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
“Pro-Palestinian” is like the term “family values” in the 1980s and 1990s. It sounds harmless. But in reality, it is not.
In a world where entities do not come close to agreeing on the so-called “rules of the game,” international law cannot be valid. Indeed, it is not.
Anyone who wishes to see a stable and safe Middle East needs to stand against Iran’s axis of evil, and support Israel’s fight against Iran and its proxies — in Yemen, in Gaza, in Lebanon, everywhere.
Dr. Tal Becker, a would-be peace maker and advocate of power, has an urgent message for Jews across the world.

To end a particular situation you have to find out what is causing it and then remove the cause.
While many Democrats are truly well-intentioned, their foreign policies and general views of other countries are typically more aligned with idealism that is irrelevant in the Middle East.
When we accurately view the Western “pro-Palestine” movement not as a serious campaign for justice, but rather as a masturbatory exercise in virtue exhibitionism, the pieces begin to click into place…
