Early Life

Ilana Mercer was born in South Africa.[3] Her father, a rabbi and "vocal opponent of apartheid,"[4][5] was "harassed by the South African security forces"[6] and, consequently, moved his family to Israel.[3] Later returning to the country of her birth, Mercer earned degrees at the University of South Africa, before immigrating to Canada and finally settling in the United States.[3]

Mercer's weekly column began in 1999, in the now defunct Canadian North Shore News.[7] The column currently appears on WorldNetDaily.com,[8] The Unz Review,[9] Townhall,[10] Constitution.com,[11] Quarterly Review,[12] and American Greatness.[13] A few of Mercer's syndicated columns have appeared on The Daily Caller,[14] American Thinker,[15] and American Renaissance.[16]
