Scheduled Jewish authors’ events have been canceled and many venues would not invite them to present. Agents are turning down manuscripts by Jewish writers or are firing Jewish clients whose work they had agreed to represent. These gate-keepers of the publishing world know that acquisition editors will not buy them. [Talia Carner]

The world today denies the atrocities done by Hamas, including murder and rape. Hamas has a great propaganda machine not unlike that of Nazi Germany. The world wants us to believe that the Israelis are the monsters, even though they are defending themselves. The United Nations is no friend to Israel and spreads lies to the world.

This has long been our way. The Jewish way. When Jewish doctors weren’t allowed into hospitals, we built our own.

The silencing of his Jewishness has characterized his entire tenure as president. Mentioning his Jewishness became taboo. Benjamin Disraeli, a baptized Jew, was Prime Minister of Great Britain and openly discussed Jewish issues and wrote novels with Jewish characters. Léon Blum was Prime Minister of France and spoke freely about his Jewishness. Bruno Kraisky was Chancellor of Austria and made no secret of his Jewishness. Walter Rathenau was Foreign Minister of Germany and spoke proudly of his Jewish ancestry. None of them were ashamed of their Jewishness as Zelensky was. [Alex Gordon]

Why didn’t I become a socialist? Soviet socialism destroyed my family and I could not love it. But it turned out that I disliked socialism for the same reason I did not become a musician: my aunt’s piano also left Kiev. Instead of using my absolute musical ear for music, I had to use it to listen to the atonal music of wailing, to the unmelodic moans and gloomy chords of the lamentations of the Soviet Jews.

Published by The Western Journal The strange thing about the Israel-Hamas conflict is that the people shouting the loudest for peace are the ones who are causing the violence.
