To fight antisemitism, first grasp where it comes from
To effectively combat antisemitism, we must first understand its origins. Although there are no ghettos, pogroms, or openly antisemitic European governments today, the recent rise in anti-Jewish hatred—such as the knife attack on two Jewish men in London on April 29—takes on a form specific to the 21st century. Nevertheless, the anti-Semitic mindset and the dangers facing Jews worldwide—and beyond—are alarmingly familiar.

Prolonged or inconclusive wars are considered detrimental to these strategic aims.

America is vulnerable to electoral vandalism
Trust in the fairness of elections in the United States is declining, making the political system more vulnerable to instability. At the same time, doubts about electoral integrity are increasing, which contributes to greater political and social polarization.

America wakes up to AI’s dangerous power
SHOULD A HANDFUL of men be entrusted with the world’s most potent new technology? Five geeks so famous that they can be identified by their first names—Dario, Demis, Elon, Mark and Sam—exercise almost godlike command over the artificial-intelligence models that will shape the future. The Trump administration has stood aside even as those models have gained jaw-dropping capabilities, convinced that unfettered competition between private firms is the best way to ensure America wins the AI race against China.

How to end the war in Iran
BE GRATEFUL FOR small mercies. The ceasefire between America and Iran may be extended. Talks that began in Islamabad last weekend may soon resume.
