Because there are sometimes too many topics to cover in just one; we have columns like this one.

The remarkable story of FlyDubai Flight 1073 should remind us of the profound differences between Israel and its unsavory neighbors.

Israelis don't try to hijack airplanes in order to crash them and kill all the innocent men, women, and children on board. To the contrary, no country in our time has been more threatened by terrorism or fought back against it so heroically.

Even though our viscerally anti-Israel media seeks to convince us otherwise (usually by reflexively spewing Hamas propaganda), we should never be confused as to who the good guys and bad guys are here.

Our relationship with Israel isn't a geopolitical liability but a tremendous asset. Israel remains a valuable ally in a crucial strategic region, as well as an oasis of democracy, progress and civilization surrounded by despotism, stagnation, and barbarism.

As if Oct. 7 wasn't sufficient for clarity on the matter.

If antisemitism is rising on both the left and right, we should take care to note that on the latter it is largely confined to bizarre fringe podcasters (Tucker Carlson, Nick Fuentes, Candace Owens, etc.), whereas on the former, within the Democratic Party, it is becoming something of a foundational ideological element.
