The Future of Jewish

Today marks the start of the holiday that transformed freedom into purpose — and created the foundations of Jewish civilization.

As the old integrationist dream weakens, many Western Jews will increasingly need to rediscover the strength of family, community, and peoplehood — cornerstones of the Sephardic Jewish experience.

Contrary to what many Western pundits want us to believe, the Strait of Hormuz is not Iran's forever weapon. The Iranian regime can threaten Hormuz, but it cannot stop the future.

For centuries, Jews have been told to justify themselves in exchange for belonging. But what if the real problem was the assumption that Jews must always stand trial in the first place?

The tragedy is that many Jew-haters would rather invent fantasies about Jewish success than adopt the habits, values, attitudes, and behaviors that helped Jews endure history in the first place.

The mounting pressure on Israelis has moved far beyond the Jewish state's borders.

From Mossad sharks to “rape dogs,” conspiracy theories about Israelis are migrating from the Middle East into mainstream Western discourse.

What happened on Saturday in Vienna is one of the most revealing political events in Europe this year.

The largest Jewish community in Europe is shrinking as antisemitism, Islamist violence, and institutional denial drive thousands to question whether modern-day France is safe for Jews.

As anti-Jewish extremism surged after October 7th, New York's leadership has increasingly aligned itself with Islamist political networks.

As Jew-hatred becomes increasingly rationalized and normalized, America's moral architecture is beginning to crack.

"Anti-Zionism" — as told through the narrative of "The Nakba" — transformed a forever grievance into a moral framework that shaped much of the world's response to October 7th, Israel, and Zionism.

The most dangerous antisemitic propaganda is not the kind shouted from the fringes, but the kind presented with institutional authority, moral seriousness, and the tone of careful reporting.

Those watching the ceasefire negotiations and concluding that the conflict is winding down are misreading the situation in ways that carry real analytical consequence.

One of America's most influential newspapers continues to launder ideology through “opinion,” amplify unverified narratives, and disguise antisemitism as journalism.

When “Zionist” becomes culturally understood shorthand for something sinister, Hollywood no longer needs explicit antisemitism. The implication does the work.

A tiny country with no strategic depth built one of the world's most secretive and disciplined nuclear deterrents — to make “Never Again” a strategic reality.

In today's "progressive" foreign-policy imagination, Iranian aggression is contextual, Israeli deterrence is provocative, and the Jewish state is always at fault.

Familiar cognitive shortcuts, social reinforcement, and emotional reasoning shape distorted beliefs about Jews and Israel — without always requiring malicious intent.

Modern antisemitism is not a misunderstanding to be clarified, but a movement to be confronted, exposed, and defeated.

Rachel Goldberg-Polin's devastating memoir about her kidnapped and murdered son, Hersh, reveals what happens when grief no longer fits inside the structures meant to contain it.

Long before 1967, before so-called “occupation,” and before the modern Jewish state even existed, the movement behind this slogan had already made its objective clear.

American Jews are more vulnerable in our own country today than ever in our lifetime. And it's not just the United States. The problem is global.

What if antisemitism survives not because it makes sense, but because it protects people from confronting themselves?

These past two years have taught me that the necessity for the IDF is ever-prevalent, but they have also reinforced something else.

Treating the Islamic Republic of Iran and its proxies like ordinary political actors blinds the West to the growing threat in front of us.

Somewhere along the way, "tikkun olam" stopped being a Jewish concept and started becoming a “progressive” yard sign with Hebrew seasoning.

What looks like a new connection is actually the reemergence of a 2,500-year-old relationship — one now resurfacing as more Iranians begin to question the ideology that tried to erase it.

Success came with an unspoken condition: Contribute everywhere, quietly. But over time, that bargain blurred Jewish identity into the background until others began rewriting our story entirely.

Fire, mysticism, and survival collide in a holiday that slipped out of mainstream Jewish consciousness, especially in the diaspora.

Early antagonists of Zionism acknowledged Jewish roots in the Holy Land. Today, haters deny them outright.

Long before the 20th century, ancient Jewish texts recognized what much of the modern West still refuses to accept: Not every enemy can be reasoned with.

What feels like “the world falling apart” is often the end of an illusion.

It's worth asking whether criticism on its own is as meaningful as many people believe it to be.

Antisemitism, the oldest hatred, is thriving by speaking the language of modern culture.

A government effort to combat anti-Jewish hatred collapses when those shaping it platform anti-Jewish narratives, misdiagnose its sources, and ignore the forces driving it.

Condemnation is the only thing your government has produced at the scale this moment requires.

Most people mean well, but good intentions aren't enough. Here's what actually makes a difference for your Jewish family members, friends, and colleagues.

For Jews whose families were exiled from this region, the existence of a Persian Gulf state that defends Israel with our soldiers on its soil is something close to a miracle.

One cannot make the argument that Israel is "colonial" in good faith. It can only be made by deciding, in advance, that certain people — namely Jews — do not count.

Incentives in media and politics are turning outrage about Jews into a profitable system that rewards antisemitism, turning it into a vicious cycle at scale.

When leaders hold the Jewish state to standards applied to no one else, moral posturing becomes a mask for something far uglier.

What was once senseless violence is now a calculated strategy to manipulate emotions, media, and global opinion.

Left-wing media outlets habitually stir up outrage and polarization, and then act dumbfounded when it produces real-world consequences like violence, shootings, and death.

The threat didn't disappear; it evolved. So must our response.

The fracture is internal, the pressure is financial, and the outcome is only a matter of time.

A system that constantly reclassifies Jews reveals far more about power than prejudice.

No political camp is going to end the Jewish condition. Every coalition contains the logic by which Jews can be useful, suspect, defended, and discarded in rapid succession.

A legal term rooted in Holocaust-era accountability has been repurposed in contemporary discourse to delegitimize Jewish sovereignty while bypassing evidentiary standards.

What looks like distancing is actually forcing Israel to accelerate its independence, strengthen its defenses, and become more self-reliant in ways decades of alliance politics delayed.

The Jewish state's shift from a shared national story to a society shaped by multiple identities doesn't signal failure. If anything, it signals progress.
