sh, Byzantine, and Aramaic speaking Christian communities to Arabisation and Islamic rule. It also Islamised Persia. Their conquest of North Africa and Iberia extended forced Arabisation to Egyptian, Greek, Berber, and Visigoth peoples. Turkish speaking people moved from central Asia into Anatolia in the eleventh century. The Ottomans subsequently imposed Turkish rule and settlement on large areas of the Middle East, Armenia, North Africa, Cyprus, and the Balkans, which they incorporated into a large Islamic Empire. The sequence of invasions and population flows in these areas throughout ancient, Medieval, and modern history renders the notion of an indigenous population in these regions largely without content…

Under the guise of promoting diversity and equality, the identity politics of the postmodernist left has overturned the broad coalition-building agenda of classical progressive movements. It has replaced it with the worship of ethnic and gender difference, based on inherited virtue conferred by a history of European colonial dispossession. The purpose of this exercise appears to be not the creation of a social order that provides fully democratic institutions and genuine equality to all its members, but a permanent acknowledgement of original sin and past guilt by the descendants of the colonisers, and those who benefit from the privileges that they enjoy.

But yes, read it all.

The events following 7 October 2023 should have made it abundantly clear that, contrary to official assurances, Jews are no longer equal citizens in the polities that they inhabit in most of the Diaspora. The attitudes of the postmodernist left have penetrated large areas of the public domain. They are now infesting the public school system in many places, making life intolerable for many Jewish children in non-Jewish schools. Boycotts of Jewish artists, writers, and performers have taken hold in large swaths of publishing and cultural life. Discrimination in hiring has now become a visible issue. Many mainstream institutions avoid engaging with clearly identified Jewish figures or agencies for fear of cancellation and violent protest. Calling on the traditional political and civil authorities to protect Jews from attack or exclusion in this sort of environment is seeking to respond to the growing threat with a phantom limb.

In order to develop viable strategies for ensuring survival in the current situation, Jews in the Diaspora will have to come to terms with the fact that they no longer have a natural, assured place in their host countries.
