The Bund is fascinating but this review like Bund itself is a triumph of wish over reality. Bundists who werent killed by Hitler were shot by Stalin inc Alter Erlich Feffer Markish Bergelson many in the Night of Murdered Poets 1952. A dangerous world. Yet oddly the review just says: ‘Bund ceased operating in 1949.’

Jews in the diaspora who want to celebrate their heritage without tying themselves to Israel might look to the Bundist concept of “hereness”, which a new book by Molly Crabapple celebrates economist.com/culture/2026/0…

Dear @theeconomist, Actual Jewish history PhD here. 1. Crabapple is an ignorant dilettante whose book is an insult to real historians who labor to publish legitimate scholarship. 2. The Bundists were all murdered. Ps. As for what Jews should or should not do: piss off. Thank your for your attention to this matter.

But Ihab, this is literally Hamas's view of the war. They genuinely believe that Gaza -- indeed, the entire Palestinian future -- is a worthy sacrifice to lay on the altar of the larger cause of Islamic restoration. Hamas are tyrants; none of this is about freedom. This is muqawama. And it's the dominant political lens for talking about Israel among a great many Muslim elites. It's the thing everyone pretends not to see, but that Israelis will never again unsee. It's a doctrine that needs war to survive, like Nazism before it. A martyrdom cult that looms immense to Israelis and explains why they think they're right even when the whole world tells them they're wrong. It is why Hezbollah will yet drag Lebanon into the abyss while pretending to "defend" it. It is why Iran is a gutted, broken nation with the nominal GDP per capita of Haiti despite sitting on some of the world's biggest energy reserves. All must be sacrificed on the altar of muqawama. And this ideology will only go away when it is soundly and decisively defeated. Only then will there be a chance for the kind of rebuilding and future that people like you and me want for Palestinians.
Ihab Hassan@IhabHassane

DISGUSTING: Dr. Nawaf Al-Takrouri, head of the Palestinian Scholars Abroad Association: "I don't think a reasonable Muslim can see the fantastic gains all over the world, and still say negative things about [Oct 7th] Al-Aqsa Flood" and that Gaza's destruction is "a natural price for the liberation of Al-Aqsa" — one that "may require 1 million martyrs across the Muslim world." These disgusting people do not see the blood of our children in Gaza as anything more than a tool for their fantasy of so-called liberation. This is a death cult. 70,000 dead is not enough for them. 150,000 is not enough. They want millions of deaths — and they speak about Gaza's destruction and the killing of our people with excitement. Absolutely vile.

In Toronto, a young Jewish girl named Esther has been missing for over a week. To make matters worse, people have been ripping down posters about her disappearance, just like they did with the hostage posters after 10/7—one of the more appalling things I've ever seen in my life.

Ah. In 2002, Nicholas Kristof at the New York Times was "early and loud" in falsely accusing Steven Hatfill of being behind the anthrax attack. "Without identifying his sources", Kristof circulated the idea Hatfill was a "genocidal racist". theatlantic.com/magazine/archi…

The Committee to Protect Journalists has in recent weeks removed six "journalists" it listed as having been killed by Israel in Gaza because it turned out they were jihadist terrorists, the disclosure made by the groups themselves in "martyrdom" notices. freebeacon.com/media/new-blow…

בסוף השאלה היא האם המערב מסוגל בעת הזאת לשלם מחיר כדי להאבק ברשע. האם, אחרי שהתברר שלא קל כל כך להפיל את המשטר באיראן, אנחנו דואגים קודם כל לבורסות ולמיד-טרמס, או מוכנים לתת ולהקריב את מה שצריך - וצריך הרבה פחות מאשר היה נדרש כדי לנצח את הנאצים - כדי לוודא שלאיראן לא תהיה אופציה גרעינית והיכולת שלה להקרין כוח במרחב צוצמה באופן ממשי. אם ההסכם הסופי לא ידאג לאלה, הכישלון האסטרטגי הברור רק ישקף בעיה תרבותית וחברתית עמוקה ומדאיגה.

