I think 'Les Demoiselles D'Avignon' is one of the most transfixing paintings of all time. And it was made by a monster of a man.
Quote by -Bari Weiss
'Annie Hall' and 'The Graduate' are incredible films. Why should we be deprived of watching them because some of the men that made them are bad?
Quote by -Bari Weiss
I'd venture a bet that no American hates 'Prairie Home Companion' more than I do.
Quote by -Bari Weiss
Israel's highest aspiration may be to be a light among the nations, but it is also a normal nation, where regular people want to go about their business without a religious authority having a say.
Quote by -Bari Weiss
The Jewish state has so much to teach diaspora Jews about resilience, innovation, energy, and optimism.
Quote by -Bari Weiss
One area where American Jews have something to teach Israel is religious pluralism, something that living in a democracy with a separation between church and state has helped us fine-tune.
Quote by -Bari Weiss
In Israel, there is no civil marriage. All elements of religious life - from the kosher certification of food to conversion to marriages and burials - are controlled by the rabbinate. In Israel, then, the official religion is not just Judaism. It's Orthodoxy.
Quote by -Bari Weiss
The Heritage Foundation, by far the most influential think tank of the Trump era, is widely seen as a redoubt of Trumpism in large part because of the tremendous influence of the Mercers, who are major donors.
Quote by -Bari Weiss
At the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, a hawkish, nonpartisan research group, at least two people left over the way the think tank responded to Mr. Trump's election.
Quote by -Bari Weiss
Think tanks are chiefly supposed to provide independent expertise to policymakers. But they also seek to be politically relevant.
Quote by -Bari Weiss
Eminem knows that Republicans buy songs - his songs - too. His message to them is to stop buying.
Quote by -Bari Weiss
When Kendrick Lamar blasts Mr. Trump, he is preaching to the choir. When Eminem does it, there's a good chance Trump voters are actually listening.
Quote by -Bari Weiss
If you crave an anti-new year New Year, consider adopting Rosh Hashana as your own.
Quote by -Bari Weiss
There's no question that I am biased toward the Hebrew calendar over the Gregorian one.
Quote by -Bari Weiss
One of my favorite things on YouTube is the famous 1965 debate between James Baldwin and William F. Buckley at Cambridge University.
Quote by -Bari Weiss
Britain beat us to the abolition of slavery; the Isle of Man, New Zealand, and Finland all decided to give women the vote well before the United States. Eventually, we got smart and borrowed these egalitarian innovations.
Quote by -Bari Weiss
Few of us doubt that stealing is wrong, especially from the poor. But the accusation of 'cultural appropriation' is overwhelmingly being used as an objection to syncretism - the mixing of different thoughts, religions, cultures, and ethnicities that often ends up creating entirely new ones.
Quote by -Bari Weiss
I haven't watched MTV's annual Video Music Awards since Bill Clinton was president. I was wearing a plastic choker, and Alanis Morissette won for 'Ironic.'
Quote by -Bari Weiss
I believe that babies should be vaccinated pretty much as soon as they exit the womb.
Quote by -Bari Weiss
Since Britain handed over jurisdiction of its former colony to China 20 years ago, the city has operated under the notion of 'one country, two systems.' That increasingly appears to be an empty slogan.
Quote by -Bari Weiss
Dwayne Betts is the kind of man who should be receiving awards from the Connecticut bar. Instead, he hasn't been admitted.
Quote by -Bari Weiss
China may brutalize Buddhists in Tibet and Muslims in Xinjiang while denying basic rights to the rest of its 1.3 billion citizens, but 'woke' activists pushing intersectionality keep mum on all that.
Quote by -Bari Weiss
Victimhood, in the intersectional way of seeing the world, is akin to sainthood; power and privilege are profane.
Quote by -Bari Weiss
In practice, intersectionality functions as kind of caste system, in which people are judged according to how much their particular caste has suffered throughout history.
Quote by -Bari Weiss
Has there ever been a crisper expression of the consequences of 'intersectionality' than a ban on Jewish lesbians from a Dyke March?
Quote by -Bari Weiss
Mr. Trump had campaigned on attacking the weakest and most vulnerable in our society.
Quote by -Bari Weiss
The leaders of the Women's March, arguably the most prominent feminists in the country, have some chilling ideas and associations. Far from erecting the big tent so many had hoped for, the movement they lead has embraced decidedly illiberal causes and cultivated a radical tenor that seems determined to alienate all but the most woke.
Quote by -Bari Weiss
Donald Trump's election was a watershed moment. Even those like me, who had previously pulled levers for candidates of both parties, felt that Mr. Trump had not only violated all sense of common decency, but, alarmingly, that he seemed to have no idea that there even existed such an unspoken code of civility and dignity.
Quote by -Bari Weiss
Conservatives are often fond of La Rochefoucauld's famous aphorism that 'Hypocrisy is a tribute that vice pays to virtue,' and so tend to downplay hypocrisy as a sin. But in the marketplace of ideas they champion, hypocrisy may yet turn out to be the deadliest - or costliest - of sins.
Quote by -Bari Weiss
Reasonable people can debate whether or not social experiments like a Day of Absence are enlightening.
Quote by -Bari Weiss
Shutting down conservatives has become de rigueur. But now anti-free-speech activists are increasingly turning their ire on free-thinking progressives.
Quote by -Bari Weiss
Liberals shouldn't cede the responsibility to defend free speech on college campuses to conservatives. After all, without free speech, what's liberalism about?
Quote by -Bari Weiss
Tel Aviv was established in 1909 by a group of secular Jewish families; Judaism's origin story is about 2,000 years older.
Quote by -Bari Weiss
To many American Jews, it is a truism that Barack Obama was the anti-Israel president. It was Mr. Obama who signed the Iran deal, which Israel portrayed as a mortal danger. It was Mr. Obama whose most contentious relationship with a foreign leader was with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Quote by -Bari Weiss
Who wants to live in a world where you can only stay in the lane of your birth?
