Oh, Jerusalem!, by Taxi
The Unz Review - May 19th 2021 7:17am EDT“Hands off Jerusalem and its people.” This is the first, foremost and non-negotiable condition that the Palestinian Resistance is demanding, in exchange for halting rocketry at Israel.

Does Wealth Protect Kids from Psychological Disorders?, by James Thompson
The Unz Review - May 18th 2021 8:39am EDTIf you select for some characteristic, and find that groups differ on other characteristics, it is natural to assume that the variable you selected might be causal.

Ignore Starmer’s Moral Posturing. He’s the One We Should Blame for Stoking Antisemitism, by Jonathan Cook
The Unz Review - May 17th 2021 11:17pm EDTNo one should be surprised that Britain’s rightwing prime minister, Boris Johnson, has had barely anything to say about Israel’s pummelling of Gaza, with nearly 200 Palestinians reported to have been killed by airstrikes and many hundreds more seriously wounded.

The Unz Review - May 17th 2021 12:22pm EDTArizona Democrats have refused to comply with court orders and have declared an audit “racist.” The criminal gang that masquerades as the US Dept of Justice has declared the election audit “voter intimidation” as the DOJ attempts to intimidate Republicans to cease the audit. Obviously, there was massive electoral fraud. If not, why the extraordinary… […]
Israel Bombs the Associated Press Offices in Gaza! Building Leveled! What Now, Media???, by Andrew Anglin
The Unz Review - May 16th 2021 10:02pm EDTThis could possibly be the funniest thing ever. The only reason that the AP has offices in Palestine is to shill for Israel.

AP: An Israeli… […]

The Yom Kippur Syndrome Revisited, by Gilad Atzmon
The Unz Review - May 15th 2021 9:49am EDTOne of the most interesting aspects of the Yom Kippur War (1973) was that it marked a sudden switch from Israeli manic ‘hubris’ to melancholia, apathy and depression.

Woke Insanity: Why Is There So Little Pushback?!, by The Saker
The Unz Review - May 13th 2021 8:47pm EDTThe Biden Administration has gone out of its way to show itself as absolutely “woke-compatible” and even as a champion of “wokeness” (Foggy Bottom has just allowed US embassies and consulates to fly the “gay pride” flag next to the Stars and Stripes.
