To Resist the Academic Intifada’

Last month, the JPPI – Jewish People Policy Institute – published The Essential Guide to October 7th and its Aftermath: Facts, Figures, History – my how-to-defend-Israel guide. This week, Wicked Son is publishing To Resist the Academic Intifada: Letters to My Students on Defending the Zionist Dream – my why-to-celebrate-Israel manifesto. The story of that book is the story of a changing agenda over three years.

TikTok Banned My New Book Even Before It Was Published

America’s Silenced Majority remains pro-Jewish and overwhelmingly pro-Israel. But dynamics on social media, and a polarized political culture that broadcasts extremists too loudly, has given the haters an outsized profile.

How Long Does a War Take?

It’ll be over by Christmas” is an old saying from the first months of World War I. That war lasted from July 1914 to November 1918—almost four and a half years. To Israel’s leaders’ credit, they have never said such a thing about our war. When it began a year ago, with the brutal attack on October 7, neither Christmas nor any Jewish holy day was mentioned as a possible end date. The war started on a holy day, and when it ends it will be a different type of holy day—that is, if Israel ends up winning it.
