Defund the Police and Prisons

Law and Liberty
August 8, 2022

John O. McGinnis in Law and Liberty evaluates the “Defund the Police” movement’s equally destructive and fanciful younger sibling now taking hold in legal academia: abolishing prisons. McGinnis urges caution as the left-leaning academic establishment propounds short-sighted ideas that may leak out into the activist world.

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.

A Man Who’d Do Anything to Evade the Truth

Spiked’s Matt Ridley details Anthony Fauci’s “public-sector version of insider trading.” Subpoenaed by the U.S. Senate to “discuss” the origin of Covid-19, the longest-serving and highest-paid U.S. bureaucrat instead invoked the Fifth Amendment (protecting against self-incrimination) some 111 times. Strange; he’d been pardoned by President Joe Biden. Nevertheless, it’s clear Fauci lied to the American people about nearly everything – starting with Covid’s true origins in the Wuhan lab. Further, his bizarre diary (saved to a government computer) details his “nauseating narcissism and gobsmacking greed,” says Ridley, and shows he cared more about his own fame than about ailing Americans.

The Enemy Within

The invasion of Spain’s Ceuta enclave by 60,000 “mostly young military-age men” from Morocco is a dire warning for America, warns The Federalist’s John Daniel Davidson. Comparing this instance of “hybrid warfare” to the open-borders policy of the Biden Administration, Davidson finds the latter even worse. Unlike the Moroccan regime, which may simply want more land, the U.S. Democrats in welcoming 12 million illegal immigrants were operating “on behalf of the Global South” and “effectively launched a foreign invasion…to wrest control of the country from its native inhabitants.”

Speaking Power to Truth

Benjamin Kerstein, writing for Jewish News Syndicate, notes how many anti-Semites “see themselves as hapless victims of Jew[ish] oppression.” Not since Hitler, who blamed them for all Germany’s problems, have we seen such rampantly self-sympathizing Jew-hatred. These “weeping antisemites,” Kerstein notes, have no time to discuss events in Jewish history – the centuries of persecution, the need for a sovereign homeland for protection – but plenty to brag how compassionate and kind they themselves are. Kerstein ain’t buying it.
