Episodes
The world thinks Jews control everything. What if it’s the opposite?
One of the most successful propaganda campaigns of the modern era has convinced millions (billions?) of people that the real masters of propaganda are “the Zionists.” It is a remarkable inversion.
Israel is trying something unprecedented with brain cancer.
After decades of dead ends, Israeli researchers are working on a new way to attack one of the world’s deadliest tumors.
Jews are allowed to fight back.
There is nothing un-Jewish about defeating those who seek to destroy us.
The Delusion of a Palestinian State
The problem is not that Palestinians have never been given a chance to govern themselves. It is what happened when they were.
Antizionism unites people who disagree on almost everything.
They disagree about religion, capitalism, gender, democracy, and almost everything else — but somehow, “the Jews” still bring them together.
I learned to love Israel after it disappointed me.
We cannot truly love a country because it never lets us down. We should love it because we still choose it even and especially when it does.
Israel’s next great threat may not be Iran.
The Israelis and Turks were once allies. Syria could make them direct enemies.
Soviets taught the West to hate Israel.
The Soviet Union’s most successful export wasn’t communism. It was anti-Zionism.
Sometimes, peace is the wrong objective — and war is preferable.
The goal should not be to stop every war, but to create the conditions that make the next one unlikely.
A Mostly True History of Israel's Largest Political Party
Likud’s dominance was never inevitable. Neither is its survival.
I never thought I'd wear a Star of David.
For 20 years, I tried not to be the Israeli in the room. October 7th reminded me why I was wrong.
Jewish anti-Zionism is really about rejection and vulnerability.
The most revealing part of Jewish anti-Zionism is not what it opposes, but what it is trying to escape.
The Gaza War Everyone Thinks They Understand
One of the most documented wars in history may also be one of the most misunderstood.
Israel may have found a new way to fight ALS.
ALS has resisted nearly every treatment thrown at it. Now, an Israeli company is on the verge of solving it.
When my heart broke, Judaism gave me hope.
I went looking for a way to overcome heartbreak — and Judaism offered me a beautiful way to process it.
The Biggest Mistake Jews Make About Israel
The problem is not that Israel has failed to be perfect. It is that we expected perfection in the first place.
They remember the Holocaust, but forgot its lesson.
If the Holocaust cannot teach people to reject terrorism against Jews today, we need to ask what our societies are teaching. “Never Again” is a moral doctrine, not a slogan with political exceptions.
I refuse to die before I am dead.
Antisemitism threatens Jewish lives, but the greater danger is allowing it to determine how Jewish those lives are.
The Gaza Board of BS
You cannot build peace while the people who built the machinery of war still have leverage over what comes next.
Judaism’s Answer to Life Moving Too Fast
Today marks the beginning of Elul, the final Hebrew month before the Jewish new year — but it is so much more.
Israel is not something Jews support. It is who we are.
The attempt to separate Judaism from Israel misunderstands something fundamental about what it means to be Jewish.
The 'progressive' framework didn’t fail the Jews. It worked as planned.
October 7th did not expose a contradiction in "progressive" ideology. It revealed the ideology operating exactly as designed.
The Most Jewish Company Ever Created
Israel has many famous companies. None tells the Jewish story quite like EL AL.
A two-state solution will not solve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Two states will not end a war about one state — because borders cannot solve an ideological war.
It's time to admit the Palestinians lost.
The best chance for "Palestine" is to stop trying to destroy Israel.
The Jewish Threat Nobody Talks About
The Jewish People know how to survive, but do we know how to live?
Politicians are rediscovering the power of a Jewish enemy.
Antisemitism has always been more than hatred. It is also a remarkably effective tool for building political victories.
We cannot memorialize our way to the Jewish future.
We have mastered the art of remembering dead Jews while neglecting the journeys that strengthen living ones.
Anti-Zionism has become a global hallucination.
