- Privilege
- |

- Buddhists
- |
- Nov 07, 2020

- Nov 07, 2020

- City
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Since Britain handed over jurisdiction of its former colony to China 20 years ago, the city has operated under the notion of 'one country, two systems.' That increasingly appears to be an empty slogan.

- New

- Nov 07, 2020
Few of us doubt that stealing is wrong, especially from the poor. But the accusation of 'cultural appropriation' is overwhelmingly being used as an objection to syncretism - the mixing of different thoughts, religions, cultures, and ethnicities that often ends up creating entirely new ones.
- Nov 07, 2020
Culture should be shared, not hoarded.
- Man
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Britain beat us to the abolition of slavery; the Isle of Man, New Zealand, and Finland all decided to give women the vote well before the United States. Eventually, we got smart and borrowed these egalitarian innovations.

- Nov 07, 2020
When Kendrick Lamar blasts Mr. Trump, he is preaching to the choir. When Eminem does it, there's a good chance Trump voters are actually listening.
- Knows
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Eminem knows that Republicans buy songs - his songs - too. His message to them is to stop buying.
- Influence
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The Heritage Foundation, by far the most influential think tank of the Trump era, is widely seen as a redoubt of Trumpism in large part because of the tremendous influence of the Mercers, who are major donors.
- Life
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
In Israel, there is no civil marriage. All elements of religious life - from the kosher certification of food to conversion to marriages and burials - are controlled by the rabbinate. In Israel, then, the official religion is not just Judaism. It's Orthodoxy.
- Church
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
One area where American Jews have something to teach Israel is religious pluralism, something that living in a democracy with a separation between church and state has helped us fine-tune.
- Innovation
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The Jewish state has so much to teach diaspora Jews about resilience, innovation, energy, and optimism.
- Light
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Israel's highest aspiration may be to be a light among the nations, but it is also a normal nation, where regular people want to go about their business without a religious authority having a say.
- Companion
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I'd venture a bet that no American hates 'Prairie Home Companion' more than I do.
- Men
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
'Annie Hall' and 'The Graduate' are incredible films. Why should we be deprived of watching them because some of the men that made them are bad?
- Most
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I think 'Les Demoiselles D'Avignon' is one of the most transfixing paintings of all time. And it was made by a monster of a man.
- Decency
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
If the standard for art is the decency of its creators, we're going to have a lot of empty museums.
- Better
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I believe that facts serve feminists far better than faith. That due process is better than mob rule.
- Forget
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The best movie theater in the world is in a dingy basement on Manhattan's Upper West Side. The worn seats are painful. There are probably bigger screens in half the apartments in the complex above the theater. And forget Fandango; the theater barely has a website. You want to buy a ticket? Get in line.
- Ground
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
In the Trump era, the Left has smartly and justifiably seized a moral high ground that the Right has abandoned by its embrace of the president.
- Live
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
We live in a world in which politically fascistic behavior, if not the actual philosophy, is unquestionably on the rise.
- Community
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Organized religion may be anathema on the political Left, but the need for the things religion provides - moral fervor, meaning, a sense of community - are not.
- Prime Minister
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
It's no rare thing for the Israeli prime minister to enrage the Jews of the diaspora.
- Look
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Anti-Semitism is the hatred that never dies. Violence that begins with the Jews never ends with them. All of this is true. What's also true is that anti-Semitism is the oldest hatred in the world because individual people have sustained it in every generation. It cannot be defeated until we look these people and their ideologies in the face.
- More
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Only the likes of Piers Morgan would be opposed to a Miss America contest that promises to be more 'empowering' and 'inclusive.'
- Culture
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Our culture hasn't stopped objectifying women. We - men and women both - are just getting better at pretending it's not happening.
- Miss
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I haven't watched Miss America since I was in middle school, and I was incredulous even then.
- Great
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
While men pretend not to judge women for the way they look, we go to great lengths to pretend we don't care, either.
- Like
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Women are hypocrites. Women are opportunists. Women are liars. They are abusers and bullies and manipulators. They are capable of cruelty, callousness, and evil. Just like men.
- Good
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
'Believe women' only works as a rule of thumb when all women are good. That myth falls flat outside Victorian England.
- Enough
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
We need a feminist movement that is robust enough to survive women who have preyed on others without trying to justify their behavior or maligning their victims.
- Movement
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
We need a feminist movement in which the facts of the case trump the identities of the parties involved.
- Face
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Most people, including many Jews, think of Yom Kippur as a 25-hour caffeine headache capped off by a lox-and-bagels binge. It's undeniably that. But it is also, at its deepest level, a dry run. It is the one day of the year when we Jews are asked to look our mortality in the face.
- Me
