2023-11-20T11:15:35-05:00November 19, 2023|

In the Hamas-built hellscapes of Gaza, there is little doubt that Israel will ultimately win the shooting war. But a harder question is, can Israel also win the peace? That is, can Israel not only defeat Hamas, but also permanently end the recurrence of Gazan terror? The answer [...]

NURTURE, NOT NATURE: WOKEISM AND THE ANTHROPOLOGICAL ORIGINS OF GENDER BENDING

2023-09-26T11:59:15-05:00October 2, 2023|

American cultural anthropology has a lot to answer for.

OUR ETERNAL BATTLE FOR ZION

2023-07-26T12:50:25-05:00July 26, 2023|

I’m a Jew, a feminist, an author, and an academic. I believe in universal human rights. I am not a multi-cultural relativist. I do not respect the postcolonial academy, which brought about the palestinianization of intellectual reality, and which projected Islam’s apartheid practices onto Israel. I oppose the [...]

PALESTINIAN ANNIHILATIONIST IDEOLOGY IS THE TRUE OBSTACLE TO PEACE
