I wrote about *why* Sally Rooney would stage an elaborate self-boycott after Britain refused to censor her. Crazy only gets crazier commentary.org/seth-mandel/s…

Sally Rooney’s Self-Boycott Stunt

It is an iron rule of journalism that if a headline says someone was punished or censored for their “Palestine support,” that claim will be debunked by the text of the story. So for exampl...

Now that the Palestinian Authority has dropped the elections that were a key reason France recognized their ‘state,’ I have a modest proposal for how Paris can pressure Ramallah to get back on track: try BDS! commentary.org/seth-mandel/p…

American Jews Are Fulfilling Their Obligation to Stand Up to Mamdani

Yesterday’s events are a reminder not only that an unhinged Hamasnik left will devour itself while baying for Jewish blood, but also that Jews don’t have to sit on the sidelines while all thi...

I wrote about how we now have several on-the-record Israelis who have direct knowledge of the NAZA-related systems explaining what the movie got wrong--but they're only in Jewish and Israeli publications, b/c mainstream pubs are in blackout mode: commentary.org/seth-mandel/t…

Today I wrote about the musicality of Jewish survival: Why the returning Israeli passengers sang what they sang, why certain songs have become Israeli anthems of hope and resilience post-Oct. 7, and the deeper meaning of it all commentary.org/seth-mandel/t…

There are numerous videos floating around of the Israeli passengers from the nearly-hijacked Flydubai plane at various stages of their ordeal, but one stands out from the rest. The co-pilot of...
