Liberals Agree, Israel is Greatest Thing Since Sliced Challah

By Shalom Goldman

…he settlements, appear to love them no more.” Thus if negotiations between Israelis and Palestinians break down, Israel is off the hook since “the truth is more complicated.” Its citizens’ intentions, in any case, are in the right place (they love the settlements no more!) and all is well with the world—in this particular worldview anyway. Immediately following the list of what’s not wrong with (and what is right about) Israel, Goldberg writes: “I…

For Many Christian Zionists, Israeli Protesters are a Threat to God’s Plan

By Aidan Orly

…ide into outright authoritarianism. As the protests have grown, however, a number of Israel’s Christian allies have grown frantic at the discord while calling on their followers to pray for the unity of the Israeli people. Some of these Christian Zionist leaders even blame “liberal” Israeli protesters—and their supposed foreign “deep-state” funders—for widening rifts that threaten the security of the Jewish State which, they believe, plays an inte…

American Conservatives, Jewish Law, and Israel’s New Abortion Policy

By Sarah Posner

…lique,” does not “represent the interests of the Jewish People, be they in Israel or the Diaspora.” While I was in Akko, Israel, interviewing Guy Cohen, the Messianic Jewish leader of Harvest of Asher, Cohen introduced me to the counselor at his ministry’s crisis pregnancy center. It is stocked with diapers and baby supplies, as you might see at a US crisis pregnancy center, on which these are obviously modeled, but there are no clients. “She is a…

With Christian Schools At Risk In Israel, Crickets from American Christian Conservatives

By Sarah Posner

…ased on a shared recognition of God’s “plan for Israel.” The “support” for Israel might explain why Israel is exempt from these activists’ claims about infringements of religious liberty at home and around the world. Israel is so important—part of God’s plan—that drawing attention to any mistreatment of Christians in the Holy Land is off the table. Last year, FRC’s Perkins wrote about the persecution of Christians around the world—granted, much of…

‘Anti-Zionism = Antisemitism’ isn’t Just Wrong, It’s the Problem

By Shaul Magid

…rity in America, which is not very good for Israel. We can see this by the numbers of native Israelis, increasingly part of a globalized economy, who move to the U.S., or Berlin, or Amsterdam, something Ben Gurion could never have quite imagined. A new phase of this project of post-religion Jewish identity is to make Israel/Zionism the centerpiece of Jewishness. And thus, if you challenge Israel/Zionism, for whatever reason, you are antisemitic be…

On The Kerry Apartheid Comment and the Cycle of Chutzpah

By Sarah Posner

…the values to which Israel is committed, and concern for the well being of Israel’s residents, whether Israeli or Palestinian, are noticeably absent from Fingerhut’s letter.” (Mention of the occupation is also absent.) Na’aman concludes: I don’t doubt Fingerhut’s genuine concern for Israel. I am sure those who called for the event’s cancellation are also sincerely dedicated to my country. But their concern does not protect Zionism. Rather, it thre…

Why Antisemitism is an Insufficient (and Risky) Explanation for Hamas’s October 7 Attack on Israel

By Shane Burley

…i identity becomes synonymous with Jewishness, and therefore the attack on Israel/Israelis is, categorically, an attack on Jews, which reinforces the notion that Israel is the center of the Jewish people. On October 25th, the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) and Louis D. Brandeis Center for Human Rights Under the Law demanded that universities investigate Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) over their alleged support for Hamas and antisemitism at…

Mile-High Identity Politics: What We Can Learn From the Same-Sex Seating Controversy

By Eboo Patel

…, not the fourth century … You’re not free to practice your religion in my airline seat.’ ‘This is male entitlement .. the height of male arrogance.’ One comment referred to this as a ‘back of the bus’ issue; as in, women being asked to move in such circumstances was tantamount to assigning them a lesser status as citizens and lower dignity as human beings. Other readers proposed that airlines set aside special seating for men requiring such accom…

Peter Beinart’s Controversial The Crisis of Zionism: Right Diagnosis, Wrong Treatment

By Shaul Magid

…litical courage, have no course of action aside from giving up altogether. Israelis can join Tayush, an Israeli-Palestinian organization that protects Palestinians against settler violence, or join the protests every Friday in the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood in Jerusalem. Diaspora Jews can boycott the settlements, which does indeed serve a function for liberal American Jews, just not the one Beinart imagines. Second, when Beinart speak…

The Key to Understanding the Federalist Society Isn’t Originalism — It’s This 800-Year Old Tradition

By Peter Schwartz

…notions of “human dignity” and “human flourishing,” Catholic natural law—an 800-year-old tradition dating back to Thomas Aquinas—is a lens that offers utter clarity to conservative Catholic jurists, activists, policymakers, and scholars as they observe, describe, and engage the world. The power and sharpness of this lens allow them to confidently snap every human movement—every human desire and motive and act—into its divinely appointed and proper…