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I am a serial denier. I try not to be. I tell myself, 'You are going to die.' I repeat it. I grasp it for a second or two, but then it escapes me, and I'm back to before.
- Nov 07, 2020
A lawsuit can be a weapon.
- People
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Paris. Toulouse. Malmo. Copenhagen. Brussels. Berlin. For most people, they are lovely cities where you might happily take a holiday. But for the world's Jews, they are something else, too. They are place names of hate.
- Nov 07, 2020
While racists see themselves as proudly punching down, anti-Semites perceive themselves as punching up.
- Attuned
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
For reasons historic, aesthetic, and political, we Jews are most attuned to the anti-Semitism of the far Right - and we find the most sympathy among our progressive allies when these are our attackers.
- Go
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Most women who go public with #MeToo stories are fearful for obvious reasons. There is the pain of reliving traumatic experiences. There is the rage of not being believed.
- Down
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Australia's defamation laws help explain why the #MeToo movement, while managing to take down some of the most powerful men in the entertainment and media industry in the United States, has not taken off there.
- Come
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I thought I would come to Australia and learn to surf. Instead, I learned to walk.
- Future
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Many older people I know are focused on the past. When they talk about the future, they are, quite understandably, preoccupied with the hassles and obstacles of their increasing age.
- Just
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Australians have more fun. They just do. I guess I should not be surprised by this fact given that this is the place that birthed both Hugh Jackman and Kylie Minogue.
- Friends
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
In the States, time with friends can feel a bit like those PETA videos of chickens on factory farms: slotted and squeezed into tight compartments.
- Beauty
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Part of the beauty of the way Australians hang out isn't just how relaxed it is, but the inclusive, rolling nature of how they socialize.
- Everyone
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
In my experience, American office Christmas parties mean that everyone gets a thimbleful of lukewarm Champagne in a plastic cup.
- History
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The conspiracy theory of the Jew as the hypnotic conspirator, the duplicitous manipulator, the sinister puppeteer is one with ancient roots and a bloody history.
- Criticisms
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
While there are perfectly legitimate criticisms that one can make of Israel or the actions of its government - and I have never been shy about making them - those criticisms cross the line into anti-Semitism when they ascribe evil, almost supernatural powers to Israel in a manner that replicates classic anti-Semitic slanders.
- See
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Those who call themselves anti-Zionists usually insist they are not anti-Semites. But I struggle to see what else to call an ideology that seeks to eradicate only one state in the world - the one that happens to be the Jewish one - while empathetically insisting on the rights of self-determination for every other minority.
- Just
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Despite the fact that the vast majority of Israeli Jews are not Orthodox, the ultra-Orthodox hold the keys not just to Israel's Jewish sacred places, but to the life cycle events - conversions, weddings, divorces, burials - of the country's more than six million Jews.
- Dreams
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I'm not someone who from a young age imagined myself being a writer or had dreams of being a novelist or anything like that, but I was always very driven by ideas and by values, and that is the reason I got into journalism.
- Homeless
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I am used to being politically homeless, which I think is a very, very Jewish position.
- Nov 07, 2020
I don't trade on my sexual identity in that way for political points. I think that's lame, and it's not my style.
- Men
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I've been in love with both men and women. I've been ghosted by both men and women.
- Leader
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
To many American Jews, it is a truism that Barack Obama was the anti-Israel president. It was Mr. Obama who signed the Iran deal, which Israel portrayed as a mortal danger. It was Mr. Obama whose most contentious relationship with a foreign leader was with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
- Group
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Tel Aviv was established in 1909 by a group of secular Jewish families; Judaism's origin story is about 2,000 years older.
- College Campuses
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Liberals shouldn't cede the responsibility to defend free speech on college campuses to conservatives. After all, without free speech, what's liberalism about?
- Conservatives
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Shutting down conservatives has become de rigueur. But now anti-free-speech activists are increasingly turning their ire on free-thinking progressives.
- Debate
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Reasonable people can debate whether or not social experiments like a Day of Absence are enlightening.
- Downplay
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Conservatives are often fond of La Rochefoucauld's famous aphorism that 'Hypocrisy is a tribute that vice pays to virtue,' and so tend to downplay hypocrisy as a sin. But in the marketplace of ideas they champion, hypocrisy may yet turn out to be the deadliest - or costliest - of sins.
- Election
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Donald Trump's election was a watershed moment. Even those like me, who had previously pulled levers for candidates of both parties, felt that Mr. Trump had not only violated all sense of common decency, but, alarmingly, that he seemed to have no idea that there even existed such an unspoken code of civility and dignity.
- Big
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The leaders of the Women's March, arguably the most prominent feminists in the country, have some chilling ideas and associations. Far from erecting the big tent so many had hoped for, the movement they lead has embraced decidedly illiberal causes and cultivated a radical tenor that seems determined to alienate all but the most woke.
