Il est censé se battre pour remédier à des injustices – sociales, religieuses, nationales, raciales. Mais pour tous ces problèmes, sa seule solution est la démolition de la […]

“it is difficult for the Jewish community to take UofT’s apology for the school’s history of antisemitism seriously at the same time that the university is timorous in combating antisemitism among the TFOM faculty – as exemplified by a letter, signed by 45 faculty members, the minority of whom are Jewish, sent to the UofT’s […]
Dominic Green WSJ, Jan. 24, 2023 “… these schools function as think tanks, facilitating valuable exchanges between academic theorists and real-world practitioners.” Should Kenneth Roth, recently retired executive director of Human Rights Watch, receive a fellowship at Harvard’s John F. Kennedy School of Government? In late July, the Kennedy School’s dean, Doug Elmendorf, rejected Mr. Roth’s […]
Alexander Joffe Algemeiner, Feb. 1, 2023 “By characterizing antisemitic harassment as “academic freedom” and framing complaints as mere unhappiness regarding “discourse on difficult topics,” the university dismissed concerns in a manner unique to Jewish issues.” As 2023 begins, several trends related to the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement have become clear.

INCREASING TIES No, President Biden, the Synagogue Attack Was Not Against the “Civilized World”: David Suissa, Jewish Journal, Jan. 28, 2023 — We attach ourselves to narratives because they comfort us. It’s comforting to think that the terrorist who murdered seven Jews coming out of a Jerusalem synagogue was striking a blow against “the civilized world,” as […]
Ari Blaff Newsweek, Sept. 13, 2022 “Abundant polling data demonstrates that Palestinians leaders broadly represent the values found on the Palestinian street.” It was said when Israel pulled out of Gaza. It was parroted when the halcyon days of Oslo crumbled into the bombed-out ruins of Israeli restaurants and discotheques. When democracy first came to the Palestinian territories. When […]
Melanie Philips Substack, Jan. 30, 2023 “The EU never loses an opportunity to defame Israel and pour money and support into illegal Palestinian activity in colonising land to which the Jews alone have a historic and legal claim.” Seven Israeli Jews were murdered outside a Jerusalem synagogue on Friday night, the start of the Jewish […]
