From Ian: The Democrats must have a ‘Sister Souljah moment’ on antisemitism The recent rise in American antisemitism is the result of a lack of consequences for those engaging in it.

From Ian: PMW: Teaching Terror to Tots - reevaluating the Oslo Accords Many observers have been puzzled why the 1993 Oslo peace accords did not lead to peace but precisely the opposite.
