Ep. 171: Fight the antisemitic left with a return to faith

The willingness to succumb to antisemitism is always a sign of a sick society, says JNS editor-in-chief Jonathan Tobin. The mainstreaming of Jew-hatred in the media, popular culture and political discourse since Oct. 7, 2023 has created a perilous moment for Jews but it is also a sign of just how lost so many Americans have become. He believes what’s needed now is a willingness to understand that it is Western civilization, which has its roots in Judaism, that is under attack as much as Israel.He’s joined in this week’s episode of Think Twice by Newsweek senior editor-at-large and podcaster Josh Hammer, the author of the new book, Israel and Civilization: The Fate of the Jewish Nation and the Destiny of the West.JNS will host its inaugural International Policy Summit on Monday, April 28, 2025.
