Alan Skorski interviewed Thane Rosenbaum whose recent book, Beyond Proportionality: Israel’s Just War in Gaza outlines how the IDF not only fought within accordance of international law, but performed at unparalleled levels to minimize non-combatant fatalities that no other army in the world has ever done.
Following Rosenbaum’s summary of his book during the opening of the interview the focus then shifted to his recently published a column, titled, If the Horseshow Fits…Saddle Up which raised awareness of the rise of antisemitism from the right, which was unheard of just a few years ago. According to Professor Rosenbaum, the antisemitism on the left has been more organized from the start than anything coming from the right. “The left has a stranglehold” on some of the most important institutions which hold all the reigns of power, starting with our universities. In sharp contrast, the antisemitism coming from the right, which Rosenbaum calls “guttural antisemitism,” isn’t anything new, just the same old trash we heard in the 1930’s, and from antisemites in every previous century.
On the left, there is unity in their war against Israel, Zionism, and the Jews. Whereas on the Right, who else do they really have besides Tucker Carlson, who, according to Professor Rosenbaum, isn’t very educated, and nothing he says is terribly profound.
During the interview, Skorski reminded his audience that while the Left is united with little to no fracture in their ranks, there are many pro-Israel Christians who have pushed back hard against the charlatans masquerading as Christians like Carlson, Candace Owens, and most recently, Carrie Prejean Boller, who was briefly on President Trump’s Board to promote religious liberty until her antisemitic outbursts, including support for Candace Owens, got her removed from the Board.
