The Future of Jewish

In a year of exponential hardship, these people chose courage.

Bari Weiss has become an endless pop culture target for being independent, telling the truth, speaking courageously, and refusing to apologize for her Jewish and Zionist identity.

Challenging the old “rules-based international order,” they're turning diplomacy on its head and confronting threats much of the West has long ignored.

With resurgent antisemitism sweeping the world and Israel in the diplomatic firing lines, it's easy to lose sight of this — but the Jewish nation is stronger now than at any point in its long history.

Treating politics like religion, and vice versa, is why so many of us keep getting frustrated and disappointed, and why our societies are becoming weaker.

I'm Irish, and I refuse to be silent about Ireland's Jew-hatred.

Misrepresenting Jesus' true origins isn't just historical revisionism; it's part of a broader campaign of disinformation that distorts facts, fuels conflict, and reshapes perceptions of reality.

From formal education to pop culture, a skyrocketing wave of anti-Jewish sentiment is reshaping young minds and eroding America in the process.

While many people in the West feel embarrassed by their own countries, Israelis carry deep-seated pride rooted in history, responsibility, and a clear-eyed understanding of reality.

A childhood of multicultural harmony gave way to silence, betrayal, and the harsh truth of conditional belonging.

Jewish immigration to Israel, and Israeli emigration from it, is actually a sign that Zionism has been a great success.

A holiday that isn't ours still reveals plenty about Jews and Jewish life, then and now.

History is unambiguous: When Jews no longer feel safe, the society around them is already in serious trouble.

They aren't about territory, resources, or politics. They're about faith, civilization, and moral frameworks much of the West doesn't understand.

And still, this unspoken bargain continues to trade Jewish safety for sociopolitical convenience.

Hate doesn't stop being hate because it sounds “progressive.” This isn't activism; it's anti-Jewish obsession, and it's growing more dangerous by the day.

The question is no longer whether Jews relate to the Jewish state, but how that relationship is lived, argued, and sustained.

Far too many people (including Jews) do not know enough about Jewish history, and it is quickly becoming an existential issue.

I grew up liberal. Then reality happened.

In the West Bank, ongoing violence against Jews requires "context," while Jewish violence is disproportionately the focus — because few people understand the facts on the ground.

This is not the best time to be liked as a Jew, but it may be the best time to be one.

Terrorism is not a "weapon of the poor." If poverty causes terrorism, the evidence would look very different.

An IDF general ranks towns near the West Bank as more dangerous than the Gaza border, and residents of the area continue to express urgent concern that they are increasingly vulnerable to terrorism.

This is not to say that Jews should abandon ethics. On the contrary. But when one distorts “trying to be good” into a narcissistic pathology, one is in fact no longer being ethical.

Officials are blaming ISIS, which seems like a convenient scapegoat that shields state actors from consequences which could result in another Middle East war.

Hanukkah was never meant to be a comfortable holiday, because nothing terrifies the world more than dignified Jews who unapologetically defend themselves. All Jews today must prepare to do the same.

Because blaming Jews has always been easier than facing reality.

Too many people think antisemitism is a kind of social illness. In reality, both today and historically, it's an instrument of power, and Diaspora Jewry's only real response is to reclaim it.

A Hanukkah massacre reveals the cost of trading Jewish power for acceptance, but Hanukkah reminds us: If we do not develop the habits of power, we will be left with the habits of fear.

Your woeful actions suggest a problem far greater than incompetence or cynical political expediency. These are the actions of someone who does not know right from wrong, or good from evil.

As if we needed another painful reminder like Sunday's horrifying terror attack near Sydney, the era of relying on outside protection for Diaspora Jews is over.

If we want to be intellectually and historically accurate, then we must admit: The concept of "Tikkun Olam" in its modern form is not Jewish at all.

"The West Bank" is a political invention. Judea and Samaria are the historical truth.

And it begins in Washington.

We ask ourselves why there is so much misinformation and polarization today, but the answer is apparent to anyone paying attention: the toxic combination of arrogance and ignorance.

When Judaism becomes overly personal, the Jewish People become increasingly fragile.

We are one people. It's time Israel treated us like the true partners we want to be.

In response to international boycotts masquerading as principle, a creative renaissance is reshaping Israeli identity, driven by artists, innovators, and a society refusing to lose its soul.

The West will not lose its Jews in one dramatic moment. It will lose them through a slow drip of insult, a steady rise in fear, and a growing sense of no longer belonging.

The anti-Zionist movement turned the KKK code word "Zio" into a trendy insult — and most people have no idea.

Many people are surprised to see that Islam's foundational text affirms the Jewish historical and spiritual connection to the Land of Israel.

The most enduring lies about Jews come from those most determined to define us.

The United Nations, Cold War Soviet propaganda, and global media didn't just report a conflict; they created the language that shaped it.

The real problem isn't Israel or Zionism. It's whether Western civilization still matters.

Hebrew isn't just a language. It's Jewish identity, society, history, faith, culture, and soul.

As America deepens its involvement in Israel, Chanukah reminds us what happens when sovereignty is compromised.

A struggle for thousands of years between sanctity and survival still shapes how Jews fight, doubt, and define our power.

The smile tells you that, even if you have every good reason to worry, you must not dare to. What looks like warmth and charisma is actually a tool to disarm scrutiny.

If we are striving for Jewish continuity, we need more than hope. We need classrooms.

"Palestinian" is a modern invention. Based on Arab, Jewish, and international scholarship, the historical record is quite clear.

Netanyahu's pardon request isn't desperation. Regardless of whether you like him as a political leader or agree with his politics, it's another masterful move from “The Magician.”
