Arynne Wexler Tablet, Dec. 5, 2023 “The story of the Maccabees is one of defiance and anti-assimilation. It’s about hard-as-nails Jews who fight for survival. It’s time we bring that back.” I hate Hanukkah. Wait, let me revise that. I hate what Hanukkah has become. A minor holiday in Israel, Hanukkah is often the one […]
Seth Mandel Commentary Magazine, Dec. 7, 2023 “No menorah lighting because Shirley Vermillion and her festival don’t want to give the impression that they support killing children—and having a Jewish ceremony would, in her eyes, do exactly that.” Nothing crystallizes the inseparability of Judaism from the state of Israel quite like efforts to ban […]
Elana Stein Heinpower Times of Israel, Dec. 7, 2023 “What bound all of these Jews together was more powerful than what divided them.” Hanukkah reminds us that miracles are possible and that seemingly unwinnable wars can be won. But it also holds lessons about partial victories, imperfect heroes, and incomplete belonging. We tell the story […]
David Mamet Unherd, Dec. 7, 2023 “Western Jews have traditionally voted for liberalism, … We support the United Nations, a Potemkin village of remittance men hired to denounce Israel, and we elect politicians who kowtow to murderous antisemites. We send our children to elite universities, which teach antisemitism and support anti-Jewish demonstrations, and then advise […]

OUTRIGHT LIES University Presidents’ Abhorrent Hypocrisy on Anti-Jewish Speech: The Editors, National Review, Dec. 6, 2023 — All of a sudden, America’s elite universities have started to sound like John Stuart Mill. Asked yesterday by Representative Elise Stefanik (R., N.Y.) whether students who call for “intifada” or shout “from the river to the sea” were acting “contrary to […]
Andrew C. McCarthy National Review, Nov. 25, 2023 “The Brotherhood is a movement that sprang from universities and has always catalyzed campus radicalism.” After the jihadist barbarities of October 7, Israel responded with aerial bombardments of Hamas havens in Gaza, in preparation for the now-ongoing ground invasion. As the bombs fell, Hamas heavyweight Mousa Abu […]
Roger Kimball The Spectator, Nov. 14, 2023 ‘The real change, if it comes, will be the loss of widely shared social legitimacy that this revolution-by-major-donors may precipitate.” Maybe there is something for which we have to thank Hamas after all. That savage terror group epitomizes the latest form of murderous, antisemitic brutality. The world — […]
Penny Pance Washington Times, Nov. 28, 2023 “This antisemitic mindset apparently never left the halls of academia. In the U.S. today, racists are now running the universities, implementing diversity, equity and inclusion programs that have reinforced hate not based on inclusion but on anti-colonialism. These DEI officers blame Whites for colonizing the Americas, and they blame Israel for […]

Michael R. Bloomberg WSJ, Nov. 17, 2023 “Instead of issuing statements on selective issues, college presidents should adopt the policy the University of Chicago has stuck to since 1967, when it declared: “The university is the home and sponsor of critics; it is not itself the critic.” The barbaric attack by Hamas against Israel—the […]
