Our Changing Electorate Changes Elections
“I know of no way of judging the future but by the past,” Patrick Henry asserted in advocating independence from a consistently oppressive Great Britain. But when it comes to elections, the more the present electorate diverges from past electorates, the less reliable past election results may be as a guide. With that in mind, consider how today’s public differs from that of the not-too-distant past and from the intentions and expectations of America’s Founders.
They’re teaching everything about 9/11 except who did it and why
“Some people did something.” That was Rep. Ilan Omar’s (D-MN) description of what happened on Sept. 11, 2001, in New York, at the Pentagon, and in western Pennsylvania. The approach taken by one of America’s biggest public school systems is similar. Ahead of the 25th anniversary of the terrorist murders of nearly 3,000 people on 9/11, Fairfax County Public Schools in northern Virginia cautioned teachers to avoid propagating hate by discussing the Islamist motivation of the airliner hijackers.
By Eric Rozenman Earlier this month, the United Kingdom, France, Canada, Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Ireland, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Spain, and Sweden instructed Israel how to live, or rather die slowly. Their amnesia was convenient. They announced new trade restrictions on the Jewish state over expanding Israeli settlements on the West Bank.
A dirty dozen lectures Israel: Why rewarding terrorism won’t bring peace
Earlier this month, the United Kingdom, France, Canada, Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Ireland, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Spain, and Sweden instructed Israel how to live, or rather die slowly. Their amnesia was convenient. They announced new trade restrictions on the Jewish state over expanding Israeli settlements on the West Bank. According to London, Paris, and Ottawa’s misinformation, the settlements — Jewish villages and towns — are illegal, and Israeli control of the territory is an occupation.
The Muslim Brotherhood at a school near you
France’s interior ministry reported last year how Islamic supremacists, specifically the Muslim Brotherhood, use “entryism” to infiltrate and subvert the country’s democratic institutions. This spring, the French Senate adopted legislation seeking stronger authority to detect and prevent entryism, which confiscates the vocabulary of civil rights and leverages Western protections of minority equality to make societies more Islamic.
Two mayors, one hatred Original
(July 2, 2026 / JNS) Karl Lueger, mayor of Vienna from 1897 to 1910, used antisemitism to win popularity, making detestation of Jews a key plank of Austria’s Christian Social Party. Adolf Hitler lived in Lueger’s Vienna and would praise him in Mein Kampf, although, for the most part, the mayor did not back up his anti-Jewish rhetoric with policies.
Lies Mamdani’s anti-Israel mob tells
By Eric Rozenman Several hundred people rioted in early May outside Manhattan’s Park East Synagogue. Led by a group called Pal Awda NY/NJ, it harassed those attending the Greater Israeli Real Estate Event, which promoted land sales in Israel and the West Bank (Judea and Samaria). Pal Awda is the New York and New Jersey affiliate of Al Awda, the Palestinian Right to Return Coalition, which itself is linked to Samidoun, designated a terrorist organization by the U.S. government.

April was the cruelest month, certainly for Jewish Americans
By Eric Rozenman About 20 longtime pro-Israel activists gathered last month for a dinner meeting in suburban Washington, D.C. A veteran Democratic congressman was our guest speaker. Though his district contains comparatively few Jews and not Jewish himself, he has been for decades a staunch supporter of close U.S.-Israel ties, backed the Soviet Jewry movement and promoted other issues dear to most Jewish voters. The representative expressed qualified optimism about November’s midterm elections.

Think Virginia Democrats will let go of power? You’re fooling yourself
VIRGINIA DEMOCRATS TURN THEMSELVES INTO PRETZELS TO ‘STOP DONALD TRUMP’ WITH GERRYMANDER Chutzpah, for those whose Yiddish needs refreshing, means unmitigated gall. It is often illustrated by the man accused of murdering his parents, who throws himself on the mercy of the court because he is now an orphan. Comedian Obama, echoed by Spanberger, pops up incessantly on television and in mailboxes in the Old Dominion.

