Molly Ball WSJ, Oct. 31, 2023 “Rep. Josh Gottheimer, a New Jersey centrist, said on X, formerly Twitter that the 15 Democrats who didn’t vote for the resolution were “despicable and do not speak for our party.” In response, one of the 15, Rep. Andre Carson of Indiana, called Gottheimer a “coward” and a “punk,” and invited him to settle […]
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.

Walter Russell Mead WSJ, Oct. 30, 2023 “Jew hatred is the most damaging piece of the “horseshoe” consensus that brings the far left and far right together. This hatred is a sign of mental incapacity and is a barrier to learning.” As students and, worse, professors, at elite universities across the U.S. exulted at the news […]
Suzy Weiss and Francesca Block The Free Press, Oct. 31, 2023 “When you look at the political right you see a group that seems very comfortable with Jews in Israel and very uncomfortable with Jews at home.

Joel Kotkin National Post, Oct. 30, 2023 “The face of antisemitism comes increasingly not from knuckle-dragging neo-Nazis, but from sophistos often aligned with Palestinian activists. Sixty per cent of German antisemitic messages sent to the Israeli Embassy come from well-educated people.” For much of the past century, Jews across Britain, North America and Europe tilted […]
John Podhoretz NY Post, Oct. 26, 2023 “Why do you think the marchers are meeting near Crown Heights anyway? This is why. Their purpose isn’t to call for a cease-fire or to advocate for the Palestinian people. Their purpose is to make known what October 7 made known: There will be no peace or security […]
Brendan O’Neill Spiked, Oct. 22, 2023 “I’m sure Hizb ut-Tahrir, a cult so extreme it is banned in Germany, Saudi Arabia and Pakistan, a cult that referred to Hamas’s invasion of southern Israel as ‘a day of good news,’ was using the word jihad in the peaceful sense.

David Memet UnHerd, Oct. 23, 2023 “… there is no more cosy mystery in the antisemitism of the Democratic Party; Representatives are affiliated with the Democratic Socialists and pro-Palestinians, calling for the end of the state of Israel — that is, for the death of the Jews.” I grew up in a tiny […]
