Hebrew, Yiddish, antisemitism and the New York Times

The New York Times has an op-ed by Ilan Stavans about the resilience of Yiddish, supposedly by an expert in the field. It includes some antisemitic tropes, oversimplifications, self-contradictions, outright falsehoods and ultimately reflects anti-Zionist politics more than it represents the state of Yiddish today.For a language without a physical address that has come frighteningly...

Antisemites rooting for a Jewish civil war. (Then again, anyone rooting for a civil war is pretty much an antisemite.)

Palestinian news site Amad as well as other sites have an opinion piece by Jordanian Ibrahim Abu Atila that asks Arabs to stop being coy and admit that their enemy is Jews, not "Zionists."Those of us who speak simply and who do not know theorizing and embellishment of speech and those who are not affected by what the media promotes say that those who are hostile to us are...

AlQuds (UK) calls for a third intifada, led by children, to save face

An op-ed in Al Quds, a UK-based news site for Palestinians, says, "The uprising this time must start from a clear political vision of how to coexist in peace and avoid internal strife, as the region is full of boiling factors, and there is enough misery and suffering because of them. With all that is happening, there is nothing left for the Arabs, except for a little...

Academic freedom? Harvard Crimson op-ed calls to reject Israelis from positions at the university

An op-ed at the Harvard Crimson attempts to turn the Ken Roth episode into an excuse to block Israelis from teaching there.Because of academic freedom, of course.Josh Wilcox, organizer for Harvard College Palestine Solidarity Committee, writes:It seems a couple points were absent from Dean Elmendorf’s announcement. At no point did he address the elephant in the room:...
