Adam Kirsch WSJ, Aug. 16, 2024 “For the academic discipline of settler colonial studies, the goal of learning about settler colonialism in America and elsewhere is not simply to understand it, as a historian would, but to dismantle it.” This week Minouche Shafik resigned as president of Columbia University, the latest Ivy League leader to become a […]

Martin Kramer Martin Kramer on the Middle East, Aug. 15, 2024 ” How did Columbia go from “two Palestinians” to a “unique concentration” in just seven years?” The resignation of Minouche Shafik, president of Columbia University, is being hailed as a victory all around. Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.), who had called for her resignation back in April, celebrated the […]
Liel Leibovitz City Journal, Aug. 16, 2024 “These twin statements, Armstrong’s and Shafik’s, tell the story of Columbia’s decline better than any in-depth analysis ever could.” Earlier this week, Minouche Shafik, Columbia University’s president, unexpectedly resigned her post. You would think that the departure of an Ivy League leader less than three weeks before the start of […]
Tovia Smith NPR, Aug. 12, 2024 “I could not care less about students busting up some windows when they’re getting degrees revoked for protesting the killing of human beings!” To many pro-Palestinian campus activists, it was a crushing coincidence of the calendar. Just as nationwide protests over the Israel-Hamas war were coming to a crescendo, […]
Samuel M. Edelman Times of Israel, Aug. 19, 2024 “At the heart of this effort are nine lies accepted without question by a small yet vocal group of students and professors on campuses, in high schools, and even middle schools.” What is at the core of the massive antisemitism we have seen happening […]

“Do these judgments suggest a leadership in Jerusalem that believes in the potential net benefits of a measured nuclear retaliation? Or do they suggest a leadership in Jerusalem that believes such a reprisal would bring upon Israel variously intolerable levels of conventional Iranian destruction? And is the leadership in Tehran expectedly rational?” – Louis Rene Beres […]

Caroline B. Glick JNS, Aug. 16, 2024 “Netanyahu’s fears of U.S. leaks were based on his experience with the Obama administration.” On Wednesday, Fox News and The Jerusalem Post ran stories based on a report from Kuwait’s Al-Jarida newspaper claiming that the U.S. had revealed to Iranian authorities the identities of 10 Mossad agents in Iran who allegedly were involved in the July […]
Michael Oren The Free Press, Aug. 15, 2024 “Hamas head Yahya Sinwar wants nothing more than a regional conflict that would draw the remaining Israeli troops from Gaza and vastly increase international pressure on the Jewish state.” For more than two weeks, Israelis have been waiting for war. Immediately after the July 31 assassination of […]
Seth Mandel Commentary, Aug. 15, 2024 “Essentially, Mideast regional diplomacy is a relic from another era.” On the surface, it makes sense that Amos Hochstein spent the lead-up to this week’s ceasefire negotiations in Lebanon. Hochstein, a presidential advisor on energy, is also President Biden’s envoy to most multi-party negotiations involving the U.S. and Lebanon. Hezbollah […]
Louis Rene Beres JNS, Aug. 12, 2024 “What should Israeli strategic planners conclude? In part, at least, the answer depends on their view of Iran’s reciprocal judgments of Israel’s leaders.” During its impending war with Iran, Israel’s overriding objective should be to keep that jihadist enemy non-nuclear. The best way to meet this objective will […]

SHABBAT READING The Shema: Instructions for a Romance with YHWH: Prof. Rabbi Reuven Kimelman, The Torah.com, Aug. 11, 2022 — The Shema[1] is taken from the book of Deuteronomy, and named after the first word of the passage: דברים ו:ד שְׁמַע יִשְׂרָאֵל יְ־הוָה אֱלֹהֵינוּ יְ־הוָה אֶחָד. Deut 6:4 Hear, O Israel! YHWH is our God, YHWH alone. Following this […]
Daniel Edelson Ynet News, Aug. 5, 2024 “A significant portion is dedicated to American cooperation, particularly President Joe Biden’s, with the “genocide.” It also highlights Republican lawmakers, like Max Miller, a former aide to Donald Trump, who said Gaza would become a “parking lot.” After heated debate, Wikipedia editors renamed ‘Allegations of genocide in the […]
