Jonathan S. Tobin JNS, Nov. 30, 2023 “Though the administration insists that it still wants Hamas defeated, it is also declaring that it opposes any real effort to clear the terrorists out of southern Gaza as Israel has begun to do so in the northern part of the Strip.”   This isn’t supposed to be the president […]

Lance Morrow WSJ, Dec. 3, 2023 “Students at Harvard and Columbia don’t protest the region’s routine inhumanities. They do so only when there are Jews around to blame and to hate. It’s the Israelis’ Jewishness that brings the demonstrators out.” I remember a dinner party on Martha’s Vineyard in the 1970s when I and my […]

Becket Adams The Hill, Nov. 6, 2023 “… many in our media would play nice with a group composed of rapists and killers who routinely use human shields in conflict to maximize civilian casualties, insisting that we appreciate the “context” of their atrocities and taking their word as fact. As for stateside supporters of Hamas, it is difficult […]

Liel Leibovitz Tablet, Nov. 14, 2023 “They cheer for #MrFAFO not despite the fact that he’s so obviously faking it but precisely because of it. His performances promise liberation from the annoyances of a fact-based reality whose contradictions are inherently troubling.”   There he is, a victim of an Israeli air raid, writhing in pain in a […]

Nicole Lampert Unherd, Dec. 2, 2023 “Salman has dedicated much of his life to pushing for the controversial “right of return” of Palestinians to the land which is now Israel. He has called Israelis “ghetto-dwellers in Europe who came to take our land”, described the founding of the state of Israel as “exactly like Nazi Germany occupying […]

Nial Ferguson WSJ, Nov. 29, 2023 “Kissinger’s real contribution was as a strategist and negotiator. Asked in 1976 to assess his own statesmanship, he replied: “I have tried—with what success historians will have to judge—to have an overriding concept.” He combined grand strategy with indefatigable “shuttle diplomacy” and an ability to read his foreign counterparts.” […]

Robert D. Kaplan Unherd, Nov. 30, 2023 “Kissinger continues to be hated because of Vietnam. But as strange as it may seem, Kissinger and Nixon, in withdrawing from Vietnam in the bloody manner that they did, demonstrated real character: they believed that they were serving the national interest and proving their toughness to China and the Soviet […]

Charlie Summers Times of Israel, Nov. 30, 2023 “As Nixon’s right-hand man, Kissinger often bore the brunt of the president’s antisemitic remarks. The president would publicly embarrass Kissinger by referring to him as his “Jew boy,” including during a meeting with Egyptian foreign minister Ismail Fahmi.” Henry Kissinger, the controversial diplomat responsible for some of the United States’ […]
