Anti-Zionism Is Deadlier Than Antisemitism

Some say that anti-Zionism isn’t tantamount to antisemitism. If so, it’s worse. Antisemitism always stings, but in the West today, it usually doesn’t wound. The same can’t be said of anti-Zionism.Antisemitism in America has consisted mostly of small things: exclusion from country clubs, restrictive covenants on housing, quotas in college admissions, casual slights and insults. Since World War II, the same has been true, if a little worse, in the rest of the West. America and Europe have seen horrible moments of violence, such as at the Tree of Life synagogue in 2018 or the Toulouse shootings in France in 2012, as well as instances of intimidation, vandalism and assault. But these have mostly been isolated incidents.Copyright ©2023 Dow Jones & Company, Inc. All Rights Reserved. 87990cb...

How Jews Escaped Their Dismal Fate

Throughout history Jews have suffered mass murder on a regular basis. It began with the expulsion from Judea (which the Romans renamed Syria Palestina) after the Bar Kokhba rebellion in the year 135. Crusaders killed thousands in the Rhineland massacres of 1096. During the Black Death of 1346-53, Jews were blamed for the plague and murdered. Many more were tortured to death and burned during the Spanish Inquisition. In 1648-49, Bogdan Chmielnicki and his Cossacks slaughtered tens of thousands of Jews in Ukraine. The same thing occurred during the Russian pogroms. In Kishinev, 49 Jews were savagely annihilated in 1903, and more were killed in 1905. Arab riots in Hebron and other places in 1929 resulted in 133 Jews killed. Two millennia of murders reached the unthinkable with the Nazi Einsa...

There’s Life Yet in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights

The United Nations General Assembly approved the Universal Declaration of Human Rights on Dec. 10, 1948, without a single dissenting vote (although Saudi Arabia, South Africa and the Soviet bloc countries abstained). Today that remarkable consensus, achieved in the wake of two world wars and unspeakable atrocities, is falling apart. Hope for global consensus on anything seems remote. But is it really the case that consensus on the relatively small set of fundamental principles in the Universal Declaration can’t be reinvigorated? The history of the declaration suggests three reasons why the effort is worthwhile. And a promising development, as yet little noticed in the West, indicates there may be a fourth.

Title IX and the Assault on Hillsdale College

Hillsdale, Mich.Embedded in a civil lawsuit against Hillsdale College is an assault on the fabric of this small, private Christian school founded in 1844. The lawsuit, brought by two undergraduate women who allege that they were raped two years ago by male Hillsdale students of their acquaintance, alleges not only that the college was negligent in handling their complaints, but also that it failed to afford them the protection to which they were entitled under Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972.

Hamas Holds Everyone Hostage – WSJ

The civilized world is rejoicing at the release of hostages by Hamas, especially the sight of young children reunited with parents after seven weeks of hell. But that relief shouldn’t blind us to the way the jihadists are manipulating human sentiment to achieve their terrorist aims. The killers are releasing a dozen or so hostages each day in return for three times the number of Palestinians released by Israel. Hamas snatched innocent Israelis and others in a deliberate act of terror. The released Palestinians were arrested or convicted of crimes under the law. Copyright ©2023 Dow Jones & Company, Inc.
