Our mission is simple, and hopefully worthwhile: to help everyone better understand and become smarter about Judaism, Israel, and the Jewish world. In addition to our podcast, you’re invited to check out our digital publication: www.futureofjewish.com
That's the lesson of Purim, a Jewish holiday celebrated this week to commemorate the saving of the Jews from genocide in ancient Persia.
I hate to break it to you, but Israel isn’t “stolen land.” Every nation was built on war. Here's the history and lessons they won't teach you.
For the last 40 years or so, the West has thought entirely in terms of individual rights and not in terms of collective responsibilities.
The Anti-Israel Propaganda Network includes the usual suspects — Hamas, the Muslim Brotherhood, Iran, and Qatar — but it doesn’t end there.
Sometimes Jewish trauma is weaponized against Jews. Other times it's raised as a prop for "social justice." Where is the empathy for actual Jewish persons?
The U.S. recently holding direct talks with Hamas, unprecedented in nature, is yet another example of Westerners making the Israeli-Palestinian conflict worse, not better.
Some 98 percent of reporters cite casualty figures fabricated by Hamas. Only five percent mention Israeli data. Jihadi propaganda has gone global.
Israel is not a cause. It’s a country. It exists so that Jews — real, breathing, imperfect, wonderful Jews — have unapologetic control of our own destiny.
If the Jews of 1898 — who were fleeing persecution in Europe — could push Islam back (which they did), it signified an intolerable theological disaster of Islamic weakness.
Accusing a country of genocide — the gravest crime humanity has defined — has real-world consequences. This isn’t just rhetoric; it’s jet fuel for a global surge in Jew-hate.
The claim that "Zionism is colonialism" is a falsehood that leads to more conflict.
American negotiations with Hamas, unprecedented in nature, should infuriate Israelis. But more than that, they should inspire us to rethink what real independence means.
The Jewish People have forgotten how to be a people, but that doesn’t need to last forever.
The emerging Right-wing “love affair” with Israel is no coincidence. It reflects a deep ideological realignment that goes far beyond Israel itself, exposing what the Left has become.
“A people who will persevere in war beyond a certain limit ought to know the consequences.”
Of the many reviews of the newly Oscar-winning documentary “No Other Land,” none of them even hint at the facts. The film is pure propaganda meant to incite people to hate Israel.
Middle East expert Daniel Pipes delivers a profound and piercing reality check: Israel has not won because it has never pursued outright victory.
I propose that those who accuse Zionists of “settler psychosis” actually suffer from “folie antisémite à plusieurs,” an antisemitic group delusional disorder.
The terror group thought it could manipulate history. Now Israel is using Hamas' own tactics to defeat these Islamist barbarians.
With this awakening, again, of antisemitism, I called a survivor of Auschwitz and two death marches at the ripe age of 14. I felt a need to speak with him.
