Avi Benlolo National Post, May 5, 2023 “In the United Church and in many other “progressive” circles, there is a disconnect between understanding the antisemitism that allowed the Holocaust to happen and the anti-Israel boycotts that have re-energized modern antisemitism.” As an academic and educator in Holocaust studies, I have given much thought over […]

Dion J. Pierre Algemeiner, May 19, 2023 “Although there was an almost insignificant decrease from last year, antisemitic incidents continue to occur at an unacceptable and dangerous pace. Frankly, the amount of hate directed at Canadian Jews is shameful.” The number of antisemitic hate crimes in Toronto, Canada recorded in 2022 remained above pre-pandemic […]
Andrea Freedman Ottawa Citizen, Dec. 16, 2022 “… it came to light that Canadian MPs from all parties (Bloc Québécois, Conservatives, Greens, Liberals and NDP), including federal cabinet minister Omar Alghabra and Green Party Leader Elizabeth May, attended a reception on Parliament Hill at which a Holocaust denier and terrorist sympathizer, Nazih Khatatba, was also present.” Less than a […]
Alex Goldenberg and Becca Wertman-Traub National Post, May 13, 2023 “This is not just an American phenomenon, as similar trends have emerged in Canada.” If there is anything positive from Kanye West’s anti-Jewish screeds last fall, it is perhaps that more people are now aware of both fringe and mainstream actors who, with the […]

CELEBRATING YOM YERUSHALAYIM: MAY 18TH – 19TH Why Jews Speak of Memory, Not History: Meir Y. Soloveichik, Commentary Magazine, June 2023 — On a recent visit to Israel, I toured the Museum of the Underground Prisoners, in Acre. It is housed in the Ottoman fortress that the British utilized as their most important prison during their colonial […]
: Andrew C. McCarthy, National Review, May 16, 2023 “… the most sensible interpretation of the evidence Durham has amassed is not that the FBI, in evaluating its collusion evidence, failed to weigh intercepted Russian intelligence about that strategy. It is that the FBI was well aware of Clinton’s strategy, fully expected Clinton to be […]
Paul Sperry, Real Clear Investigations, May 16, 2023 While it’s bad enough the debunked dossier the FBI used to spy on the Trump campaign was paid for by the Clinton campaign and authored by a foreign FBI informant and his carousing researcher, the newly released report of Special Counsel John Durham strongly suggests a top […]
Editorial Board I & I, May 18, 2023 “The only plausible answer for this “noticeable departure” is that it was indeed just that — a conscious move on the part of the FBI to intervene in a presidential election on behalf of a political ally.” The long-delayed, much-awaited Durham report has finally dropped. And what […]
Holman W. Jenkins Jr. WSJ, May 16, 2023 If there wasn’t a “Clinton plan”—the phrase used 65 times in Monday’s published report by Justice Department special counsel John Durham—to tar then-rival Donald Trump as a Russian agent, there may have been a plan about what to say if anybody asked if there was a Clinton plan. […]

Who Wants to Destroy Israel? You Might Be Surprised.: Guy Milliere, Gatestone Institute, May 15, 2023 — On April 17-18, Israel observed Holocaust Martyrs’ and Heroes’ Remembrance Day. Sirens sounded across the country while people stood for two minutes of silence in remembrance of six million Jews who had been murdered. ________________________________________________________ Israel at 75 Is Threatened but Strong: Walter Russell […]
Walter Russell Mead WSJ, May 15, 2023 “American policy toward Israel depends less on poll numbers than on how a given U.S. president sees American interests world-wide and where Israel and the Middle East fit into the administration’s global foreign policy.” It’s been 75 years since the Jewish community in British Palestine rejected a last-minute plea […]
Philip Klein National Review, Apr. 27, 2023 “The conflict between being an open and liberal state and an explicitly Jewish one has led to clashes on immigration, transportation, social welfare, and army service, among many other topics.” Spending Passover in Israel feels like cheating. For a Jew in America, the experience of going eight days without […]