She Gave Him the Beating He Deserved
By Eric Rozenman (March 2026) Two Rabbits, Pampas Grass, and Full Moon (Utagawa Hiroshige, 1849-51) “I was the only girl in my school to beat up a boy,” Sandy Sugarman was saying. “Even if he was a cripple. Today, of course, we would say disabled, or, maybe ‘differently abled.’ But he deserved it.” She paused, ran her fingers through elegantly coiffed brown hair—“Ravishing Chestnut, by Revlon,” she had confided the previous time we lunched together, a year earlier. “Boy, did he deserve it.
Don’t fall for ‘Islamophobia’ legislation
By Eric Rozenman The good news: With its session ending March 14, Virginia’s legislature did not pass State Sen. Saddam Salim’s (D-Fairfax) bill (S.B. 624) to make “Islamophobia” a crime. The bad news: instead of defeating this measure — unnecessary at best, dangerous at worst — legislators carried it over to 2027.

Goodbye and Good Riddance to the CPB
By Eric Rozenman Hallelujah! Early this month the Corporation for Public Broadcasting announced it would disband. That was due to congressional passage of President Trump’s rescissions package which, among other things, eliminated the nearly $1.2 billion CPB funneled biennially to National Public Radio and television’s Public Broadcasting Service.
An Anglo-Protestant culture, not a Christian nation
By Eric Rozenman Once more we are being told that “America is a Christian nation.” Asserted by some leaders of the Southern Baptist Convention and others 30-plus years ago, now Vice President J.D. Vance and former VP Mike Pence lead those reiterating the claim. But it was wrong then and remains so today.
Israeli genocide? The world is wrong yet again
(Jan. 9, 2026 / JNS) “Everything that needs to be said already has been said. But since no one was listening, it must be said again.” — Andre Gide, 1947 Nobel Prize laureate for literature The original blood libel—the accusation that Jews kidnapped and murdered non-Jews to use their blood in religious rituals—began among Greeks in antiquity. It led to massacres of Jews throughout the Middle Ages, pogroms in the 19th century, and was revived in the 20th century by the Nazis.

Ruminations on Rabin
By Eric Rozenman The 30th anniversary last month of the assassination of Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin sparked two curious misrecollections. One, by the Jewish Telegraphic Agency’s Andrew Silow-Carroll, reported on a new musical and a poetry collection, asking if the Jewish world has forgotten the premier, a “champion” of Israeli-Palestinian peace.
Reflexiones sobre Rabin
El 30 aniversario el mes pasado del asesinato del primer ministro israelí Yitzhak Rabin provocó dos curiosas imprecisiones. Una, de Andrew Silow-Carroll de la Jewish Telegraphic Agency, informó sobre un nuevo musical y una colección de poesía, preguntando si el mundo judío ha olvidado al primer ministro, un “campeón” de la paz israelo-palestina.

The Window of Opportunity for Israeli Security May Be Closing
By Eric Rozenman For a moment, after two years of war, Israel stood atop the Middle East. In early October, Hamas agreed to a ceasefire and hostage return in accordance with President Trump’s 20-point peace plan. Recovering from the national gut-punch inflicted by Hamas’ Oct. 7 massacre, Israel smashed the Iranian-led “ring of resistance” around the Jewish State. There was a new regime in Syria, Hezbollah and Iran had been severely weakened, and the Houthis had also suffered setbacks.

The Arabs’ Century of Rejecting Palestine
By Eric Rozenman Secretary of State Marco Rubio does not think much of plans by France, the United Kingdom, Canada and Australia to recognize a state of Palestine this coming week at the United Nations. Rubio says recognition would not change reality but would reward Hamas terrorism. The UN General Assembly greased the way for France and the others earlier in September by finally condemning Hamas’ Oct. 7, 2023 massacre of 1,200 people in Israel and seizure of 251 others.

