How Israel Is Thinking About The US Election – Bari Weiss and Haviv Rettig Gur
August 8, 2024 in International Affairs, Media | Tags: Bari Weiss, Israel, The Free Press | by The Arbourist | 3 comments
The gap between North American media and media based in the middle east seems to be enormous. The glaring differences in detail and accuracy is of great concern to anyone who values ans accurate picture of what is happening with Israel and its opponents. If you have time, listen to the full podcast, it is well worth it.
How Israel is thinking about Kamala vs. Trump:
“BW: How is Israel looking at the present state of American politics? Who does it want to win the election?
HRG: It’s an election. It’s not about Israel, and it’s not about Gaza. You want to end the Gaza war? You want to prevent a war in Lebanon? You want to end the terrible civil war in Yemen and bring the forces to the table in Yemen that have starved 85,000 children to death and devastated that country? You want to fix the Middle East? It’s about Iran and it’s only about Iran. And it will only ever be about Iran. And until you solve Iran, nations will continue to be demolished. And America has to do that.
Everything I have seen from Democrats says they cannot, will not, don’t know how. They don’t have a vocabulary of foreign policy that allows them to seriously take up that challenge.
I wish I could say that the Republicans do. Some Republicans do. Will the Republicans in power in a new Trump administration know how to do any of that? I have no idea.
But on Iran, the Democrats have failed.
There are these quotes from Obama from back in 2015 that lifting sanctions will not cause Iran to become a dominant power in the region. If there’s any power in the region that is dominant in any way today, it’s Iran. So Obama’s own predictions about his own policies have proven completely incorrect.
Everybody’s lives in the Middle East depend on ending the Iranian regime’s crusade that has so far conquered and destroyed or is in some state of demolishing four different Arab countries and wants to destroy my country and says so publicly and will not stop until somebody stops it. And if America doesn’t have a policy on that—and Democrats do not—then America is part of the problem.”

The DWR Quote of the Day – Bari Weiss on We Should End DEI
November 11, 2023 in Politics | Tags: Bari Weiss, DEI, Tablet Magazine | by The Arbourist | 2 comments
Read the entire article on Tablet Magazine.
“But “DEI” is not about the words it uses as camouflage. DEI is about arrogating power.
And the movement that is gathering all this power does not like America or liberalism. It does not believe that America is a good country—at least no better than China or Iran. It calls itself progressive, but it does not believe in progress; it is explicitly anti-growth. It claims to promote “equity,” but its answer to the challenge of teaching math or reading to disadvantaged children is to eliminate math and reading tests. It demonizes hard work, merit, family, and the dignity of the individual.
An ideology that pathologizes these fundamental human virtues is one that seeks to undermine what makes America exceptional.
It is time to end DEI for good. No more standing by as people are encouraged to segregate themselves. No more forced declarations that you will prioritize identity over excellence. No more compelled speech. No more going along with little lies for the sake of being polite.”
