American Jews

Israel is not just another issue in American politics. It is not a convenient weapon for the Left or the Right. It is a living country in a dangerous region, surrounded by enemies.

When Rogan raised accusations that Vance himself had tolerated antisemitism, the vice president’s answer wasn’t engagement. It was dismissal.

That’s the challenge facing Democrats like Emanuel, who still believe in the US-Israel relationship: that the far Left sees Israel as, absurdly, the global symbol of evil.

Orthodox Jewish groups say a bill that would make daylight saving time permanent could upend their routine by pushing winter sunrises and the earliest permissible time for some prayers an hour later.

American Jews and Israeli Jews are family. Have you ever had a family member who embarrassed you? Maybe you don’t introduce them to your friends. But do you want them consumed by their enemies? 

American Jews have lost something invaluable in the last decade: the feeling that their country and their community are exceptional. 

The Democratic Party’s changing stance on Jews and Israel has left many longtime supporters feeling uneasy.

The Democratic Party is increasingly being shaped by a movement that does not merely oppose a policy or a prime minister. It treats the Jewish state itself as a moral stain.

According to a recent poll, the more engaged American Jews are in Jewish religious life – whether Orthodox, Conservative, or Reform – the stronger their attachment to Israel.

From early skeptics to aliyah pioneers, American Jews have carried forward Theodor Herzl’s dream for more than a century.
