A day after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine on February 24, the Russian ambassador to Israel, Anatoly Viktorov, issued several comments on Israel’s policy vis-a-vis the current crisis. “We took note of Israel’s position,” he told the Times of Israel in an interview. “Our Israeli colleagues have repeatedly spoken about their concern for the safety of […]
Regrettably, Russian President Vladimir Putin and his corps of diplomats around the world have explicitly raised the issue of neo-Nazism and implicitly invoked the Holocaust to justify Russia’s nation-wide invasion of Ukraine. In explaining his reasoning for invading Ukraine — a sovereign country which attained independence from the Soviet Union in 1991 — Putin said […]
Russian President Vladimir Putin has willfully upended the international order that has been in place since the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991. With Russia’s land, sea and air invasion of Ukraine, Putin has smashed the political status quo and redrawn the map of eastern Europe, Russia’s former sphere of influence, in a bold, […]
Police in riot gear are belatedly clearing the streets of Ottawa of Freedom Convoy protesters who have grossly abused their democratic right to stage peaceful demonstrations. The police are proceeding with extraordinary caution and deliberation despite the protestors’ stubborn refusal to comply with the law and disperse peacefully. Incredibly enough, several have assaulted policemen and even […]
Ron DeSantis, the Republican governor of Florida, has been touted as a possible candidate for his party’s 2024 presidential nomination. Judging by a recent incident in the sunshine state, he should definitely be removed from the list of contenders. The reason is clear. On January 29 and 30, 15 to 20 neo-Nazis gathered on a […]
I cringed after reading Whoopi Goldberg’s recent remarks about the Holocaust, but I also felt sorry and embarrassed for her. Appearing on the ABC talk show The View on January 31, the American actress and comedian claimed the Holocaust was about “man’s inhumanity to man” and “not about race.” Goldberg made these utterly inane observations […]
The Freedom Convoy — a motley coalition of disaffected truckers, hardcore conservatives and neo-Nazi malcontents vying for headlines on these freezing days in January — is a misguided exercise in futility. Hordes of truck drivers from Alberta and points westward have descended on Parliament Hill in Ottawa in the past few days to protest a […]
The U.S. bookstore chain Barnes & Noble recently removed The Protocols of the Elders of Zion — a noxious antisemitic tract fabricated by czarist Russia — from its online site following a flood of complaints. The book, an outright forgery describing a diabolical plan by a Jewish cabal to take over the world, was designed to […]
A fairly significant event took place in Cairo on January 24, when close to 50 people attended a ceremony commemorating International Holocaust Remembrance Day, which is being observed today to commemorate the Red Army’s liberation of the Auschwitz-Birkenau extermination camp in Poland. The gathering, the first of its kind in Egypt, was held at a […]
On January 5, an American high-tech entrepreneur named Dave Bateman sent an inflammatory e-mail to 50 friends and acquaintances during which he blasted coronavirus vaccines. An anti-vaxxer, Bateman acknowledged that his message “sounds bonkers.” Little did he realize how crazy and deranged it really was. The pathologically twisted missive would cost him his job. In his […]
