Dovid Margolin Mosaic Magazine, Jan. 7, 2020 “In Ukraine, instead of declaring war, Moscow claimed from the start that “separatists” were bravely trying to break away from the Kiev regime and that it had a moral obligation to protect them.” In early 2014, political disruption in Ukraine devolved into unrest, a Russian invasion of […]
Vladislav Davidzon Tablet, July 11, 2023 “So it needs to be stated outright in an unambiguous and axiomatic fashion: There exists no serious neo-Nazi threat in Ukraine. None at all.” It was deeply exasperating and disappointing to read the latest screed published in The Forward regarding neo-Nazi influence within the now-infamous Ukrainian Azov battalion. The article, […]
Jonathan S. Tobin JNS, June 7, 2023 “The reason why Ukrainians wear these symbols is not exactly a mystery. While Ukrainians have the right to self-determination and independence, their nationalist movement has been linked to antisemitism since its beginnings.” How important is the struggle against antisemitism to the liberal corporate media? How much of […]
Thomas Gibbons-Neff NY Times, June 5, 2023 “Ukraine’s ambivalence about these symbols, and sometimes even its acceptance of them, risks giving new, mainstream life to icons that the West has spent more than a half-century trying to eliminate.” Since Russia began its invasion of Ukraine last year, the Ukrainian government and NATO allies have posted, […]

Canaan Lidor Times of Israel, July 2, 2023 “There was no logic to the madness. The rioters just smash any shop in their path, there’s no selection.” Before sunset, Jonathan C. draws the curtains of his apartment in the Paris suburb of Sarcelles tightly and makes sure no light can be seen from outside. “I […]

Fiamma Nirenstein JNS, July 4, 2023 “As always with frenzied mass movements, this one soon came to concentrate on their perverted image of “the Jew.” The tragic police shooting of French 17-year-old Nahel Merzouk and the ensuing massive riots cannot but recall the murder of George Floyd by a police officer in Minneapolis in […]

SHABBAT READING Korah Took…: Prof. Haim (Howard) Kreisel, The Torah.com, June 22, 2023 — After the punishment of the wilderness generation for the sin of the scouts, Korah, a Levite, leads a group of people in an uprising against Moses.[1] Their complaint seems straightforward and reasonable: במדבר טז:ג וַיִּקָּהֲלוּ עַל מֹשֶׁה וְעַל אַהֲרֹן וַיֹּאמְרוּ אֲלֵהֶם רַב לָכֶם […]

Armin Rosen Tablet, July 1, 2022 ‘It is not a stretch to wonder if a pro-Zionist diversity bureaucrat is an ideological contradiction in terms.” Of all the signs that the Jewish community’s political influence has waned in New York City, perhaps none has been as stark as the City University of New York’s frequent […]
Rebecca Roiphe Sapir Journal, Volume Six Summer 2022 “The lecture halls in our law schools are now filled with professors and students who believe these things.
