04/18 Links Pt2: Melanie Phillips: The Jewish community's fifth column; Vermont, Mohsen Mahdawi, and Mountains of Useful Idiots; Harry Truman’s Seder Message

From Ian: Melanie Phillips: The Jewish community's fifth column To issue such a public denunciation during a war for Israel’s existence is an act of treachery and betrayal. And in their supreme arrogance, the 36 are inflicting this damage from the relative safety of their homes thousands of miles away. Even though they amount to merely one tenth of the Board’s 300 representatives,...

From Ian: Seth Mandel: Now It Can Be Told: Hamas Is Mortal This follows a familiar pattern: Israeli and American officials say something that is grounded in experience and rationality and thus is likely correct. The world bellows a collective How dare you? and rolls on. Eventually what the Israeli and American officials said is proved true. No one says “sorry.” It has long...

04/17 Links Pt2: What to Do with a Bad Guest; The real lesson of the attack on Josh Shapiro; The spoiled brats of Youth Demand; How do the lawyers defending Hamas sleep at night?

From Ian: Meir Soloveichik: What to Do with a Bad Guest First: To deport a radical pro-Hamas activist is to do so in the knowledge that those representing such positions on college quads not only dislike Israel. They also hate America. Indeed, the very organization Khalil represented, Columbia University Apartheid Divest, has openly stated that it seeks “the total eradication...

From Ian: Israel's Most Conclusive Victory since 1949 Tenacity is the most important virtue of national leaders at war, which allows them to press on with no assurance of victory, fending off tremendous political pressures to fold. Winston Churchill displayed this quality in 1940, when Paris and Western Europe had fallen and Germany appeared unstoppable. As Israel fought...

04/16 Links Pt2: Josh Hammer: A renewed Jewish-Christian alliance for Western civilization; What the Oct. 7 Survivors Are Going Through

From Ian: JPost Editorial: Trump's plan provides needed solution to combat campus antisemitism It is worth recalling that the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was enforced not just with words, but with funding. Institutions that refused to desegregate lost access to federal support. Today’s crisis demands the same moral clarity. When Jewish students are being intimidated in classrooms...

From Ian: Arsonist Targeted Josh Shapiro's Home Over Governor's Support for Israel, Police Say The suspect in the Sunday arson attack on Pennsylvania governor Josh Shapiro's (D.) residence said he set fire to the home because Shapiro is Jewish and supports Israel, according to a newly unsealed warrant. According to the warrant, Cody Balmer, 38, targeted Shapiro's home on...

04/15 Links Pt2: Agam Berger: I Kept My Freedom in Hamas's Captivity; From Gaza to the Ivory Tower: The War on Israel; Trump freezes $2.2 bil in grants to Harvard

From Ian: Seth Mandel: Whose Freedom? The defenders of these institutions are merely demanding that Trump let them go back to the status quo of having academic freedom for some but not for others. If these groups would as emphatically demand the protection of Jewish academic freedom, we’d know they were sincere. As of now, there are zero such groups. Same goes for free speech...
