Dave Seminara in The Spectator outlines Maryland’s deceptively named Youth Accountability and Safety Act, a state bill that would prevent prosecutors from charging anyone under age 25 with first-degree murder. This is the very demographic most prone to committing murder, Seminara notes – so if passed the draft bill is likely to increase the number of homicides.

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.
