Rich Lowry National Review, Oct. 27, 2023 “If Gaza were equally Westernized, it would be worrying about whether it’s overbuilding seaside real estate rather than having to get water and electricity from the neighboring country its governing authority — a savage terror group — is trying to destroy.” The cataract of anti-Israel sentiment on college […]
Philip Carl Salzman Epoch Times, Oct. 18, 2023 “McGill didn’t stop with a righteous sentiment.
