If you’ve been following the charade that is South Africa’s (SA’s) claim at the International Court of Justice that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza, you’ll know that SA—that paradigm of good governance and equity—is relying heavily on statements by Israeli officials and military people made right after October 7—statements to the effect that Gazans […]

Action Stations: The New Zealand Left has conflated the ten UN members condemning Houthi attacks on vessels transiting the Red Sea with the six states involved in the air and naval attacks on Houthi military targets. Veteran leftist Robert Reid, like most New Zealanders, knows full well that the RNZAF possesses no aircraft even remotely…

Breaking nooz, and from the Harvard Crimson. The revelations of plagiarism, and accusations of withholding/manipulating data, apparently rendered her ineffective as President. And her status as Harvard’s first black woman President didn’t save her. I heard rumors that she refused to resign, and had procured a lawyer and would sue, but those apparently weren’t true. […]

It’s likely that most or all of today’s posts will be about the antisemitism in America and the world, a form of hatred revealed and exacerbated by the war between Israel and Hamas. There are no other worthy items to post about, so if you’re tired of the war, or of discussions about Jews, just […]

Another writer for the New York Times, one who had accrued numerous accolades, resigned after having signed her second petition staking out a political position. As the NYT itself reported below, its Magazine writer Jazmine Hughes decided to resign from the paper after discussions with management. (She would have been fired had she not left.) […]

In Bill Maher’s monologue this week, he gets serious about the war, going back in history and showing how the ethnic constitution of countries change drastically over time, how colonization is pervasive, and how ethnic cleansing has affected the Jews more than any other people (see his enlightening chart at 2:25). Those who are pro-Palestinian […]

The campus climate of hate and divisiveness is not limited to MIT, Harvard, Princeton, or Columbia; it’s now metastasized to the University of Chicago. It’s largely promoted by the Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) and UChicago United for Palestine (UCUP), who are constantly demonstrating on campus and have had its members arrested for trespassing […]

The failure of Western “Liberals and Leftists” to hold the Arabs to the same moral and ethical standards as Israel is a “example of old colonialist and racist habits. They don’t see in the Arabs moral equals.” – Michael Walzer (1982) I think that most of the arguing and fighting over land and religion should […]

It’s hard to believe I know, but what other conclusion can be made based on what Green MP (and superstar) Chloe Swarbrick said the other day at the “Pro-Palestine” rally in Auckland: … after what we’ve witnessed, I want to say strongly, clearly and vehemently, the Green Party of Aotearoa New Zealand stands for a […]

A very interesting development reported today by Barak Ravid of Axios (in a Twitter thread) shows some further evolution of the relationship between Israel’s security cabinet (an inner team of ministers with grounding in law) and the “war cabinet” that was set up as part of the process of bringing some (former) opposition parties into […]

An interesting post by one “Diogenes” on the recent ceasefire in Gaza that occurred for about a week until Hamas made a terrorist attack inside Israel, Was the Ceasefire Worth It? The question is worth asking because there was much criticism of both Israel and the USA over allowing this ceasefire to occur; the primary […]

Given his (qualified) support for Israel in their cage fight against Hamas I had wondered over the last few weeks if Chris was feeling the pressure from the New Left who hate Israel and have grown to outnumber he and his kind here in New Zealand over the last couple of decades. I noticed that […]

“We do not believe any group of men adequate enough or wise enough to operate without scrutiny or without criticism. We know that the only way to avoid error is to detect it, that the only way to detect it is to be free to inquire. We know that in secrecy error undetected will flourish and subvert”. - J Robert Oppenheimer.
