The Telegraph: Cambridge society cancels opera over ‘parallels’ to Israel and Hamas
Cambridge University's opera society cancelled a performance of Handel's Saul over perceived parallels to the Hamas attacks on Israel. The opera, based on a biblical tale of the relationship between King Saul and his successor David, was seen as having "striking synchronicity with the ongoing Middle East conflict." The decision was criticized by historians and a composer, with one professor calling it an extreme example of cancel culture. The cancellation comes amidst controversy at Cambridge, as the students' union has faced backlash for calling for a "mass uprising" to "free the Palestinian people."
The Economist: America’s House of Representatives finally has a speaker
Mike Johnson, a congressman from Louisiana, has been chosen as the new speaker for the House of Representatives after three previous nominees failed. He is a conservative who has shown support for right-wing causes and has been criticized for his voting record. Now, he must navigate the challenges of funding the government and passing important legislation while negotiating with Democrats. Republicans hope to avoid another embarrassing ordeal, but the possibility of a government shutdown looms. Meanwhile, President Biden has proposed a package of aid for allies, including Ukraine and Israel, and it remains to be seen how Republicans will respond to this request.
The Telegraph: Evil is real, and the West is in peril for forgetting that
The rise of anti-Semitism, particularly in relation to the conflict between Israel and Palestine, highlights the dangerous moral relativism of our age. Many young people justify acts of terrorism and exhibit a lack of sympathy for the Israelis, while social media platforms have become breeding grounds for old-fashioned anti-Semitism. This moral relativism stems from a failure to identify evil and a reluctance to defend Western values rooted in Christianity. To prevent further descent into moral ambiguity, we must acknowledge the origins of our freedoms and the threats they face.
Red State: The White House Has Become an Adult Daycare Center
With over a thousand slaughtered in Israel and hostages still held, Biden's focus is on appeasing the Muslim community, prioritizing "Islamophobia," while downplaying the atrocities committed by Hamas. Biden's speech was edited by Muslim-American officials to ensure their concerns were addressed. This prioritization of certain groups over others diminishes the suffering of those affected by the recent violence and undermines the pursuit of justice.
