Daniel Goldman Jerusalem Post, Aug. 20, 2023 “In a recent survey of religious Zionist and traditional Israelis, a majority agreed that the government is actually alienating the population from its Jewish identity. While we can’t easily associate a specific policy decision or legislative proposal that has triggered this response, we do know from previous polls […]
Rafi Demogge Mosaic Magazine, Aug. 3, 2023 “Most importantly for the question presently at issue: Jews are extremely politically polarized along self-ascribed secular vs. non-secular identities.” In my essay “The Looming War over Israel’s War of Return,” I predicted that Israel’s immigration regime would become increasingly controversial and politicized. I based this forecast on […]

Statement by PM Netanyahu: Prime Minister’s Office, July 25, 2023 — “Dear citizens of Israel, I would like to begin with the most moving scene that I have witnessed in the past 24 hours.

David M. Weinberg Israel Hayom, June 25, 2023 “For Israeli society, moral standards are clear.

Who Wants to Destroy Israel? You Might Be Surprised.: Guy Milliere, Gatestone Institute, May 15, 2023 — On April 17-18, Israel observed Holocaust Martyrs’ and Heroes’ Remembrance Day. Sirens sounded across the country while people stood for two minutes of silence in remembrance of six million Jews who had been murdered. ________________________________________________________ Israel at 75 Is Threatened but Strong: Walter Russell […]
Walter Russell Mead WSJ, May 15, 2023 “American policy toward Israel depends less on poll numbers than on how a given U.S. president sees American interests world-wide and where Israel and the Middle East fit into the administration’s global foreign policy.” It’s been 75 years since the Jewish community in British Palestine rejected a last-minute plea […]

For a Jew in America, the experience of going eight days without […]
Micah Halpern Jerusalem Post, May 2, 2023 “There is a reason for this stark disparity between the message and the reality. It is not simply a misread of the political agenda. It is a time-honored strategy of how to motivate and how to raise money for “the cause.” On Tuesday April 25, when the […]
Elliot Abrams Council on Foreign Affairs, May 9, 2023 ”Their claim that Israel, because it is a Jewish state, “fosters a form of ethnic nationalism” is akin to their claim about apartheid: they don’t quite have the courage of their convictions and do not say what their article logically leads to—the belief that Zionism is […]
