Someone complained about one of my @KenRoth tweets to Twitter in Germany (update)

Ken Roth, formerly of Human Rights Watch, has been having a meltdown lately. Over the summer, Harvard's Kennedy School did not offer him a fellowship, reportedly because rich Zionists who fund the school didn't like his record of crazed anti-Israel tweets and reports.We have no information about whether this is really the reason. But Roth is pushing that narrative as...

From Ian: Mark Dubowitz: Obama’s Anti-Imperialist Fantasy Bears Bitter Fruit Unsurprisingly, Iran often seemed to exist for Obama not as a threat to U.S. interests but as a historical victim of Western imperialism, which supposedly overthrew a “democratically elected” Iranian prime minister and installed the shah. Iran’s repressive theocratic regime seemed less notable for...

From Ian: Daniel Greenfield: The light of Hanukkah that has continued to shine for 74 years A candle is a brief flare of light. A wick dipped in oil burns and goes out again. The Hanukkah light appears no different, but it is. Two thousand years after the Jews had come to believe that wars were for other people and miracles meant escaping alive, Jewish armies stood and held...

From Ian: IHRA Definition of Antisemitism Is Only "Polarizing" to Israel's Detractors The International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance's (IHRA) "working definition" of antisemitism is not polarizing to anyone other than Israel's detractors and antisemites.

From Ian: Antisemitism should test America’s conscience The memory of the brutal Holocaust may be fast fading; yet, the evil that brought it about appears to be creeping upon us, once again.

It was Begin who, as prime minister three decades after the founding,...

From Ian: A New Legal Approach to Jew-Hatred It’s what makes Jews one people even if they speak different languages, have different color skin, and observe Judaism with different practices. And so, the concepts and terminology that the anti-Israel left chooses to employ now actually pit anti-Israel zealotry against American anti-discrimination laws. We counsel an updated application of Natan Sharansky’s famous Three D’s test. “Criticizing” Israeli...
