Bret Stephens Commentary, November 2024 “Broadly speaking, American Jews, at least outside of the Orthodox world, opted not just for assimilation. 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 […]
