The Real Reason Iran Hates Israel

The Gaza War has led to another debate about what motivates Iran’s ruling elite. Washington has proffered primarily one realist theme: The mullahs wanted to disrupt the diplomacy aimed at Israeli-Saudi normalization, so they helped Hamas unleash a war to awaken the Arab street. Confronted with popular anger, the Arab potentates, they thought, would retreat.But this ignores a fundamental motivation of Iran’s theocracy: anti-Semitism. At least three generations of radical Iranian clerics have viewed Israel as illegitimate, usurping sacred Islamic lands in the name of a pernicious ideology advanced by history’s most devilish and stubborn people. Using the language of French Marxism, they call Israel a Western “colonial-settler state,” and they believe Jews guide American imperialism in the M...

Hamas’s Barbarity Heightens the Crisis in Higher Education

The barbaric attack by Hamas against Israel—the intentional slaughter of defenseless civilians, including children and babies, and the taking of hostages—should have been a unifying moment for America. Shamefully, it has become something else: a wake-up call about a crisis in higher education.It has been painful to watch students at elite colleges implicitly or explicitly endorse Hamas’s attack. They aren’t old enough to remember 9/11, and it’s clear they never learned its lesson: Intentionally targeting civilians for slaughter is inexcusable no matter the political circumstances.

Hamas Attack Reminds Europeans of the Virtue of Sovereignty

Europe has discovered that it has an anti-Semitism crisis on its hands. And now some politicians claim to have found the answer: Deport the anti-Semites. It’s a response as illuminating as it is futile.The shock to Europe has been the “pro-Palestinian” protests on the streets in the weeks since Hamas’s barbaric invasion of Israel. Too often these degenerate into, if they don’t start out as, festivals of anti-Semitism and sympathy for Hamas. Germany and France have led the charge in attempting to ban such gatherings, with mixed success. In the U.K., the refusal of the authorities to do so has become deeply controversial.

Why Stanford’s Leaders Tolerate Anti-Semitism

After Hamas massacred some 1,400 Israelis on Oct. 7, many Stanford students marched in support of the terrorist group, chanting “2, 4, 6, 8, smash the Zionist settler state.” University leaders responded with a statement supporting “academic freedom,” including the “expression of controversial and even offensive views.”This is the same university where administrators last year undertook an Elimination of Harmful Language Initiative, which published a catalog of words and phrases to be removed from the school’s websites. Among the proscribed terms: “American,” “immigrant” and “blind study.”Copyright ©2023 Dow Jones & Company, Inc. All Rights Reserved. 87990cbe856818d5eddac44c7b1cdeb8

On Anti-Semitism, Labour Is a Cautionary Tale for Democrats

Keir Starmer is trying to do the right thing on Israel, he really is. Whether the leader of Britain’s center-left Labour Party will succeed is another matter, and a question of significance for U.S. Democrats.In the weeks since Hamas’s Oct. 7 invasion of Israel, Mr. Starmer has emerged as a supporter of the Jewish state’s right to self-defense, by European standards anyway. This includes an Oct. 11 radio interview during which he said Israel “does have that right” to blockade Gaza. In a speech Tuesday, despite hemming and hawing about the dangers to Gazan civilians, he added that he wouldn’t support a cease-fire, as it would leave Hamas free to carry out future attacks.Copyright ©2023 Dow Jones & Company, Inc.
