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
In a world that is easily manipulated and corrupted, history teaches us that the Jewish state must look out for itself and Jews across the world — and we Jews must be firmly grateful for it.
So many Westerners subscribe to the supreme notion of "linkage."
There are always “good reasons” to hate Jews. Today’s reason is Israel.
There are children in Israel, too.
The fact that something unjust happened to my grandparents or they were unjustly deprived of something does not automatically mean that I am owed anything.
“Palestine” is mostly a priority of Western leftists who harbor self-imposed guilt, as well as of poor Arabs who are unexcited about their lives.

Surely the Israeli abductees would still be incessantly top-of-mind — had we not been talking about the Jews.
Many feel they must choose between their interests as Jews and their interests as citizens. These used to be aligned, but have now diverged — as the West’s commitment to liberal decency has declined.
Against the backdrop of the Israel-Hamas war, it is well-known that children make up nearly half of Gaza’s population. The reasons why might surprise you.
Israelis would love the world's support as we sacrifice the lives, families, careers, and mental health of thousands of our own people to eradicate pure evil on our border. But we do not need it.
