Canaan Lidor and Amelie Botbol JNS, Oct. 29, 2024 “In my opinion this move won’t be the end of UNRWA, but I would hope that responsible governments such as the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom or Germany take this as an opportunity to engage in significant investigations.” Israel’s Knesset on Monday made it […]
Asaf Romirowsky and Alex Joffe Pundicity, Oct. 3, 2024 “UNRWA’s ties to terror go back decades, as do denials.” There are few constants in American foreign policy.

Seth J. Frantzman Jerusalem Post, Oct. 29, 2024 “IT’S WORTH thinking of UNRWA not as the organization it was after its founding, when it provided essential services that were actually needed, but rather as the empire of perpetual suffering that it has become.” In the wake of Israel passing two bills that essentially block the […]

Too often, they went for self-erasure.” The prose style of Bernard-Henri Lévy, France’s most recognizable public intellectual, is not to everyone’s taste. He is prone to grandiloquence, self-reference, and metaphor salads. In the margins […]
Jonathan S. Tobin JNS, Oct. 11, 2024 “… many American Jews have been happily swimming in the same cultural sea of hostility towards Zionism, and until recently, never suspected that its venom could drown them.” On Yom Kippur, there will, as there is every year, be a lot of collective breast-beating in the American Jewish community […]
