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
"All we Israelis want is a permanent peace. Not another temporary ceasefire. We've had enough of those."
And a humanitarian crisis, while disheartening, is not anywhere near the same as genocide or ethnic cleansing.
To the extent that we see every conflict as a battle between innocent victims and cruel victimizers, we will gloss over the moral complexities of reality.
Yes, you read that correctly.
When it comes to the Jewish People and Israel, folks tend to trust their (misguided) feelings over concrete facts.
When it is the Jews in question, people use social media to post about their skincare routine, what they ate for lunch or, even worse, an ill-timed ceasefire.
America's "extraordinary opportunity" for the Jewish state, Red Cross military gear marked as "humanitarian aid," amazing advice on balancing left-wing views and supporting Israel, and so much more.
Not the Palestinians and their various leadership groups, not the Israelis, not the Middle East and North Africa, not the United Nations, not even the U.S. and the European Union. No one.
There is an elephant in the room that hates Jews, aims to kill infidels, and keeps screaming "Allah is the greatest!"

Even in Israel, this land of the living, there is so much death. Even in every pure soul, there is the potential for evil.
"I am not antisemitic. I like Jewish people. I just don't like Zionists."
What would the U.S. administration’s Gaza “policy” look like?
The virtues of free speech are suddenly so celebrated, when the speech in question threatens us Jews.
How did Haaretz go from the preeminent source for all-things Israel, to an anti-Zionist, anti-Jewish sham?
Intentionally, Palestinian terrorists attacked Israel on one of the most joyous days of the Jewish year. Now, Israelis are starting to bounce back from one of the country’s all-time lows.
The Palestinian narrative is rooted in a bizarre double-sided coin: denial of Jewish history and appropriation of it.
“In the old days, the police knew whom to watch. Now it could come from anywhere.”
The decolonization and self-determination movements they champion only matter for minority, persecuted groups not named “the Jews.”
Palestinian leadership has steadily co-opted and weaponized every type of antisemitism that could advance their political interests.
