Editor: Like William F. Buckley Jr. , Stephens is an Oil Man’s Brat! And from the above former ‘a editor-in-chief of The Jerusalem Post’ , but more that just that!
Before that, he was editor-in-chief of The Jerusalem Post. At The Jerusalem Post, he oversaw the paper’s news, editorial, digital, and international operations, and wrote a weekly column. Stephens is the author of “America in Retreat: The New Isolationism and the Coming Global Disorder,” “The Dying Art of Disagreement,” and “Has Obama Made the World a More Dangerous Place?
Editor: From the final paragraphs of Stephens’ Sept. 9, 2025 essay:
An excess of fear can lead to serious mistakes, and we’ll find out soon if Israel’s strike on Hamas’s leaders in Qatar was one of them. But if Israel’s usual critics can’t be bothered to appreciate the seriousness of the threat Israelis face daily — from Houthi drones, Palestinian gunmen, Hezbollah rocket fire displacing tens of thousands of Israelis or Israeli women being raped and slaughtered by Hamas — they will have no influence over Israeli thinking or behavior. In their one-sided vehemence, they write themselves out of any meaningful conversation about the Palestinian future.
So what effect do anti-Israel gesture politics actually have?
From Montreal to Paris to Melbourne, diaspora Jews are living through the worst era of open antisemitism since the 1930s. Leaders like Canada’s Mark Carney, France’s Emmanuel Macron and Australia’s Anthony Albanese are no doubt sincere in condemning this. But they are also contributing to a climate of anti-Jewish demonization by treating Israel as a quasi-pariah state whose presumptive supporters can be viewed as guilty accomplices. In their virtue-signaling foreign policy, they are inflicting genuine harms on their own Jewish citizens.
Long term, the Jews will survive this — as we always have. The history of governments that sought to win political favor by harming the Jews is usually a story of disgrace and decline.
Editor: Bret Stephens is more than a Zionist Apologist, but the voice of the Toxin of the Gaza Genocide, in all it’s criminal iterations! Which Mr. Stephens attempts to papers over, with an amplified Jewish Victimhood narrative!
