instead of putting all their energy into trying to get Israel to bend, leaders should push Hamas to surrender.” Let’s imagine that Israel yields to the pressure. Pushed by an American president already under fire from a segment of the electorate […]

Shirit Avitan Cohen Israel Hayom, Mar. 26, 2024 “The Biden administration had felt compelled to show a tougher hand on Israel for electoral purposes, but Israel sees this move as a way to appease progressive voters on the backs of the captives and Israelis living in border communities.” There has been no shortage of […]
Jonathan S. Tobin JNS, Mar. 26, 2024 “A rational U.S. policy would have been one in which the U.N. Security Council would not be allowed to become a forum in which Hamas terrorism was effectively endorsed and Israeli self-defense treated as a war crime.” Don’t believe the Biden administration’s claim that it hasn’t changed its stance on […]
Sean Durns Washington Examiner, Mar. 25, 2024 “Militarily, Israel has been winning its war against Hamas. Defying its critics who predicted that Jerusalem would get bogged down in a protracted war, the Israel Defense Forces have made rapid advances and incurred far fewer losses than some, including policymakers in Washington, expected.” The Biden administration declined to […]
