Editorial WSJ, July 5, 2024 “Their failures created an opening for Reform UK, led by Nigel Farage, a party promising stricter immigration controls and the lower-tax policies the Tories should have delivered years ago. The exit poll pointed to a 13-seat win for Reform, which from a near-standing start signals a level of support that […]
Melanie Phillips The JC, June 30, 2024 “Starmer may have rid the Labour party of its most egregious antisemites. But as in the progressive world in general, he has drawn a wholly artificial line between Jew-hatred and the demonisation of Israel that is now de rigeur on the left.” According to received opinion, the question is […]
Jacob Judah Times of Israel, July 3, 2024 “Outwardly, our dominant concerns seem to be about Israel and antisemitism, but inwardly — in our day-to-day lives — we’re focused on the same issues as the rest of British society, such as health care, education and the cost of living.” Britain will go to […]

englEmilie Botbol JNS, Nov. 7, 2023 “There is clearly reason for concern.

HISTORY MADE FLESH Queen Elizabeth’s Unwavering Service Through a Tumultuous Time in World History: Conrad Black, National Post, Sept. 10, 2022 — The email message from a learned reader of my American columns, a cyber friend in Alabama, read, in its entirety: “She was the most admired and respected person in the entire world.” Thus […]
Amy Spiro Times of Israel, Sept. 8, 2022 “In 2000, the queen inaugurated Britain’s first permanent memorial to the Holocaust,” Queen Elizabeth II, who sat on the throne for 70 years until her death on Thursday, enjoyed a long and warm relationship with the British Jewish community, from the start of her reign in 1952 through […]
Jeremy Havardi JTA, Sept. 9, 2022 “British Jews are feeling the loss of this remarkable monarch as much as their gentile counterparts.” The death 0f Queen Elizabeth II after 70 years on the throne is a devastating loss for Britain, the Commonwealth and the free world.

David P. Goldman PJ Media, Sept. 8, 2022 “Democracy without an overarching sense of the sacred would be a nightmare.” Americans rarely grasp the extent to which the British people invested their monarch with a sense of sanctity. Elizabeth II personified the “mystic chords of memory” that bind a country together with a national […]
