Rebecca Massel Rolling Stone, Nov. 22, 2023 “So you must know a lot about settler colonialism. How do you feel about that?” THE TOPIC WAS justice and righteousness. I was sitting in my Contemporary Civilization class at Columbia University last month debating free will, when I received an email with the subject line “You are disgusting.” “I hope […]
Sheila Nazarian, Jerusalem Post, Feb. 12, 2024 “How is it possible that Nazi-style propaganda hangs in libraries and the administration refuses to intervene?” The congressional hearing at which the presidents of elite universities testified that calls for the genocide of Jews were dependent on context has become infamous. The list of grievances surrounding that notorious hearing is […]
Jonathan Barth Real Clear Education, Feb. 12, 2024 “… many faculty have their noses in the air, oblivious or unruffled by the reasons for their diminishing credibility.” University presidents have been in the limelight in recent months, more than at any other time in living memory. The additional scrutiny is amply warranted. They occupy powerful […]
Shai Davidai and Yardenne Greenspan Tablet, Feb. 13, 2024 “It took us a while to understand it, but once we did everything started making sense: Our friends did not have a problem with our politics, they had a problem with our identity.” Speaking up against Hamas’ crimes against humanity and against the student organizations that […]

Yonah Jeremy Bob, Jerusalem Post, Feb. 13, 2024 International Criminal Court Prosecutor Karim Khan warned Israel on Tuesday of harsher war crimes scrutiny if it invades Rafah, as well as for its general conduct in the war. This is not a verbal threat to be shrugged away, and it may just be the most dramatic […]
Isaac Herzog, WSJ, Feb. 11, 2024 In these dark days for Israel and the civilized world, there are many things that keep me up at night. One is that the international legal system has begun to ignore reality and truth. Justice is unrecognizable, and noble ideals are perverted by terrorists and cynics. These feelings were […]
Gerald Steinberg, Jerusalem Post, Feb. 2, 2024 The immoral and absurd complaint brought by South Africa – falsely charging Israel with genocide – and the majority’s incoherent preliminary decision highlight the deeply problematic nature of the International Court of Justice (ICJ) and related institutions. The central problem is legitimacy, or rather its absence, in the case of […]
Philologos, Mosaic Magazine, Feb. 1, 2024 The International Court of Justice’s January 19 decision that found, by a vote of 15-2, accusations of genocide against Israel sufficiently “plausible” to warrant a thorough investigation is one more hardly needed bit of evidence of how foolish and detached from reality supposedly intelligent legal minds can be.

Jonathan S. Tobin JNS, Feb. 12, 2024 “… the main point of sending Finer to bend the knee to the mayor of Dearborn and other local Arab-American activists was to hint that the escalation of criticism of Israel on the part of the administration may be about to be translated into a policy shift.” […]
