The Rise of the UnJews
Anti-Zionism is rising among diaspora Jews; the future of Jewish identity may be increasingly Israeli.
It’s no secret that these are bad times for most Jews in the diaspora. Anti-Semitism across the West has reached a virulence not seen since the 1930s.
A clear danger should lead to greater solidarity, but instead we are seeing greater division among Jews. Shockingly, the scourge of Jewish anti-Zionism has metastasized after October 7, often allying itself with Islamists committed to the eradication of Israel and, in some cases, assaults on Jewish communities around the world.
The most obvious exemplar is Senator Bernie Sanders, a Brooklyn Jew at birth but seemingly now more comfortable with Islamists dominating his supposedly progressive movement. And he’s not alone.
The new head of Canada’s fiercely anti-Israel New Democrats, Avi Lewis, believes that he must “unlearn and unpack the Zionist myths” of his childhood while spouting the usual claims of genocide and apartheid. The U.K.’s Green Party, led by Jewish-born Zack Polanski, is filled with open anti-Semites and, as Spiked recently put it, has turned into “a vehicle for virulent hatred,” much of it directed at Britain’s Jews. And in Israel itself, author David Grossman and a coterie of left-wing Jewish activists have embraced the apartheid and genocide narratives as intrinsic to Israel’s policies.

Confronting the New Antisemitism
"The postwar effort 'to rebrand Judaism as a religion' has made it impossible for American Jews to understand what they are facing today, because what we are facing today is an attack on the idea of Jewish peoplehood.”
“Democratic” Socialism Is Undemocratic
By promoting class hatred, suppressing private initiative, and seeking enhanced control of our lives, today’s democratic socialists undermine patriotism and individual initiative—two qualities that have long distinguished the United States from other major nations.
