The U.S. House of Representatives recently demanded social media platform TikTok divest itself of its Chinese ownership. But the danger goes far beyond China’s antagonism towards the United States, writes Cole S. Aronson in the Jewish Review of Books. TikTok is actually a tool of malign “political influence” in numerous global conflicts, including the Israel-Hamas war.

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.
