Ariel David Haaretz, Oct. 9, 2023 “… the genetic data from Kiryat Yearim offers a first glimpse of how directly sampling remains from the First Temple period can shed light on the history of the ancient Hebrews, Israelite or Judahite.” For the first time, ancient DNA has been recovered from the bodies of ancient […]

Andrew Curry Science, Nov. 30, 2022 “Together with a smaller scale study published in September that looked at DNA from six individuals from the Middle Ages unearthed in Norwich, England, the Erfurt analysis offers clues to where the Ashkenazim came from centuries earlier, and what happened along the way.” On a Sabbath Saturday in March 1349, […]

Prof. Steven Weitzman The Torah.com, Oct. 1, 2017 “More recent research has shown that the ancestry of the kohanim themselves is more complex than the earliest studies suggested, reflecting many different lineages that emerged at different points in history—and there is still debate about how to interpret the genetic evidence.” In premodern times, the question of where […]

Melanie Phillips Substack, Feb. 16, 2024 “The government’s concern is genuine. But while it wrings its hands, it is staring in horror at a crisis of anti-Jewish hatred that’s now out of control.” The war in Gaza is prying open a potentially game-changing fissure in British politics that has wider implications for the western world. […]
Romy Leibler/The Media Line Jerusalem Post, Feb. 22, 2024 “The most recent outrage occurred when 600 members of a Jewish WhatsApp support group were doxxed; meaning their personal details—social media profiles, addresses, pictures, and employment details—were disseminated. This led to many being harassed and threatened and some even lost their jobs.” Australia is a country […]
Victor Davis Hanson Real Clear Politics, Feb. 16, 2024 “… no one in the West asks the Ukrainians to warn surrounding civilian populations in occupied Ukraine or inside Russia to keep clear of their intended targets. To do so, apparently, would lessen the surprise effect of Ukrainian attacks.” The Ukrainian and Israeli wars are […]
Amotz Asa-El Jerusalem Post, Feb. 17, 2024 “You care for the Palestinians’ civilian losses? So do we, but your Palestinian heroes deliberately hide among and under their population, along with the arms they clearly plan to use to massacre us. If you have a better method for saving civilian lives while fighting this, tell us […]

Mike Wagenheim World Israel News, Feb. 21, 2024 “This is why every report, statement or number provided by the U.N. cannot be trusted,” Erdan said. “In Gaza, Hamas is the U.N., and the U.N. is Hamas.” Washington stood alone on Tuesday in voting down an Algeria-drafted resolution that demands an immediate humanitarian halt to […]
Eugene Kontorovich WSJ, Feb. 16, 2024 “Some will howl that groups like Unrwa also do important humanitarian work, but it isn’t too much to ask of U.N. agencies that they internalize the costs of forming partnerships with designated terror groups and compensate victims.” Imagine the consequences if an American municipal government were found to have […]
Gregg Roman Algemeiner, Feb. 20, 2024 “… the Red Cross refused to allow Magen David Adom entry to the international organization because the latter wanted to use the Star of David as its symbol in place of a red cross. Even though Muslim Red Cross organizations use a red crescent as their symbol, Israel is singled out […]
Melanie Phillips Substack, Feb. 20, 2024 “If he really wants to end the fighting, he might have a word with his family’s beloved chums in the royal family of Qatar — the state that runs Hamas, shelters its leader Ismail Haniyeh and could therefore end this war tomorrow.” What on earth was HRH the Prince […]

: Stephen Harper, National Post, Feb. 18, 2024 We must stop pretending that a two- state solution can be pursued in the face of the continued propagation of such a view. Yes, we must develop a roadmap that will lead to a Palestinian state, and Israel needs to contribute to that. But Israel should not […]
