Macron’s explosive home front in the Gaza war
PARIS — In the days after Hamas struck Israel, French President Emmanuel Macron made a national address vowing his “unreserved solidarity” with Israel.
A month later, he swerved to redress the balance, organizing a conference to support Gaza, joining calls for a cease-fire. In the days and months following Israel’s ground operation and airstrikes, Macron has amped up his support for Gaza, organizing aid airdrops with Jordan and even dispatching a helicopter carrier turned hospital ship to treat a trickle … Read more

While real antisemitism is rearing its head, the assurance that “anti-Zionism is not inherently antisemitic” can feel like gaslighting.
They hit me in the face, those posters: the ones headed with the big red upper-case legend kidnapped above a portrait photo accompanied by the person’s name and some basic information, and then at
The Moral Triangle: Palestine, Israel, and Germany
“Germany is repaying its post-Holocaust debts to Israel— but not to the Palestinians,” the conductor Daniel Barenboim wrote in 2017. “Europe, whose anti-Semitism led to the Holocaust, also has moral and historical obligations towards the Palestinians, who still suffer its consequences.” Sa’ed Atshan and Katharina Galor’s The Moral Triangle (2020) looks at the relationship between all three communities in Berlin—which is home to the largest Israeli and Palestinian diasporas in Europe. The book “shines in its impressionistic and fast-paced reportage … Read more

Lisa Hochstein’s aunt was antisemitic to Lenny
Lenny Hochstein threw his estranged wife Lisa Hochstein’s aunt out of his house because she hurled antisemitic remarks at him, the plastic surgeon’s girlfriend claims.
“Lisa’s aunt resorted to foul, offensive and derogatory language, including making antisemitic comments about my boyfriend and his mother’s background in front of the children, leading to her removal from the premises following necessary intervention,” Katharina Mazepa tells Page Six exclusively after she and Lenny called the police on Lisa’s elderly aunt and nearly 80-year-old

Conservative Jews Made a Terrible Bargain With Trump and the Right Over Israel
A cozy dinner at Mar-a-Largo between Donald Trump, and two Hitler admirers, Ye (formerly Kanye West) and Nick Fuentes, coupled with the massive increase of anti-Semitic tweets in recent weeks, (driven in part by Elon Musk’s invitations to formerly banned neo-Nazis like Andrew Anglin to rejoin the site), have sent anti-Semitism back onto America’s front pages. Many American Jews are understandably in a panic over
The Dispiriting Saga of Kyrie Irving and the Brooklyn Nets
Kyrie Irving last spoke to the press a week ago. He was wearing a black baseball cap, which had the words “Journey” and “Reward” stitched on the front; “Reward” was written upside down. The week before, on October 28th, Rolling Stone had published an article describing the contents of a movie, “Hebrews to Negroes: Wake Up Black America,” that Irving had posted a link to on Twitter. The rough thesis of the movie is that Black people are the real
My Great-Uncle, The Holocaust’s First Jewish Victim
Here is the foundational narrative on which I was raised: In March 1933, my great-uncle Arthur Kahn walked out of his apartment in Würzburg, Germany, for what was supposed to be a short Easter-break trip to see relatives. He was 21, training to be a doctor. He didn’t know it, but his name had been placed on a list of students suspected of Communist ties. He had none, but he was arrested in Nuremberg. A few weeks later, he was