The Jews “poisoned the wells.” Now the Jewish state apparently controls migrants. Every crisis still needs the same familiar scapegoat.
An Open Letter to Jews Embarrassed by Judaism and Israel
Jewish pride is not arrogance, Zionism is not shameful, and belonging to your own people does not require an apology.
Jewish history is being rewritten as 'Palestinian'.
Ancient Jewish sites are deliberately being relabeled, absorbed, and archived as "Palestinian heritage" — while the institutions overseeing the erasure accuse Israel of "occupation."
Israel is winning the war that the West ceded.
Wars dominate the headlines, but maternity wards are quietly deciding the future of nations.
Hamas disarmament is a scam.
Hamas will never disarm. It will only rebrand.
The Greatest Jewish Heist Story You’ve Never Heard
This is the tale of a group of young pioneers who risked death to secretly manufacture the bullets that the young State of Israel would need to survive.
Boycotting Israel is now costing lives.
Israel leads the world in cancer prevention — but now, "activists" are blocking the very research, screening systems, and medical knowledge that could save patients worldwide.
Iran's Art of the Deal(ay)
The Islamist strategy is not to win every battle. It is to remain standing when the negotiations end.
'Palestine' is no longer about Palestinians.
The people who claim to support "Palestine" need Palestinians to keep suffering in perpetuity.
What It Means to Be a Good Jew
We are not required to preserve every custom exactly as it was practiced before us — but we are required to receive and transmit this inheritance.
An Open Letter to Today's Young Jews
You are not living at the end of the Jewish story. You are living in one of its greatest chapters.
Jewish terrorism is not the issue.
When Jews commit violence, it becomes an indictment of Zionism. When Arabs commit violence, it becomes a conversation about context. See the difference?
Stop making excuses for anti-Zionism.
The problem is not that anti-Zionism criticizes Israel. It is what anti-Zionism ultimately demands.
The most dangerous part of Israel’s upcoming election is not the result.
The greatest danger is not the next coalition, but the ammunition we may hand our enemies along the way.
The Questions People Are Afraid to Ask Jews
When people stop asking Jews questions, antisemites supply the answers.
The Forgotten Formula for Middle East Peace
A former Israeli prime minister knew that lasting peace is built one agreement at a time, not through grand regional bargains that demand Israel surrender first.
How to Talk to Pro-Palestinians — A Guide
Facts alone rarely penetrate this structure because facts are processed through the identity they threaten. The more politically useful the belief, the more psychologically defended it becomes.
The Truth Behind Humanitarian Aid in Gaza
No amount of aid can guarantee food security if humanitarian organizations are obstructed, supplies are diverted, or aid workers are threatened.
Everyone is indigenous, unless they are Jews.
Israel is the only country expected to undo history.
The Answers to Hard Questions About Jewish Intermarriage
Ideally, Jews should marry Jews. But when they do not, the Jewish story does not have to end.
Jewish blood says Jerusalem.
Exile changed Jewish culture, but it did not change Jewish origins.
The Israeli Occupation That Must End
Israel disrupts a long-established moral image of the Jew. For many Western observers, this is aesthetically offensive. They prefer the Jew as moral witness, not political actor.
Jews were the original Palestinians.
The modern "Palestinian" identity was invented for the explicit purpose to destroy the Jewish state.
Too many Jews have a dangerous habit of apologizing for self-defense.
Someone needs to say it: The preservation of Palestinian comfort is not morally superior to the preservation of Jewish life.
The Ancient Islamic Theology Behind Modern Anti-Zionism
The rejection of Jewish sovereignty did not begin with the modern State of Israel. It is rooted in a centuries-old struggle over revelation, legitimacy, and who inherits the biblical story.
Israel exists — and we must not take that for granted.
Jews longed for Jerusalem for 2,000 years. Now we risk forgetting it.
New York's mayor has a really weird obsession with Israel.
The point was never to enforce the law. It was to show his Jew-hating supporters what a "tough guy" the mayor of New York City thinks he is.
