Melanie Phillips JNS, May 16, 2024 “Even more astonishingly, Tabatabai runs the office overseeing hostage negotiations.

Melanie Phillips Substack, May 14, 2024 “That popular triumph was surely why Thug and the whole satanic team burst into tears. It’s what children do. When thwarted they have a tantrum, stamp their foot and cry.” Thug, a “non-binary” individual who performed a pagan satanic routine as a kind of goblinesque Goth, had demanded […]
Mary Herrington UnHerd, May 15, 2024 “It’s hardly original to notice the Puritan streak in modern progressivism.” Why is Greta Thunberg wearing a keffiyeh? The Swedish activist is the poster-girl for climate change. The keffiyeh, though, symbolises a wholly different cause: solidarity with Palestinians in the current conflict with Israel. What does that have to do […]
Shlomo Ben Ami The Korea Times, May 12, 2024 “… it is hard to see how Chen’s essay, which includes no trace of Israeli nationalist fervor, counts as an “exercise of colonial power.” If figures like Chen are being demonized, one can only wonder who these supposedly peace-loving people expect the Palestinians to be able […]
