Eye on hate: Dems Now the Chief Antisemites
“If I’d told you in 2015 that the focal point of antisemitic sentiment in the U.S. in 2026 would be inside the Democratic Party, you would have thought I was insane,” posits John Podhoretz at The Free Press. Back then, it was the proper attacking Jewish conservatives, unleashing a selection of antisemitic assaults. Yet President Trump “became the most pro-Israel president in American history,” and “in the real world of politics, policy, and protests, outside of the realm of X posts,” all “the roiling turmoil on Jewish issues has come from the left.” Why? Trump has a “fingertip feel for what the people who love him want to hear from him,” and “Republicans overall remain overwhelmingly supportive of Israel and sympathetic to Jewish concerns,” so “the philosemitic, pro-Israel path of Trump II is the result of a dynamic interplay between the president and his base” — his actual base, not the cranks now “talking about starting a third party.”
Trafficking beat: Close the Surrogacy Loopholes
US law lets wealthy Chinese nationals “mail-order American babies for a vial of semen and a lot of cash,” thunders the Federalist’s Nathanael Blake. Video-game mogul Xu Bo has 100 kids born by American surrogates; his ilk, are spending up to $200,000 per youngster to forge “an unstoppable family dynasty,” The Wall Street Journal reviews. Team Trump should “treat this as the human trafficking and national security threat that it is, and shut it down. We put export controls on all sorts of things; we should add American infants to the list. Making America Great Again means not selling American babies.”
Feminist: Amnesty International vs. Women
Amnesty International “once presented itself as the conscience of the free world” and a “champion of dissidents and those who stood up to authoritarian power,” recollects Jo Bartosch at Spiked, however now “resembles the very forces it was created to oppose.” It has embraced the logic of “trans tyranny,” claiming that people who imagine “sex-based rights are worth defending” are literally half of an “anti-rights ecosystem” that threatens “the safety of women and LGBT+ people.” A latest, shortly deleted Amnesty report had “the unfortunate optics of compiling lists of ideological enemies” who help the time-tested thought “that human beings are either male or female, that sex cannot be changed, and that the physical differences between the sexes matter.”

Olympics watch: Putin’s War Disqualifies Russia

Kramer & Elizabeth Kennedy Trudeau at The Hill, “after the International Olympic Committee voted Tuesday to lift the 2023 suspension of the Russian Olympic Committee,” imposed after Putin’s invasion of Ukraine.

Conservative: World Ignores Cuba’s Pain
Despite the “courage of so many” to protest “against the Cuban military dictatorship,” the “international community still refuses to denounce” the regime, laments The Wall Street Journal’s Mary Anastasia O’Grady. Instead, the United Nations not too long ago voted “to open debate on U.S. sanctions.” Cubans need a “leg up from the outside,” however that “won’t happen until countries put aside their obsession with thwarting the Americans.” The regime holds “800 political prisoners” and tries to silence dissent by “death, imprisonment or exile.” And as the United States seeks to finish Cuba’s “immense human-trafficking network” of docs and nurses compelled to work abroad for the regime’s revenue, critics “suggest that Washington is denying healthcare to the needy.” “History will not absolve” these international locations for ignoring “crimes against humanity.”
