Jonathan S. Tobin JNS, Oct. 9. 2024 “The message this sends to all journalists at the news network is that they better not ask any tough questions when interviewing those who advocate for the end of Israel.” There are times when terrible books can be useful. In the case of Ta-Nehisi Coates’ truly awful The […]

*** David Harsanyi Washington Examiner, Oct. 1, 2024 “Coates is less a one-note thinker than a toddler banging on a snare drum with a mallet.” Ta-Nehisi Coates begins the Israeli-Palestinian section of his new book, The Message, with a visit to Yad Vashem, the Holocaust museum in Jerusalem. The excursion, taken on the last day of his 10-day junket to […]
Barton Swain The Washington Free Beacon, Oct. 13, 2024 “With The Message, Ta-Nehisi Coates has become a clownish, postmodern Walter Duranty.” Rarely has a book been so lavishly applauded as Ta-Nehisi Coates’s Between the World and Me was in 2015.

Gilead Ini CAMERA, Sept. 9, 2024 “… in a world where young people are increasingly clueless about what the Holocaust was, it may be more useful to look at Albanese’s more precise affronts, especially (but not limited to) her comments related to the massacre of October 7.” When Holocaust denier Gilad Atzmon wrote a book about the evils of […]
David Herman The Article, Sept. 11, 2024 “The findings reveal a deeply worrying pattern of bias and multiple breaches by the BBC of its own editorial guidelines on impartiality, fairness and establishing the truth.” Over the past year and more I have written a number of pieces for The Article about BBC bias against Israel. I make no […]
Jonathan S. Tobin JNS, Sept. 12, 2024 “… no matter who you plan to vote for in November or what you think of Harris and Trump, the collapse of media credibility must be seen as a potentially lethal threat to American democracy and Jewish life.” Believe it or not, journalists are not at the bottom […]

Daniel Edelson Ynet News, Aug. 5, 2024 “A significant portion is dedicated to American cooperation, particularly President Joe Biden’s, with the “genocide.” It also highlights Republican lawmakers, like Max Miller, a former aide to Donald Trump, who said Gaza would become a “parking lot.” After heated debate, Wikipedia editors renamed ‘Allegations of genocide in the […]
