Bill Kristol Addresses Algemeiner Editor’s Club
The Algemeiner Journal ‘Editor’s Club’ hosted William Kristol, conservative pundit and editor-in-chief of the Weekly Standard magazine, and Shahar Azani, Israel’s Consul for Media Affairs, to discuss ‘Israel, Jews and Modern media.’
Over seventy people gathered at an exclusive Upper East Side venue for the cocktail reception in support of the Algemeiner and its parent Gershon Jacobson Foundation.
“The media’s take of Israel is no longer a dictatorship,” said Azani, who was introduced by Editor’s Club chair Barry Schiffman, “the gatekeepers have become weaker and weaker.” He Praised the Algemeiner’s use of the democratized content model as the key “to creating a community” around content and ideas
Honorary Chairman Neil Book referred to the Algemeiner as “a great agent for truth,” as he introduced William Kristol as someone who has championed that mission.
Kristol expressed optimism over the current media environment saying, “the ability to correct lies and to educate people,” has been enhanced through the growth of the “modern media structure.” He praised the Algemeiner as “a very important part” of this development especially as it relates to Jews and Israel.

Dovid, the “yes”es and the Shloime Freundlichs [what a misnamed person! No shalom, and no friendliness] of the world are simply incapable of accepting that anyone might think differently than they do. Put such people into a position with any kind of power, and they will promptly outlaw any opinion other than their own – all the while claiming that they are promoting democracy and freedom, and that those who oppose their ideas are enemies of the public.
In other words, the Big Lie technique used to such effect by their ideological forebears, the Communists – and yes, by the National Socialists (better known as Nazis) too.

Shlomie perhaps it would be best if you actually understood what fascism was as oppose to use names. Mussolini was a pragmatic socialist and his policies he called the 3rd way. As was Hitler’s economic policies based upon nationalism and socialism. Hitler campaign against the banks. But you have yet to give any intellectual basis for calling Bill Kristol whose policy specifically in the foreign policy arena has been to expand freedom and not to restrict freedom.
