Why should Republicans follow the rules when the other team flouts them? But it’s a trap. When you excuse any incompetence by saying The other guys were worse!, you begin to reward chaos and performative showboating. commentary.org/articles/james…


It may be true that our foundational narrative depicts us as a flawed people, which means we are like all others. But our foundational philosophy and morals tell us that “all human beings are created in God’s image.” commentary.org/articles/reade…


Eurovision is, of course, hard to parody. The big difference between real Eurovision and, say, the Will Ferrell movie Eurovision is that the real one also involves people chasing Jews in the street. The parodies always miss that detail. commentary.org/seth-mandel/th…


Ronald Reagan received a far higher share of the Jewish vote than a Republican would have expected. But more important, Carter’s reputation for capitulating to America’s enemies and stinging America’s allies extended far beyond the Middle East. commentary.org/seth-mandel/bi…


So if those who stand against the “incidents” of October 7 aren’t the protesters to worry about, the process of elimination gives us the answer: people whose activism is inspired by the events of October 7. commentary.org/seth-mandel/th…


"If you are an aspiring president of the United States . . . when you keep asking the Israelis to make compromises and to weaken themselves . . . you're not going to get peace." Watch the full episode: youtube.com/watch?v=e_xuwA…


“A wish for friendship may arise quickly,” wrote Aristotle, “but friendship does not.” commentary.org/articles/josep…


"There comes a point at which the assertion that we need to reestablish the norms has some kind of a past sell-by date." Watch & subscribe to the Commentary Magazine Podcast: youtube.com/watch?v=wKBKRi…


All this attests to the likelihood that Erin Foster is offering up a caricatured version of her own in-laws, the Tikhmans, who came to the United States in 1980 and settled in San Francisco. commentary.org/articles/john-…


Morally, advocating the release of the hostages is the only truly easy call in this whole war no matter what side of the aisle you come from or what your political prior biases were. commentary.org/seth-mandel/th…


The Jews have reconstituted their state on the same land where they have done so for thousands of years. There’s no place for the Land of Israel to go. So it either survives or is destroyed. @SethAMandel commentary.org/seth-mandel/wi…


LISTEN: Zionism has been an open question since 1948, when even Hannah Arendt opposed the creation of a Jewish state in the pages of COMMENTARY. We explain why she was wrong then, is wrong now, and the importance of Israel’s survival. Give a listen. commentary.org/john-podhoretz…

The antisemitic horseshoe is a dangerous one. And it's only getting more powerful, as I argued over at @Commentary. commentary.org/articles/mike-…


Tim Kaine was agog. “The notion that rights don’t come from laws and don’t come from the government, but come from the Creator—that’s what the Iranian government believes,” Kaine pronounced, in a jaw-dropping expression of senatorial stupidity. commentary.org/articles/matth…


Those defending Israel routinely get accused of being paid to do so. Israel, according to this theory, either buys or threatens its way to media hegemony in the U.S. It’s all part of the epic “hasbara” machine, you see. commentary.org/seth-mandel/th…


"Notably,” Magid writes, “the proposal suggests that the mission could be deployed before an end to the war in Gaza, but it specifies that securing a ceasefire agreement ahead of time is ‘most preferable.’” commentary.org/seth-mandel/th…


Once again Israelis’ resilience and recovery will pave a path for the rest of the world, all because of the unique hatred to which they are subjected. @SethAMandel commentary.org/seth-mandel/to…


An Israeli victory is crucial for the free world. In its monstrous acts on October 7, Hamas had either established a cautionary tale or a new model of strategic disruption. @SethAMandel commentary.org/seth-mandel/fi…


LISTEN: @JSchanzer joins us to talk about the terms of the deal that will bring the Israeli hostages home while ensuring Israel retains military options and territory in Gaza. How did it happen? What happens next? commentary.org/john-podhoretz…
