Vivian Bercovici Jewish Chronicle, May 1, 2025 “Mark Carney’s leadership means Canadian Jews are unlikely to be able to count on the police to enforce criminal, civil, or constitutional law in ways that protect their rights, freedoms, or safety.” Since the results of the Canadian federal election were confirmed early Tuesday morning, my phone and […]

Ben Cohen JNS, Apr. 25, 2025 “Israel’s very existence, and not its policies, continues to be the primary complaint of its adversaries.” As we mark the 80th anniversary of the Allied victory over Nazi Germany and the liberation of the concentration camps, that terrible chapter of history no longer seems so distant. While there are […]
David Swindle Algemeiner, May 5, 2025 “To explain for the drop in right-wing incidents, the report’s authors suggested that “amid widespread and intensive media coverage of the Israel-Hamas war and related protests, political activity, and antisemitism – typical of far-left and Islamist circles – relatively less coverage is dedicated to far-right antisemitic incidents.”” Global antisemitism […]
Shany Mor Jewish Chronicle, Apr. 24, 2025 “Britain is just ten or so years ahead of the US.

Agam Berger WSJ, Apr. 10, 2025 “I chose the path of faith and with the path of faith I have returned.” I was kidnapped by Hamas, taken to Gaza and held hostage for 482 days. Today I am home, healthy and whole in body, soul and spirit. This Passover, I am reflecting on my freedom. […]
Ira Stoll The NY Sun, Apr. 15, 2025 “Dr. Garber is so discredited that at this point that earlier this month, New York Congressman Ritchie Torres — a Democrat — showed up on a Saturday morning at Dr. Garber’s own synagogue at the liberal Democratic stronghold of Brookline, Massachusetts, to denounce Harvard’s failed leadership and […]

Liz Essley Whyte, Douglas Belkin and Sara Randazzo WSJ, Apr. 14, 2025 “Antisemitic protesters inflicting violence and taking over entire college campus buildings is not only a crude display of bigotry against Jewish Americans, but entirely disruptive to the intellectual inquiry and research that federal funding of colleges is meant to support.” Columbia University’s president […]
Vimal Patel NY Times, Apr. 14, 2025 “Harvard, for its part, has been under intense pressure from its own students and faculty to be more forceful in resisting the Trump administration’s encroachment on the university and on higher education more broadly.” The Trump administration acted quickly on Monday to punish Harvard University after it refused […]
Alan Dershowitz Gatestone, Apr. 1, 2025 “… there are appropriate limits to academic freedom by universities seeking federal funding.” Many left-wing university faculty members (a redundancy if there ever was one) are rebelling against the Trump administration’s threat to cut federal funding to universities that tolerate antisemitic actions against their Jewish students. They condemned the […]
Jonathan S. Tobin JNS, Apr. 11, 2025 “… the liberal leadership of the organized Jewish world at places like ADL and AJC, as well as thought leaders like Lipstadt and Summers, feel that siding with Trump against antisemites is a bridge too far for them.” Is there such a thing as being too opposed to […]
