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. The scene was a chilling reminder of the giant rift splitting...

From Ian: Court freezes PA tax funds for bereaved father whose family was killed by terrorists The Jerusalem District Court issued an order on Tuesday to freeze NIS 50 million ($13.7 million) worth of Palestinian Authority tax dollars after Rabbi Leo Dee, whose wife and two daughters were murdered by Hamas terrorists two years ago, sued the West Bank-based government. The...

03/25 Links Pt2: Hamas’s American Mouthpieces; The appeasement of Iran; Former hostage tells of being sexually assaulted in Gaza; Argentina to declassify Nazi-era documents

From Ian: Seth Mandel: Hamas’s American Mouthpieces The Internet is abuzz today over a lawsuit filed against several anti-Semitic organizations. The suit alleges, with a fair amount of evidence, that these groups aren’t merely pro-Hamas in outlook but that they coordinate their messaging and actions with Hamas and other terror groups. The complaint is thorough and damning,...

From Ian: Walter Russell Mead: Hamas's Oct. 7 Attack Was the Greatest Palestinian Strategic Blunder since the Rejection of the UN Partition Resolution in 1947 With so much going on in the Middle East, it's more vital than ever to distinguish between the deep trends bringing lasting change to the region and the dramatic but ultimately less important events that often dominate...

03/24 Links Pt2: Columbia University Has the Free Speech Problem, Not the Trump Administration; The grand deception on American campuse; Khalil Omitted Work for Terror-Tied UNRWA From Green Card Application

From Ian: Columbia University Has the Free Speech Problem, Not the Trump Administration On Friday, Columbia University agreed to fulfill the Trump administration’s demands in exchange for the release of millions of dollars in suspended funds. Charles Fain Lehman explains that the government, by withholding the money, has in fact succeeded in protecting free speech on campus: ...

From Ian: Resistance is terror In a recent pronouncement, the Iranian foreign minister re-emphasized the Islamic regime’s mandate for the Palestinians to continue their “resistance” against Israel. The term “resistance” is used to sound like a noble pursuit, but in this context, it has long been a euphemism for something far more sinister: Terrorism. What Palestinian leaders,...

03/23 Links: Israel's Stunning Blow Against Hamas's Fascists; The war on Jews has returned, and the West is complicit; Proof of Iran's Direct Role in Planning Oct. 7

From Ian: Brendan O'Neill: Israel's Stunning Blow Against Hamas's Fascists Imagine if, following an Allied raid on Nazi positions, the newspapers the next day told us about nothing but the civilian casualties. No mention of the fascists who were killed. Instead, just pained commentary on the suffering of the innocents who tragically found themselves swept up in this act of...

03/22 Links: The cancer of October 7 denial is spreading; Columbia’s Egregious Public-Relations Campaign; Unpacking Witkoff’s Tucker interview: What is the US's stance on Gaza?

From Ian: The cancer of October 7 denial is spreading. Its antidote is this forensic account of Hamas’s crimes I would strongly urge anyone to read this report, especially as it lets the facts speak for themselves, though the horror is too great for me to dwell on it here. I draw only on a couple of examples whose poignancy strikes me. One tells of Aviv Kutz, a graphic...

03/21 Links Pt2: The Palestinian Fetish; The pro-CCP Marxist revolutionary group behind the Mahmoud Khalil protests; Gaming the Wiki System; Columbia caves to Trump admin demands

From Ian: Seth Mandel: An Unprecedented Moment in American Jewish History As-a-Jews aside—that is, other than the Beinartian mascots of self-loathing—most American Jews are embracing the fight. That is because they know two things: One, that the explosion of anti-Semitism since 10/7, and the particularly sadistic nature of its bloodlust, won’t go away on its own, and may...

From Ian: What Trump’s Latest Houthi Strike Really Means For more than a year, the Iran-backed Houthis have been launching drones and missiles at ships traversing the Red Sea, as well as at Israeli territory, in support of Hamas. This development has drastically curtailed shipping through the Suez Canal and the Bab al-Mandeb Strait, driving up trade prices. This week, the...