How Liberals Screwed Themselves
Liberals did not betray Jews by caring about Palestinians. They betrayed Jews by deciding they could not care about both.
Jews should stop being so proud of arguing.
The Talmud teaches Jews how to disagree — yet we remembered the arguing and forgot the humility.
Israel finally stopped believing the West's most dangerous illusions.
Israelis are not becoming less Western. They are becoming less naive.
The Buenos Aires bombing was a warning the world ignored.
Thirty-two years after 85 people were murdered at a Jewish community center, Iran and Hezbollah are still exporting terror — and the world is still struggling to confront them.
Orthodox Jews have a lot to teach us.
Orthodox Jewish communities have built their lives around obligation, family, education, and continuity. The rest of us should pay attention.
I went to an anti-Israel dinner party. It did not go as planned.
They described it as “a safe space for difficult conversations.” What they really wanted was an Israeli who would sit quietly and confess.
Five of the Most Jewish Ways to Say 'I Love You'
The most powerful Jewish expressions of love often never use the words “I love you.”
The Strange Connection Between Antisemitism and Argentina
To radical ideologues, Jews and Argentines commit the same unforgivable sin.
Is Netanyahu a threat to regional peace?
Arab leaders say Israel's prime minister blocks peace. What they really mean is stability on their terms.
The West Bank is an anti-Israel prop for Western politicians.
In their versions of the West Bank, not a single Palestinian makes a choice. They are only shown as victims, there to be pitied and filmed. And no Israeli is shown as a real person.
The Palestinians' Never-Ending War Against Jewish History
First they deny our history. Then they build over it.
Israel education has failed us, but there is a fix.
Jews teach Israel as a historical necessity, a geopolitical argument, and an emergency shelter. We rarely teach it as a place overflowing with things that Jews of all kinds might actually enjoy.
Israel is not an escape. It is a strategy.
"Aliyah" cannot eliminate antisemitism, but it can give Jews the strength, sovereignty, and agency to confront it.
'Jews control America' makes hatred feel heroic.
The lies work by turning Jewish participation into domination, Jewish success into guilt, and antisemitism into resistance.
That One Time Israel Tried to Help Gaza
The “open-air prison” fiction leaves out some crucial facts about an agreement that never came to fruition.
The Mamdanization of America's Left
Britain dismissed Jewish fears until antisemitism consumed the Labour Party. American Democrats are beginning the same experiment.
Jews are accused of 'colonialism' — but we are the least colonial people on earth.
Make it make sense: A people who never sought to convert the world are now accused of trying to conquer it.
The next Zionist revolution will not be in Israel.
The Jewish state is alive and well. The question now is whether we can become the kind of diaspora Jews strong enough to carry it forward.
The world is changing. Israel must change faster.
The Islamic Republic of Iran is deceiving, Europe is sermonizing, America is wavering, and Israel must build the power to stand alone when necessary.
Apparently, Jews are not allowed to mourn our dead anymore.
October 7th did not only reveal Hamas’s cruelty. It revealed how uncomfortable so much of the world becomes when Jews ask for simple human empathy.
Everyone wants Jewish unity. Far fewer are willing to do what unity requires.
We do not need to agree on everything to act like one people. But we do need to stop mistaking judgment for wisdom.
Israel has become something its founders never expected.
A century later, the Jewish state has fulfilled the Zionist vision — while overturning many assumptions behind it.
Hamas is not giving up power. It is rebranding.
The guns, tunnels and fighters remain. Only the name on the door has changed.
The Crucial Difference Between Jewish and Muslim Child Education
Most Jews teach their children knowledge, education, and the importance of being a contributing member to societies around them. Many Muslims teach their children to worship suffering.
Saving Jewish lives now requires an apology.
Fifty years ago, Israel was celebrated for refusing to abandon its hostages. Today, even Jewish relief comes with a moral disclaimer.