President Lyndon B. Vortz Bortz and the Men from Mars
By Eric Rozenman (September 2025) It happened just this way, though of course the government—the one that used to be in Washington, D.C. and now is … well, we are not supposed to say, are we?—covered it up almost immediately. I know because I, what they called a “juvenile offender” in those days, was at the courthouse when it happened … *** Monitoring Earth’s communications irritated Vortz.
No swastikas, no hoods, no keffiyehs
By Eric Rozenman A few years ago, a parent of Indian background complained to public-school administrators in Fairfax County, Va., that the swastika—an ancient symbol of good fortune in Hindu and Buddhist culture—had been wrongly tarnished through appropriation by Nazi Germany. Its classroom portrayal in that light was unfair, he insisted. Poor man.

Gravity II & Collisions
By Eric Rozenman (August 2024) Gravity II – Absent gravity We would float right off This good, green Earth. Thank heaven And nature And nature’s God (But I repeat myself) For creating gravity To hold our feet to the fire. – – – Collisions – Your head on my shoulder Your breathing regular You sleep untroubled So untroubled I lie awake Captivated by your warmth. Outside I hear the silent neighborhood Enveloped in stillness To prolong this moment I place my hand on your thigh Surprisingly cool.
Who Killed Red Delicious?
By Eric Rozenman (July 2025) Who killed Red Delicious? It was a serious question. Murder always is. Or should be, though you can’t tell all the time. Sometimes a killer turns out to be the respected Scoutmaster who, after years of aggravation, does away with a helicopter parent. A decent lawyer can plea bargain that down to justifiable homicide and, anticipating good behavior, a short sentence.
The Blogs: Colonial Williamsburg Spotlights Elijah Muhammad
It is a small thing, only a few inches tall. But it carries a big toxic message. The thing is a statuette representing Elijah Muhammad, carved by the noted folk artist Ulysses Davis. The Abby Aldrich Rockefeller Folk Art Museum at Colonial Williamsburg spotlights the carving in one of its galleries. Colonial Williamsburg, a living American history museum, is a national treasure. A presentation of Muhammad in that context, especially a fraudulent one, cannot be defended.
Why I Can’t Read the Newspapers Anymore
By Eric Rozenman Who can forget where he or she was when news struck of the decision by retired English journalist John Richards to close the Apostrophe Protection Society? Who wasn’t rocked when Richards, 95, announced in 2019 that he and his society, which had grown in 18 years to several hundred stalwarts, were giving up? “The barbarians have won,” he conceded. This surrender shocked as much as if news came that the Berlin Wall had been rebuilt or Taylor Swift entered a nunnery.
This Is the Actual Humanitarian Situation in Gaza
By Eric Rozenman I think this piece (link attached) by Shoshana Bryen of the Jewish Policy Center that appears in the current issue of the online newspaper The Algemeiner is worthy of attention. I have JPC permission to repost. The humanitarian aid situation in Gaza has been receiving overwhelming media coverage lately.
Getting Real About Jew Hatred
By Eric Rozenman Spontaneous memorials, like the dozens of glowing yahrzeit candles on the sidewalk near the White House on May 22, and empathetic statements after the murders of Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim like the one by Mayor Muriel Bowser that Washington, D.C., “will not tolerate antisemitism” were necessary. But insufficient.
Pope Francis’ Unholy Alliances II
By Eric Rozenman “The not-so-quiet talk on the next pope; Candidates are emerging even as Francis recovers from health crises,” the March 15 Washington Post advised readers. “Vatican officials warn that it’s disrespectful to discuss the conclave that will elect Francis’s successor while the 88-year-old pontiff is still in his Rome hospital suite recovering …” the newspaper noted.
The Blogs: Imagine a Looming Saudi-U.S. 'Two-State' Trap
Imagine for a moment that you are the prime minister of Israel. Imagine also it is still February 28. You just have watched U.S. President Donald Trump and Vice President J.D. Vance boot Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky from the White House for disagreeing with them. You saw the Americans attack their erstwhile ally for resisting concessions they implied he must make for what they called peace with Ukraine’s mortal enemy, Vladimir Putin’s Russia.
Pope Francis’ Unholy Alliances
By Eric Rozenman One can pray for the speedy recovery of Pope Francis, 88 and hospitalized with pneumonia, while wishing that when called in 2013, Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio stayed in Argentina. As pope, Francis has been wrong consistently. He seems unable to render “unto Caesar the things that are Caesar’s and unto God the things that are God’s.” For example, five days before leaving office, the Biden administration announced removal of Cuba from the U.S. list of state sponsors of terrorism.
World War IV at the Door
Recent references to a potential World War III abound. They include those from a George F. Will Washington Post column headlined “Averting World War III starts with stopping Putin”. There was also Holman W. Jenkins, Jr.’s Wall Street Journal commentary implying the Biden administration has left the United States “on the doorstep of World War III” and the bipartisan Commission on the National Defense Strategy’s report warning that, in the words of chair and former U.S. Rep.
Missing in action: The US Holocaust Memorial Museum
After the murder of nearly 3,000 people in the United States by members of the Al-Qaeda terror group on Sept. 11, 2001, a recurrent, if at times implicit answer to the question “Why do they hate us?” became “the Jews.” Some 22 years later, when Hamas slaughtered 1,200 people and kidnapped another 250 in Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, such gleeful barbarity intensified antisemitism already surging through democratic countries.
Wait, Wait…Don’t Tell Them
Anthony Fauci recently received standing ovations from nearly 7,000 people. Twice in less than half an hour. Unjustifiable, it is true, but not inexplicable. Fauci, of course, is the recently retired head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infection Diseases and the Covid-19 pandemic’s self-proclaimed Dr. Science. He is now on tour flogging his memoir On Call: A Doctor’s Journey in Public Service, a New York Times bestseller.
U.N. Court Orders Jews—‘Get Out!’ – Jewish Policy Center
The U.N. International Court of Justice ruled on July 19 that Israel should get out of “illegally occupied Palestinian territory”—the West Bank (Judea and Samaria) and eastern Jerusalem. As law, the decision is a travesty. As propaganda it is toxic. Contrary to the ICJ’s advisory opinion, the legal status of the West Bank and eastern Jerusalem is disputed, not occupied. And Israel possesses a strong claim.
Israel Against Hezbollah: Now or Nuclear? – Jewish Policy Center
Unlike Ukraine, Israel is presumed to possess nuclear weapons. Unlike Israel, Iran is presumed not to possess nuclear weapons, not yet. But according to the United Nations’ International Atomic Energy Agency, it is well on its way. The US and Israel are to hold an overdue meeting on the threat in coming days.

