Israel eyes world coalition to force social media platforms to block incitement
Hey, Jews needed free speech protection when we were driving our way to the top of the heap, but now that we’ve arrived, who really needs free speech? Sounds dangerous. I’m not sure the goyim can be trusted with free … Continue reading
Us & Them: The Enduring Power of Ethnic Nationalism
By Jerry Z. Muller for Foreign Affairs, March 2008: PROJECTING THEIR own experience onto the rest of the world, Americans generally belittle the role of ethnic nationalism in politics. After all, in the United States people of varying ethnic origins … Continue reading

Steve Sailer writes: I wanted to go back to a Washington Post piece from last September 14th by veteran Washington Post columnist Richard Cohen, who more or less represents Washington centrism. I think it’s kind of revealing about some of … Continue reading

Putin to European Jews: Come to Mother Russia!
Jews are a formidable people, but Putin might be up to managing them in a way that’s most congruent with Russia’s interests. If Hitler had used Jews to further his ends, instead of exterminating them, he may well have gotten … Continue reading
Why The Jews?
I converted to Judaism because I believed that Jews carried the burden of God in history and I wanted to join that project. I converted in 1993 after several years of study. One of the books that most influenced me … Continue reading
What All The Harassment Stories In Astronomy Really Mean
Professor Ethan Siegel writes: What you’re seeing isn’t a series of scandals indicative of a problem in astronomy; you’re seeing the astronomy community standing up, for the first time, with a commitment to righting one of the most longstanding wrongs … Continue reading
