Douglas Murray NY Post, May 8, 2024 “Perhaps the students that we see at these destroyed universities, perhaps they just need a dose of reality someday.” Adapted from Douglas Murray‘s speech Monday as The Post columnist accepted the Manhattan Institute’s Alexander Hamilton Award. I’ve never seen as much of the best and the worst of […]

Gadi Taub Tablet, May 7, 2024 “What all of these shockingly openly subversive moves against a key U.S. military ally have so far not produced is the desired result—a subservient government run by the would-be King Benny.” In the eyes of the Biden administration, Hamas is the smaller problem. The bigger problem is Benjamin […]
Seth Mandel Commentary, May 9, 2024 “To abandon that fight is to surrender to the barbarians at the gate, ensuring the post-Biden transition is not only imminent and irreversible (in the near term, at least) but chaotic, authoritarian, and baldly anti-Semitic.” Welcome to the post-presidency of Joe Biden. He’s still in the big chair, […]
Brendan O’Neill Spiked, May 9, 2024 “Biden’s intervention is the most striking – and unforgivable.” Imagine if, in 2017, the world told the Kurds to hold off from attacking Raqqa. Imagine if, following their valiant liberation of 2,000 square miles of Syrian territory from the barbaric diktat of the Islamic State, the Kurdish-led forces were told […]

SHABBAT READING An Inner-Biblical Elaboration of the Decalogue: Prof. Edward L. Greenstein, TheTorah.com, May 11, 2016 — In the late Second Temple period, the Ten Commandments, or Decalogue, was as central to Jewish worship as the Shema (Deut 6:4-9) and preceded it in the morning prayers of the priests, prior to their making the daily (Tamid) sacrifice in the […]
Peter Baker NY Times, May 7, 2024 “At the same time, no side knows the others’ breaking point, and I worry that no side accurately understands the others’ assessments.” Over the course of a few hours, the news from the Middle East came into the White House Situation Room fast and furious. Israel orders 100,000 […]
David Horovitz Times of Israel, May 8, 2024 “The Hamas proposal is structured to enable it to release very few of the hostages in return not only for an end to the IDF’s campaign in Gaza and its survival and resumption of full control there, but also for a planned surge in support for […]
Walter E. Block Israel Hayom, May 1, 2024 “… the IDF could have accomplished this task, not in a “few weeks” but in approximately six days. A large part of the reason that they are now into this battle not for six weeks but for six months and counting is that Hamas embeds itself into […]
Tamir Hayman INSS, May 7, 2024 “The operation in Rafah has only just begun, and it’s not advisable to declare its scope. This is a developing operation, and it’s forbidden to provide the enemy with certainty.” I would like to put in order what seems to be contradictory: an unnecessary delay and frankly, for the […]

DENYING, DOWNPLAYING, RATIONALIZING, IGNORING Biden’s Speech at the Holocaust Remembrance Ceremony, Annotated; Zachary B. Wolf and Annette Choi, CNN, May 7, 2024 — President Joe Biden talked about the documented increase of antisemitism in the United States during the annual US Holocaust Memorial Museum’s Days of Remembrance ceremony at the US Capitol building. Degradation, And Redemption: Biden, Israel and the […]
Jonathan S. Tobin JNS, May 7, 2024 “Biden has essentially been playing a double game on the war with Hamas since Oct. 7.” When President Joe Biden wants to say the right things about Israel and antisemitism, he knows how to do it. Much like his comments immediately after the Oct. 7 massacres, his speech at a Holocaust […]
