Brendan O’Neill Spiked, Oct. 31, 2023 “… there is a logical line from the furious denunciation of certain forms of speech as ‘violence’ to the implicit acceptance of actual violence if it is directed against ‘bad’ people. That line is what we might call narcissistic savagery, where almost anything can be justified in the name […]

Benjamin Baird The Federalist, Oct. 13, 2023 “Tlaib, who is of Palestinian heritage, said Sunday that a peaceful solution “must include lifting the blockade, ending the occupation and dismantling the apartheid system that creates the suffocating, dehumanizing conditions that can lead to resistance.” In the wake of a brutal terrorist attack on Israel, members of […]

Theodore Dalrymple City Journal, Oct. 12, 2023 “… the barbarians are within the gates.” The sight of thousands of young people in London celebrating the massacres that Hamas committed in Israel unsurprisingly made many people’s blood run cold. The demonstrators rejoiced not despite the brutality of what was done but because of it. What […]
Boaz Munro Tablet, Oct. 19, 2023 “And I fell apart. For a few days, I felt like the country was sliding inexorably toward the unthinkable fate of 1940s Germany. After all, I thought, if people will shrug off beatings and swastikas, they’ll shrug off stabbings and shootings. And then they’ll shrug off pogroms—at least if […]

Brendan O’Neill Spiked, Oct. 18, 2023 “… there is something else we need to investigate, too – the supine willingness of our own liberal elites to parrot the Hamas line that this was definitely an Israeli strike and proof of Israel’s evil. It is not enough to investigate where the missile came from – we […]
Matthew Continetti Washington Free Beacon, Oct. 17, 2023 “President Biden’s visit to Israel is an opportunity to rectify the past. To gain back lost ground, he must resist the temptation to treat the wars against Russia and Hamas as discrete.” When Joe Biden visits Israel on Wednesday, he will be the first U.S. president […]

J.J. Kimche WSJ, Oct. 10, 2023 “How can we share dormitories, classrooms and ideas with students who would makes excuses or even celebrate if we and our families were hacked to death by a Hamas terrorist tomorrow?” Hamas’s attack on Israel was a small-scale Holocaust, a moment no Jew alive with the tiniest speck […]
Marc Rowan The Free Press, Oct. 11, 2023 “At UPenn, the embrace of double standards and the unacceptable status quo, which privileges antisemitism, did not begin on President Magill’s and Chairman Bok’s watch, but they are the protectors of it.” While Hamas terrorists were slaughtering Israeli Jews, university administrators were figuring out how to […]
Jeffrey Blehar National Review, Oct. 11, 2023 “While one would expect college-age pro-Palestinian activists (morally deranged as they are) to stand up for Hamas in their sloppily knotted keffiyehs regardless of how many women and children the organization butchers or rapes, one would not have expected nearly every other South Asian, Middle Eastern, or North […]
Ian Oxnevad Minding the Campus, Oct. 12, 2023 “The Ivy League’s interest in promoting apparatchiks for Iran’s theocrats can only be explained by academia’s anti-Israel hatred and its hostility towards the West in general.” The leafy quads and collegiate student gatherings of the current Fall semester hide deep ties between American universities and the […]

Bret Stephans NY Times, Oct. 10, 2023 “Something similar must be said about a much broader swath of the left that looks in heartfelt horror at what happened on Saturday but rarely stops to wonder whether it played any role in creating the moral and intellectual climate for what has unfolded.” On Saturday morning […]

David Bernstein Quillette, Oct. 13, 2022 ”At the end of the meeting, one of the organizers drew the black participants into a circle. She preached, “I was blind but now I am Woke.” The participants repeated the chant and loudly proclaimed “Amen.” At this point, I realized that the call to be woke was, in fact, a […]