Statistics, Lies and War Reporting – Jewish Policy Center
Israel’s existential struggle against Iran’s “ring of fire”—Hamas in the Gaza Strip, Hezbollah in Lebanon, militia in Syria and Iraq, the Houthis in Yemen and Tehran itself—includes a psychological warfare showdown between Josef Goebbels and Thomas Jefferson. Goebbels, the Nazi propaganda minister, famously asserted that “a lie repeated once remains a lie.
The War Against Israel IS the War Against the Jews – Jewish Policy Center
In 2015, Atlantic magazine featured an article by Editor-in-Chief Jeffrey Goldberg that was headlined “Is It Time for Jews to Leave Europe?” The February issue of Commentary magazine’s cover article is headlined, “They’re Coming After Us.” Editor John Podhoretz begins by writing “I have lost count of the number of times the phrase ‘I have never felt like this before’ has been whispered in my ear, texted or sent to me in an e-mail,” in the three months since Hamas attacked Israel on October...
CAIR: Hamas’s ‘civil rights’ front group
It was well-reported that CAIR, the Council on American-Islamic Relations, lost its role in helping to promote the U.S. National Strategy to Counter Antisemitism Strategy after its executive director, Nihad Awad, celebrated Hamas’ Oct. 7 massacre of 1,200 Israelis and foreign visitors.
