In Tablet Mag, Alvin H. Rosenfeld reminds readers of the brutality of Hamas’s assault on Israelis last October 7. Much more than a single act of war, Rosenfeld situates the attack in the broader Arab-Israeli conflict. He suggests it reinvigorated anti-Semitism globally and is advancing an “annihilationist fantasy” that he likens to another Auschwitz.

Palestinian Culture: Unique in its Own Destructive Way
Although the Palestinian Authority enjoys an array of cultural departments and programs, A.J. Caschetta in Jewish World Review finds that all of it – art, education, literature, poetry, music, education and film – is oriented to two goals: the vilification of Jews and the destruction of Israel. Caschetta notes this is in sharp contrast to Arab and Muslim traditions, which include myriad aesthetically normal cultural works. Palestinianism, Caschetta finds, is “a very sick culture”, driven by resentment and fuelled by hate.