EXCLUSIVE: Australia’s top spy agency’s assessment of the alleged Bondi attackers in 2019 demanded travel alerts be placed on them and their file revisited if they associated with extremists - but in a catastrophic failure, the men were able to move freely through known terror hotspots. An investigation has uncovered a series of failures that meant the Akrams slipped through the cracks of law enforcement and security agencies prior to the Bondi terror attack on December 14, 2025. In a critical lapse, the Australian Federal Police and Border Force, which sits within Home Affairs, were aware of Naveed and Sajid Akram’s travel to known terror hotspots but did not pass the intelligence onto ASIO or NSW Police, which issued the gun licenses.  It can be revealed that the Akrams travelled to Uzbekistan - a known gateway to terror hotspot Afghanistan - in late 2022 or early 2023. The investigation, conducted for the upcoming book Bondi Terror, also discovered that ASIO’s travel alert was only placed on the Akrams' first port of call, rather than their final destination. This is a matter that is likely to come under scrutiny by the Royal Commission this week. Full story here: skynews.com.au/australia-news…

Wilhelm Marr, the father of modern antisemitism who coined the term “anti-Semitism” likewise warned about the Judaization of Germany in his 1879 pamphlet, “The Victory of Judaism over Germandom.” Remarkable pattern. Almost to a T.

The Committee to Protect Journalists, the organization that Nicholas Kristof used as a major source for his "dog rape" story, has been caught silently removing the names of people from their list of journalists killed in Gaza. Because those "journalists" turned out to be less interested in reporting the news and more interested in killing Jews. Instead of acknowledging that they mistakenly put the names of terrorists on their journalist list, they silently deleted them instead. Because acknowledging they made a mistake would be giving Israel a little bit of credit, and they'd rather do anything than that.

Read Milan Kundera's 1984 essay "the kidnapped West" again, and I had forgotten that he specifically used Ukraine as an example of a victim of russification under the Soviet Union, and laments what he called the possible disappearance of a great European culture.

He would approve. Solzhenitsyn was a Russian neo-imperialist. The reason he became the most well known anti-communist dissident, is because he was the most right wing among them. Rightwing Americans put a lot of effort into promoting him, over liberal or leftwing dissidents.
Dubai Poop Truck.@Trianonwasbad

@The_Davos_Man I wonder what Solzhenitsyn would think of the Russian annexation of Crimea and invasion of Ukraine?

BOMBSHELL: EuroMed chief Ramy Abdu's brother is wanted by Italian authorities for his role in a massive Hamas fundraising operation. The best part? Ramy himself is named in the court filing for some highly suspect reasons, as I'm about to show you. Let's dive in, shall we? 🧵

You have got to be fucking kidding me. At least it answers the motive question: Kristof has actual animus towards Israel; he's not just gullible and incompetent. So sleazy: "This hasn't been confirmed", as he spreads a self-evidently fabricated accusation.

#Australia: all charges were dropped against a 14-year-old girl who carried out a premeditated ramming attack against Jews and several other acts of antisemitic violence. She was deemed not of age to know this was wrong. The law says she knew at 12. heraldsun.com.au/truecrimeaustr…

Why would a columnist in America's biggest newspaper spread a rumor before he confirms it? Does he still not see how journalistically failing, if not ethically compromised, his work has become?

Kristof's framing, drawing an equivalence between the IRGC/HAMAS mass-rape on 7 October and mistreatment of Palestinian prisoners by Israel, was the most disgusting aspect because it was false *even if everything he wrote was true*. It is worse that he knew this was a lie.
Jacob Ben-David Linker 🇺🇸🕎🇺🇸✡️🇺🇸🕎🇺🇸@JacobALinker

@NickKristof Kristofnacht 5/11/26: "The horrific abuse inflicted on Israeli women on [10/7] now happens to Palestinians DAY AFTER DAY" Now he says he was "clear about what [he] knew and didn't know" & "It's impossible to know how common sexual assaults against Palestinians are"
