Christopher Nolan's "Oppenheimer" is a striking tale of a man who leaves the Left because of the betrayals of Stalinism. The film is also a warning about where lesser evilism in the face of the Far Right can lead us.

Is the Golden Age of American Jews Ending? No, but Liberal Zionism Is Breaking Down.

Writing for The Atlantic, Franklin Foer purports to find rising antisemitism "on the right and the left." What actually concerns him is that "liberal" Zionism is no longer a thing. Young Jewish people are increasingly turning against Israel.
