Seth Mandel: An Unprecedented Moment in American Jewish History
As-a-Jews aside—that is, other than the Beinartian mascots of self-loathing—most American Jews are embracing the fight. That is because they know two things: One, that the explosion of anti-Semitism since 10/7, and the particularly sadistic nature of its bloodlust, won’t go away on its own, and may not go away at all. Two, that the community has no allies among the mainstream political “rights” groups, almost all of which are on the left ideologically. There are one or two libertarian-leaning free-speech groups that concentrate entirely on government censorship and thus would not notice if campus Hamasniks set a Jewish student on fire in front of them.Seth Mandel: Joe Lieberman and the American Dream
The Jews have allies here, but they are individual allies. It is outrageous that when activist groups march in defense of campus Hamasniks who have been punished and do so by co-opting the language of Holocaust victims. “First they came for the” anti-Zionists, we are told. The implication is that if the process isn’t stopped, “they” will come for the Jews, too. The proper response to such people is: They already came for the Jews, you imbeciles; you were there too.
After Oct. 7, 2023, Jewish organizations that had worked tirelessly to help other groups were abandoned in their own time of need. It wasn’t until Congress stepped in—Virginia Foxx, Elise Stefanik, with the bipartisan buy-in of folks like Ritchie Torres in the House and John Fetterman in the Senate—that the tide began to turn. Now the Justice Department wants in on the action.
Had there been one iota of institutional decency among the universities, it never would have gone this far. But now it has—because of the failures, deliberate or out of neglect, of everyone complaining that it has gotten to this point. And now it’s a matter of national concern.
It has never in American history been easier to make your voice heard on the subject of anti-Semitism. It has also, unfortunately, never been more important to do so.
Centered, directed by Jonathan Gruber, had a limited opening in theaters this week. It finds the right balance between Lieberman’s spiritual life and his public life, though he never hid one from the other. His mentor in politics was Connecticut Gov. Abe Ribikoff, who was both Jewish and a bipartisan dealmaker.The Palestinian Fetish
After six years as attorney general, Lieberman, who died in March 2024, set his sights on the U.S. Senate. He managed to defeat Republican incumbent Lowell Weicker by running to Weicker’s right, cementing his persona as an independent-minded representative of all the voters. The win meant a great deal to Hadassah, the Prague-born daughter of Holocaust survivors. “I know I am an American citizen,” Hadassah says, “but I always think of myself as an immigrant, as a refugee.”
That would be a recurring theme for the couple. After Lieberman was chosen to be Al Gore’s vice-presidential nominee in 2000, he said at a campaign stop in Nashville: “The American dream is alive, and it is well.”
But the decade before that campaign put him in the crucible of the Senate. In 1991, Lieberman was one of just 10 Democrats to back the authorization of force against Saddam Hussein. “I think that incident set the stage for his entire career for being a different kind of Democrat,” said Michael Lewan, Lieberman’s former chief of staff.
There would be several more such moments. Lieberman was an early supporter of Bill Clinton’s winning campaign in 1992, but after the Lewinsky scandal broke, Lieberman felt it would have been hypocritical to stay silent. He gave a floor speech criticizing Clinton’s conduct.
After 9/11, Lieberman and John McCain began working together on foreign policy, eventually finding Lieberman back in Iraq. This time, however, his support for military action against Saddam Hussein would cost him dearly within his own party. In 2006, he was defeated in the Democratic Senate primary by Ned Lamont, who hammered Lieberman on his support for the war. Lieberman then registered as an independent and ran in the general, splitting the Democrats but winning statewide once again.
“I was absolutely liberated,” he said of his ability to run as an independent. “I could say whatever I wanted, I didn’t have to worry about offending the power structure in my party, which I had already nonetheless done a pretty good job of offending.”
Some of his former allies had begged him not to do it, and he would hear those same voices of disapproval from his side two years later when loyalty and honesty compelled him to support his friend and colleague—and Republican—McCain against Barack Obama in the 2008 presidential election. He even spoke at the Republican National Convention. In retaliation, Democrats stripped him of his chairmanship of a Senate subcommittee.
Has any other group in history been handed this many chances for statehood—only to throw them all away? I’ll wait. They gambled, they lost—and in any other conflict, wars have consequences. Yet the Palestinian cause remains the grift that never ends. Their leaders keep the cycle going because, let’s be honest, victimhood pays:Jerry Dunleavy: Meet the pro-CCP Marxist revolutionary group behind the Mahmoud Khalil protests Alan Dershowitz: Mahmoud Khalil Deserves Speech Rights, Not Sympathy The inside story of how Labor destroyed its deep ties with Australia’s Jewish community in just 18 months In Israel, unaccountable jurists have usurped unparalleled powers Gaming the Wiki System New report exposes dangerous influence of Wikipedia editors on anti-Israel discourse
No other group claims ‘occupation’ while repeatedly turning down independence.
No other refugees inherit statelessness like a family heirloom.
No other conflict has its own dedicated UN agency (UNRWA) designed not to resolve the crisis, but to perpetuate it.
No other people have received more foreign aid per capita—only to squander it, fail to build a state, and still rely on their so-called oppressor for basic necessities.
At this point, it’s less of a liberation movement and more of a billion-dollar racket.
