And the Jews who unthinkingly offer this hand-wringing apology are implying that if Jewry […]

That choice is one individuals are weighing, and on a macro scale, it now runs through the United Nations, through the rhetoric of reform and revolution, and through a relentless fixation on one small country—Israel—which has been made the moral test case for the survival of a rules-based order. An Ancient Conflict, Restated In 1944 as World War II raged, Reinhold Niebuhr described the permanent struggle of politics in The […]
