Fauda destroys the logic of the anti-Zionist movement. Its characters are doers, insistent on an unapologetic Jewishness, with no intention of dying and with a deep-rooted connection to the land of Israel. And the fifth season of the show has been its most popular, topping charts in Israel—and the Arab world. Read @petersavodnik's full review here: bit.ly/4xM771Q

"The meaning of Fauda, as revealed by season 5, is birth, rebirth, pushing on—an unapologetic Jewishness. Not emancipation as it was understood by the Europeans. Not tolerance. Not pity or mercy. Fauda Jews are not Anne Frank." My latest @TheFP thefp.com/p/fauda-tells-worl…

This week, you’ll find America’s most famous bar in a small Massachusetts town. The Last Ditch opened as a safe space for immunocompromised lesbians. When it dropped its mask mandate, all hell broke loose. What ensued is a story about how progressive institutions collapse under their insistence on catering to everyone, including those that would see their business fail.

When Iran suppressed the Women, Life, Freedom uprising in early 2023, the regime killed at least 551 people, and arrested nearly 19,000 protestors. They also intentionally blinded hundreds of women. This week, Iranian officials are in New York City at the United Nations. They are the men seeking to perpetuate the same regime that blinded its citizens and have still not been brought to justice.
