I love this and well done. If Iran could they would attack Israel with a nuclear weapon and the retaliation would end civilization as we know it. The hatred of Israel is just a focus of Jew hate. They don’t even bother trying to to hide it anymore. Victor Davis Hansen is a great addition to the list and Mike Baker’s President Daily Brief.
Micah Goodman the only one I don’t follow. I do follow some people who are originally from Iran like Mahyar Tousi and Armin Navabi. Meira K. a British Israeli is pretty good. And there’s this Israeli Druze guy Mansour Ashkar. Shady Shae is an interesting pro Israel personality. My daughter tells me I should spend more time watching light comedy.
Thank you for adding to the list. I added Micah Goodman after listening to him on Haviv Gur's podcast. He is an expert on Iran and the history alone is fascinating. He was also on Times of Israel's podcast yesterday or today.
Love Tousi. My oldest regularly send me updates from his podcasts.
“Wiesel criticized the U.S. and British for not bombing the death camps. He said that when he was in Auschwitz, he and others could see the nearby munitions factories being bombed and prayed the planes would also hit the camps, but they didn’t. He added that the Soviet Union also has to be criticized because its troops were even closer to the camps and they too did nothing.”
Actually that is not mine. I stole it from someone else. I just can't remember where I saw it. if you see it, let me know so I can give the right attribution. But I would think you could use it.
This essay includes a good list of reliable sources of opinion and information, though I would remove Eli Lake. Perhaps he wrote a piece on TFP that appealed to you, but I've found some of his writings to be superficial or just plain wrong.
I find he is very knowledgeable about history and politics. So I will leave him there. Have you listened to his podcast? Have you listened to him on Hugh Hewitt or any other podcast?
It is your list, not mine, but a good list. I wasn't asking you to remove him, the notion makes me laugh. Just said I would have removed him, probably should have said I wouldn't have included him. Maybe you thought I was asking you to remove him. Can't recall which Eli Lake piece rubbed me strongly the wrong way. I just reviewed a few of his pieces and his last few were fine, though his 2/20 piece on Jesse Jackson left much to be desired, as in my view Jackson's concession speech was more political theatre and acting than a sincere apology. Jackson never disowned his endorsement of Louis Farrahkhan, nor did Farrahkahn ever express dissatisfaction with Jackson. I've never listened to Lake on any podcast. In 2018 I was teaching at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and on my flight back to the East Coast from San Francisco, I stood behind Jesse Jackson on the Pre TSA line. Not sure where he was flying to. He didn't look well and had a young aid with him, assisting him with carry on bags and walking. I said "Hello Reverend Jackson, hope you have a safe flight." He didn't respond, just looked at me blankly.
Not to worry. Eli also loves Kanye's music. I think we dont have to agree with everything that someone thinks, writes or believes. I just like his take on the politics and he has a vast knowledge of the history of how things went down in this country and in global hotspots.
I had a feeling that Jesse Jackson was suffering from some form of dementia. He had not been well for a long time. It doesn't change what he did or did not do though.

Excellent questions
Thanks!
My favourite line: the watermelon brigade. May I use it when I write about the topic?
Actually that is not mine. I stole it from someone else. I just can't remember where I saw it. if you see it, let me know so I can give the right attribution. But I would think you could use it.
Very thorough and fair. And true to our values. Thank you.

With all seriousness – thank you for taking the time to write this. You raise many salient points with your questions.

An add to your list: Elica Le Bon
Yes. This is why I asked for people to add names. I am too old to remember everyone. Thanks!
