Israel's Unstoppable Bad Boys of Streaming

1 week ago | commentary.org | Seth Mandel

I was trying to figure out what it was that I liked so much about Bad Boy, the new Israeli TV series that premiers on Netflix today. The acting is excellent, the writing is solid-it's a good show. But then it hit me: The fact that there is no larger significance to the show is what is so significant about it. It is "merely" a massively successful (in Israel, at least so far) Israeli artistic endeavor with an undercurrent of political normalcy. And finding a home on Netflix means it has gone global.

The Passion Play of Rand Paul and Bernie Sanders

1 week ago | commentary.org | Seth Mandel

The Antisemitism Awareness Act has been dead before, but this time it might take. Bernie Sanders and Rand Paul teamed up to add poison pills to the bill that adopts the Jewish community's consensus definition of anti-Semitism to fight Jew-hatred. But they did so in different ways, representing the two types of opposition to the bill. Sanders' strategy, to his credit, is the more effective one. If the bill finally dies of a thousand cuts, Sanders' will have been the ones that hit an artery.
77 Years of Vindication and Miracles

1 week ago | commentary.org | Seth Mandel

It's hard not to see some symbolism in the coinciding of three events this week: Israeli Independence Day, a rainstorm over areas of Israel scorched by a raging wildfire, and the U.S. and Ukraine signing a mineral deal. To back up: Today is Yom Ha'atzmaut, the day Israelis celebrate the reestablishment of Jewish sovereignty in the Jewish people's ancient land.
New Twists in the Ukraine Saga

1 week ago | commentary.org | John Podhoretz

The signing of a mineral deal with Ukraine represents a new turn in the Trump administration's handling of the war there and Russia's recalcitrance-is it a good turn or a bad turn? And we examine the media misreporting of the circumstances around the attempted deportation of an anti-Israel and anti-Semitic green-card holder. Give a listen.

Harvard Hamasniks' Jew-Tracking Network

2 weeks ago | commentary.org | Seth Mandel

The long-awaited Harvard report on its own campus anti-Semitism is more than 300 pages long. By now, we have heard most of these stories or stories just like them, and the subsequent lack of impact is no doubt what Harvard was betting on by dragging out this process as long as it has. But "most" is not "all," and there is one story buried within the dense report that is genuinely shocking, even after all we've seen.