And if it’s still not obvious, let me spell it out: they don’t want a country. They want a cause—an endless cycle of grievance that keeps the cash flowing, the UN resolutions coming, and Israel in the crosshairs. This is the real reason the ‘Palestinian cause’ has global traction—it was never about independence, self-determination, or human rights. That’s just the sales pitch. And if you bought it, congrats—you got played. Because at its core, this movement runs on the one thing that has united the world for centuries: hating Jews. Sure, plenty of activists will swear up and down they don’t hate Jews. But if they’re marching under banners calling for the destruction of the only Jewish state, chanting Hamas slogans, and dressing up old-school antisemitism as “anti-Zionism”—they’re not exactly walking a fine line. They’ve bulldozed right through it The obsession with “saving Palestine” has little to do with Palestine itself. For many Western—but staunchly anti-Western—activists, it’s just a convenient weapon, wielded not only against Israel but against capitalism and the very societies that grant them the freedom to protest. For the privileged activists screaming the loudest, Palestine isn’t a humanitarian crisis—it’s a fashion statement. A trendy cause with merch, social clout, and a built-in sense of purpose for people who’ve never faced real hardship. With no real stakes of their own, they latch onto a conflict they barely understand—not to solve it, but to flaunt their moral superiority. It’s not activism; it’s a glorified hobby—one they’ve mistaken for an identity. Beneath the hashtag sloganeering and performative outrage lies something far worse: a cause that’s given Islamist operatives a backdoor into Western academia, hijacking institutions to serve some of the world’s most repressive regimes. So no, progressives—Iran’s theocracy, which would jail or execute you for your views on women’s rights, is not your ally. For those actually paying attention—or living it firsthand—this isn’t a slogan on a tote bag. It’s reality. Most reasonable people agree that Arab Palestinians, like everyone else (well, except maybe Jews), have a right to self-determination. But that starts with ditching their leadership—preferably yesterday—and abandoning the obsession with Israel’s destruction. Only then can they build a culture defined by possibility, not perpetual grievance. That means breaking free from indoctrination—one that starts in childhood, replaces hope with hatred, and builds terror tunnels instead of schools. But that won’t happen while Hamas—a literal death cult—keeps them trapped under its grip, ruling through fear and propaganda. Norway, Spain, and Ireland—seriously? Recognising a Palestinian state post-October 7 doesn’t promote peace; it rewards terrorism. Their leaders aren’t building a state—they’re dismantling Israel, using “statehood” as a smokescreen while sacrificing their own people. And you endorsed it. But sure, let’s keep pretending this is about “liberation.” Next time a flag-waving activist yells “Free Palestine,” ask them: from what, exactly? Because it sure as hell isn’t Israel keeping them stateless—it’s their own leaders. And spare us the upside-down narrative of Jews as colonisers. Arab expansion through Islamic conquest reshaped vast swaths of the world—including the Jewish homeland. Meanwhile, the Jewish people are left with exactly one tiny state. I know many activists genuinely believe they’re fighting for the oppressed. But blind empathy and good intentions won’t cut it. In the immortal words of the woke brigade: educate yourself and do better. If they actually cared about Palestinian lives, they wouldn’t be parroting Hamas’ propaganda—they’d be holding them responsible. And yes, that can be done without endorsing every Israeli policy—or short-circuiting into a rage spiral while shrieking “genocide, apartheid, colonisation” like a malfunctioning chatbot. Because no amount of hashtags or endlessly recycled activist Mad Libs will build a school, pave a road, or free a single Palestinian from their corrupt rulers. At some point, the moral grandstanding has to give way to reality. This isn’t just about historical truth or Israel’s survival—or even my rapidly diminishing patience. It’s about the Palestinians themselves, who deserve better than to be used as cannon fodder in a never-ending war. Let’s be real—this was never about “saving Palestine.” If it were, these activists would be demanding better leadership, not foaming at the mouth over Israel. But they won’t—because to them, Palestine is a costume. A personality cult. A fetish. And like every performative trend before it, they’ll abandon it the moment it’s no longer in fashion.

Earlier this week, Google announced that it had agreed to acquire the Israeli cybersecurity company Wiz—which offers essential services to companies employing large and complex software—for $32 billion. It marks, by far, Google’s largest acquisition ever, and the largest ever acquisition of an Israeli-founded company. (Wiz is based in the United States, though its founders and many of its employees are Israeli.) Sharon Wrobel examines the deal’s background and consequences: Wiz was founded by four tech musketeers who met in the Israeli army and served together in the IDF for almost a decade. Assaf Rappaport, forty, Yinon Costica, forty-one, Ami Luttwak, forty, and Roy Reznik, thirty-five, are graduates of the famed elite Israeli military intelligence unit 8200, which has built a track record of churning out serial tech entrepreneurs and founders of startups, including Nice, Palo Alto Networks, CyberArk, and Waze. [Today] businesses face heightened network-security risks, including sophisticated ransomware, malware, and other breaches. The changing environment bolstered the need and ample demand for Wiz’s fast-growing multi-cloud security platform powered by artificial intelligence. Its customers include more than 40 percent of the Fortune 100 companies, such as Slack, Mars, BMW, DocuSign, Plaid and Agoda. The estimated tax revenue Israel could earn from the transaction is equal to about 0.6 percent of the GDP and would help relieve government pressure to introduce measures to fund the war’s defense and civilian expenditures and bring down the budget deficit and high debt levels. If a deal is finalized, it would also further anchor Google’s commitment to develop key technology in Israel and cement its presence in the country.
