The Black-Jewish alliance from hell

Charles Murray's ["African-Americans are stupid" Charles Murray, G.A.] talk last night — he's this year's recipient of the Irving Kristol award — was by far my favorite. Accessible, but deep, sweeping yet focused, it was just a wonderful piece of work. Charles made the large case against America following Europe's socio-economic model, while at the same time refraining from bashing Europe or social democracy. ( Jonah Goldberg, The National Review)

"The Case for Israel" [by "Palestinians are Nazis" Alan Dershowitz, G.A.] is indispensable reading for those of us who are deeply disturbed by the rise of anti-Semitism in American society, even on college campuses. ( Henry Louis Gates, book blurb, JTA)
