How the Culture Promotes Anti-Semitism

The Commentary Magazine Podcast ·

2025/11/20

As a genocidal protest breaks out in front of an Orthodox synagogue in New York City, elsewhere in the cultural capital, a books-awards group hands out garlands to explicitly anti-Zionist and anti-Semitic work.

Shutdown for What?

2025/11/10

The government shutdown appears to be reaching its end, and that's because eight non-Democratic senators have effectively agreed to the deal that Republicans put on the table before the shutdown began.

And, most deliciously, we explore the collapse of the BBC senior leadership after an internal expose of their crimes against Trump, trans ideology, and Israel. Give a listen.

Don't Eat That Friday-Night Brisket!

The Commentary Magazine Podcast ·

2025/11/07
