Why Does Ireland Hate Israel So Much?
By David Quinn, The Wall Street Journal/Free Expression Sept. 23, 2026 Ireland and Israel will face off in a men’s soccer match in Hungary on Sunday. The Nations League game was supposed to be played in Ireland, but such is the hostility between the two countries that it must take place at a neutral venue instead. A second match will take place in Serbia rather than Israel the following Sunday. The Football Association of Ireland doesn’t want to play at all. It wants the Unio

‘The New York Times’ Sued by Shareholders Over Biased Israel Coverage
by Maya Sulkin, TheFreePress.com. Sept. 23, 2026 Shareholders of The New York Times filed a lawsuit against the paper’s parent company on Wednesday morning, arguing the paper has failed to meet its obligation: to tell readers the truth and correct itself in a timely fashion when it doesn’t. The suit, filed by the State Board of Administration of Florida (SBA) and the National Center for Public Policy Research (NCPPR) in New York County Supreme Court, asks a judge to force th

Israel’s Latest Power Play (That No One Saw Coming)
From the Substack, "Built in Israel. For Everyone." Feb. 12, 2026 In late January, Israel announced Space City: a 100-million shekel ($27 million) project transforming Mitzpe Ramon into the country’s largest civilian space research campus. Mitzpe Ramon is a remote desert town of 5,500 people in the Negev (southern Israel). It is situated on the northern ridge overlooking the world’s largest erosion cirque, known as the Ramon Crater. The formation is 40 kilometers long, 2–to

I was a viral antisemite. Here’s what actually changed my mind.
by Lucas Gage, FutureOfJewish.com. Sept. 18, 2026 I was one of the most prominent and viral antisemites in the world. Swattings and attacks on my family didn’t pull me out of it. They pushed me deeper. What helped pull me out was a two-hour conversation over coffee with a religious Jew who was never once offended by anything I said, and I think the people fighting antisemitism need to hear why that worked. For a long time, the standard approach to people like me was to label

Rising Antisemitism Reveals a lot about America
by Nachum Kaplan, FutureOfJewish.com. May 15, 2026 Much has been written about what surging antisemitism in America means for Jews. More troubling is what it says about America itself. It says the country is losing the moral architecture that made it stable, prosperous, and trustworthy. It says the America that the world depended upon — and Americans themselves took for granted — is in ideological decay. Antisemitism is not just a Jewish problem. It is a warning that a societ

Jewish history is being rewritten as 'Palestinian'.
By Guy Goldstein, FutureOfJewish.com Aug. 5 2026 Last week, the United Nations took the capital of the ancient Kingdom of Israel and filed it in the world’s records as endangered Palestinian heritage. The danger it named was the Jews. The place is Sebastia, the hilltop city King Omri raised 3,000 years ago, and the threat entered on the record is an Israeli plan to protect the ruins. A Jewish king’s capital, filed as Palestinian, with the Jewish state named as the peril it

Iran Is Collapsing, but Islamism Is Spreading
by Ayaan Hirsi Ali, TheFreePress.com. March 2, 2026 Three events, three continents, one week. A parliamentary by-election in Greater Manchester, England; a thunderous war and the death of a tyrant in Iran; and a terrorist attack in Austin, Texas. They seem unrelated. They are not. Together, they tell you where political Islam has got to—and more urgently, where its most committed adherents are heading next. On February 26, the UK’s Green Party won a parliamentary seat in Gor

The Empty Table: Why the Palestinian Leadership Never Makes a Counter-Offer
by Melissa Brodsky, Aug. 7, 2026. The Lionness Writes In real estate, business, or diplomacy, a rejection comes with a counter-offer. If the terms fall short, the other side pushes back. They draw new lines. They offer an alternative. The only time a party walks away from the table in total silence, refusing to submit a single counter-proposal, is when they never intended to make a deal in the first place. For nearly a century, Palestinian leadership has perfected the art of

Antisemitism in U.S. Teachers Unions
In recent years, antisemitism in the United States has reached historic levels. Jewish communities across all sectors of civic life have reported heightened hostility, harassment and marginalization. Teachers unions, long regarded as pillars of labor solidarity and progressive values, have not been immune to this troubling trend. In fact, for many Jewish educators, the spaces that were once synonymous with professional belonging and mutual advocacy have become sources of prof

Douglas Murray on 9/11 and the War on Truth
By Douglas Murray, The Free Press, Sept. 1, 2026 No one with keen senses needs to be reminded that the West is still very much at war with radical Islam. As the 25th anniversary of September 11, 2001, approaches, U.S. and Israeli armed forces continue to tangle each day with kindred spirits of the ideologues who struck New York and Virginia, while European capitals suffer frequent attacks from radicals within their walls. Yet there is another war still being waged, one over t

Hamas or Israeli Values?
By Victor David Hanson. Townhall.com. Aug. 20, 2026 Israel dominates the daily news in this 2026 midterm election year — almost always in a boring, fatiguing, negative light. Tens of thousands of innocents may be slaughtered, ethnically cleansed, butchered, and tortured by the world's dictators, yet an overwhelming and obsessive abhorrence is reserved for tiny, democratic Israel. Such perverse asymmetry is strange, since, at least privately, most Americans would concede that

Fun Fact: The Qur’an is Zionist.
by Joshua Hoffman, FutureOfJewish.com. Dec. 8, 2025 Many people today are surprised to learn that the Qur’an, Islam’s foundational scripture, contains passages that unambiguously affirm the Jewish historical and spiritual connection to the Land of Israel. In an era when political narratives often attempt to erase or rewrite that connection, returning to the Qur’an itself reveals a text that recognizes the Jewish claim as both divine and enduring. In this sense, the Qur’an can

Israel's next great threat might not be Iran.
by Joshua Hoffman, FutureOfJewish.com. Aug. 19 2026 The Israeli strike on a Syrian airbase this week was the latest chapter in a relationship that has moved from refuge to alliance to rivalry — and a warning that Israel’s next northern threat may not come from the Islamic Republic of Iran. The most important fact about the Israeli airstrike in Syria this week is what Israel did not claim to be bombing. It did not claim to be destroying an Iranian weapons shipment. It did not

A Christian writes why he is a supporter of Israel and the Jews, and about Jew-Hatred.

5 Things Jew-Haters Can Learn from Jews

Why do Jews survive persecution and still rebuild? Why do Jews maintain strong communities across generations and continents? Why does such a tiny country repeatedly produce outsized influence in science, business, medicine, culture, technology, and education? Jew-haters usually answer those questions with conspirac
