From Ian: Seth Mandel: How U.S. Academics Became Apostles of Folktales and Superstition The contrast between protests in Gaza and protests ostensibly for Gaza is startling.

From Ian: Seth Mandel: Stop Ignoring Hamas’s Anti-Americanism The protests on campus and in major U.S. cities in support of Hamas were explicit about their support for “anticolonialist” actions against the U.S. as well. The people tearing down hostage posters weren’t differentiating between American hostages and others. And these were American institutions being vandalized,...

From Ian: Israel: an anti-colonial triumph By early 1948, the catastrophe that was about to overtake the Arabs of Palestine was coming into view.

From Ian: Douglas Murray: How the West can defeat the evil death cults that murder and maim with glee Here in the West, we are prone to trotting out the same old banalities – that people around the world are the same everywhere and essentially want the same things; that everybody wants to just live in peace and bring up their family in safety. Yet some people do not. Not...

03/28 Links Pt2: The Double Standard in the Human-Rights World; Erin Molan: I saw the truth, so I couldn’t stay silent on antisemitism

A large contingent of Doctors Without Borders staff worked there, and its leaders took offense at the Israeli claim. The president of its Australian chapter,...

03/27 Links Pt2: I can no longer forgive the Israeli Left; Columbia Is a Basket Case Because of Its Faculty; Hostages and Missing Families Forum nominated for Nobel Peace Prize

From Ian: I can no longer forgive the Israeli Left What’s more, the Israeli Left (a minority after all) has spent decades trying to convince the world, and the rest of Israel, that peace comes from surrender, that empathy will melt away hatred. That if we just humanize our enemy, they will stop trying to dehumanize us. It was a beautiful dream. But October 7th killed that...

From Ian: Melanie Phillips: The real cause of the antisemitism tsunami This week’s Jerusalem conference on antisemitism was boycotted by a number of international participants who withdrew on account of the presence of “populists” from European parties they termed “far right.” The boycotters claimed that these parties themselves harbored antisemitism. Some European populist...

03/26 Links Pt2: Pro-Palestine American Jews, you’ve been had; Columbia proves it was lying all along about fighting Jew-hate; Gal Gadot’s security enhanced amid death threats

From Ian: Pro-Palestine American Jews, you’ve been had Among those who forcibly occupied Trump Tower recently to protest the deportation of a violent antisemite, were members of the Jewish Voice for Peace, who, along with other far-left groups like IfNotNow, have been parading support for Hamas since its Oct. 7 attack.
