Matt Taibbi Racket News, May 6, 2023 “The concept theoretically represented a major shift, asking reporters to move from focusing on the what of news to why? and who from?” Last December, Michael Shellenberger reported in a #TwitterFiles thread that the Aspen Institute hosted a “Hack-and-Dump Working Group” exercise in the summer of 2020 titled, “Burisma Leak,” which predicted with uncanny […]
Becket Adams National Review, May 7, 2023 “Fellow journalists, including the Daily Beast’s Justin Baragona and former Washington Post opinion columnist Radley Balko, were quick to amplify Allyn’s false claim, racking up hundreds of combined likes and retweets.” On the last Saturday in April, before a rapt crowd of cheering journalists and B-list celebrities, President Biden declared the American press […]
Chaim Lax Algemeiner, May 3, 2023 “The United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, France, Australia, and the European Union’s messages all celebrated the decades-long relationships they share with the Jewish state, with the US noting that it was the first country to recognize Israel, and Australia taking pride in the fact that it was one of the […]
Jonathan S. Tobin JNS, Apr. 28, 2023 “… the ADL’s attempt to brand Carlson’s concerns about the spread of transgender ideology or the way it has been used to endanger children as homophobic is equally wrongheaded.

SHABBAT READING Holy Times: Emor, The Rabbi Sacks Legacy — The parsha of Emor contains a chapter dedicated to the festivals of the Jewish year. There are five such passages in the Torah. Two, both in the book of Exodus (Ex. 23:14-17; Ex. 34:18, 22-23), are very brief. They refer only to the three pilgrimage festivals, Pesach, Shavuot, and Succot. They do not […]
Sinan Ciddi National Interest, Apr. 28, 2023 “… one can observe that, from the outset, this opposition bloc never prioritized the rule of law and democratic governance issues beyond rhetoric. Instead, it has been focused on the division of political spoils.” There are intense and often heated differences between Turkey watchers over the outcome […]
Onur Isci and Samuel J. Hirst War on the Rocks, May 1, 2023 “Building on our historical research on Turkish-Russian relations, we have argued in Diplomatic History that the baseline for modern Turkish foreign policy is much closer to that of a development-oriented Third World neutral than a committed NATO member.” On May 14, Turkey is scheduled to hold […]
Pietro Baldelli Trends, Apr. 29, 2023 “This cooperation, however, even at times of greater détente, will not lead to the building of a strategic partnership or, even further, an organic alliance.” On August 17, 2022, after a phone call between then Israeli prime minister Yair Lapid and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, the two countries […]
He was jailed and barred from public office, yet managed to overturn the ban and came to dominate Turkish politics. He has won five parliamentary elections, two presidential polls and three referendums. He has even faced down a military coup.

MUTUALLY BENEFICIAL The US-Israel Nexus Transcends Politics And Geo-Strategy: Yoram Ettinger, The Ettinger Report, May 22, 2023 –*Notwithstanding the 75-year-old systematic – and sometimes brutal – pressure on Israel by the US State Department and almost all US presidents, US-Israel commercial and defense cooperation has surged to dramatic heights. US House Speaker McCarthy to Israel: Beware the […]

Tovah Lazaroff Jerusalem Post, May 1, 2023 “If Israel’s enemies thought the US didn’t have Israel’s back, then here was McCarthy to remind them that he did.” It is a rare day when the White House seems almost irrelevant in the relations between nations. But US Republican House Speaker Kevin McCarthy and his bipartisan congressional delegation […]
