Jordan Peterson The Telegraph, Oct. 16, 2023 “This warped psychological perspective has an appeal to groups larger than just the core individuals, and in various surreal guises. How else are you to explain the staggeringly incomprehensible spectacle of, for example, ‘Queers for Palestine’ – perhaps the most egregious example of the union of the desire by ‘progressives’ […]
Simon Cottee UnHerd, Oct. 18, 2023 “… these Hamas murderers can and did think. And they had no doubt spent a lot of time wolfishly fantasising about how they would inflict maximum degradation on Jews. And they would have been able to entertain these demonic thoughts because they were raised in a culture that is […]
Boaz Munro Tablet, Oct. 19, 2023 “And I fell apart. For a few days, I felt like the country was sliding inexorably toward the unthinkable fate of 1940s Germany.
