Uzi Reshun Jerusalem Post, Sept. 4, 2024 “It stands to reason, however, that Jews will give undue weight to considerations related to Israel. If so, Kamala Harris’s somewhat ambivalent statements about the current war and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in general may weaken American Jews’ support for her candidacy.” Appearing before Jewish donors in New Jersey, […]

SHABBAT READING Psalms for Our Times: Rashi Counters Christological Readings: Prof. Rabbi Mordechai Z. Cohen, The Torah.com, Aug. 2, 2024 — It is becoming increasingly accepted that Rashi reacted polemically to Christian beliefs and Bible interpretation, and that, throughout his commentaries, he was implicitly refuting the Christian claim that God had rejected Israel. He thus made the […]
Seth Mandel Commentary, Aug. 22, 2024 “In the left-wing world of representative factionalism, “authentic” usually means “maximalist” if not, at the very least, “strident.” The only meek representative in progressive activism will be the Jewish one.” After the parents of Israeli-American hostage Hersh Goldberg-Polin were given a gracious reception at the Democratic National Convention last night, demands […]

BACKING THE WRONG PONY WATCH: Elections 2024: What Elites Are MISSING About the Working Class | Think Twice: JNS TV, July 29, 2024 — So much has been said about Donald Trump’s appeal to blue collar workers since he first came down the escalator to announce his candidacy in 2015. … In this episode of Think Twice, our […]
David Mamet Unherd, Aug. 9, 2024 “The proximate solution to Jewish vulnerability — which I saw but did not say — was not in persuading others to think differently, but in so-persuading oneself.” How may one today elide the choice between defending the Jewish State’s right to exist, and support for its determined assassins?

Jonathan S. Tobin JNS, Aug. 6, 2024 “Shapiro being an affiliated synagogue member who attended Jewish day school and sends his own children to them, as well as has a record of support for Israel dating back to his youth, made him unacceptable to that crucial wing of the party.” There was probably more […]
Gerard Baker WSJ, Aug. 5, 2024 “If the election is decided on the issues, on voters’ perceptions of the state of the country, Ms. Harris is surely in as much trouble as Mr. Biden was.” The only real question for the 90 days remaining in this presidential campaign: Can Operation Transfiguration succeed? Can the Democrats […]

Jonathan S. Tobin JNS, July 25, 2024 “It was an open secret in Washington that even in an administration that was staffed largely by Obama-era alumni, Harris was the most openly sympathetic to the Palestinians and the least inclined to stand with a Jewish state that had suffered the worst mass slaughter of Jews since […]

Gerard Baker WSJ, July 1, 2024 “But now, 42 months (and 81 years) in, it is going horribly wrong. Much of his party has no use for him anymore. They are trying desperately to jettison him and, in a remarkably cynical act of bait-and-switch, swap him out for someone more useful to their cause.” There […]

David Horovitz Times of Israel, Apr. 2, 2024 “The single greatest victim of the war has been the word “genocide,” which has lost the moral force that it once commanded. Our language has become so degraded.” Congressman Ritchie Torres’s first trip abroad, ever, was to Israel — as a newly elected 26-year-old member of […]

Bernard-Henri Lévy WSJ, Mar. 26, 2024 “… why the world has one choice. Instead of putting all their energy into trying to get Israel to bend, leaders should push Hamas to surrender.” Let’s imagine that Israel yields to the pressure. Pushed by an American president already under fire from a segment of the electorate […]

Gil Troy Jewish Journal, Mar. 17, 2024 “It’s a counterproductive trainwreck: The more they bash Israel, the more they weaken America and your re-election prospects; and the more they bash Bibi, the more they boost his.” Dear President Biden, Beware! Secretary of State Anthony Blinken, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and your favourite columnist […]

Caroline B. Glick JNS, Mar. 3, 2024 “The second reason that Carville and other leading Democratic voices in politics, academia and the media are blaming Israel for what they fear will be a Trump victory in November is because they are setting up Israel—and more broadly— “the Jews” in the United States and worldwide—as the […]
