Jews and Christians Together
A reader of this blog recently opined, "And there isn't any "Judeo-Christian" anything: there is just Christian and Jew, and ne'er the twain shall meet." This provocative comment ignited some animated push-back from other commenters. And so it was serendipitous that I should stumble this morning upon Jews and Christians Together by Ian Speir. If…

Anti-Semitism in John Chrysostom
Eight Homilies against the Jews, Homily I. Some historical background to this: It’s November 2023, and, following the October 7 attacks by Hamas terrorists that killed some 1,400 Israelis and at least 31 Americans, thousands of demonstrators march through New York City, calling for the destruction of the Jewish state.

Jews, Muslims, Science and Technology
Which group has contributed more to science and technology? Jews or Muslims? And why? Question prompted by this: Today, Jewish and Israeli MIT students were physically prevented from attending class by a hostile group of pro-Hamas and anti-Israel MIT students that call themselves the CAA [Coalition Against Apartheid, apparently].

Wolff on Israel
Robert Paul Wolff, 30 October 2023: I have found the series of comments on the Israeli situation interesting and helpful. I have not responded to them because I am so upset by what is happening that I can barely watch the news reports of it anymore. Let me make one small observation. There has been…

Three Notes on David Mamet
Top o' the Stack. The third note sends the reader to How the Democrats betrayed the Jews. Mamet is right about the Dems. He also rightly notes that Christianity bears some responsibility for anti-semitism: It began with the fall of the Jewish state in 77 CE. Afterwards, we find the Christian libel that the Jews…
