Benjamin Kerstein is a writer, editor and novelist, and a fellow at the Z3 Institute. His latest work is Self Defense: A Jewish Manifesto (2025).

It’s time to call out, in no uncertain terms, those who silence the Jewish state and its supporters.
This is the question we must ask ourselves regarding criticism of Israel.
Israel must make it clear that peace is not an altar of human sacrifice.
The Axis of Antisemitism wants to push American Jews into a new ghetto, but they appear determined never to allow that to happen.
Despite understandable scruples, Western nations must consider deporting Jew-haters.
Israel may be something the late, great statesman thought impossible.
Ending the haters’ impunity might just deliver us from evil.
The myth of an evil Jewish plutocracy is an ancient one, but today it speaks the language of the intersectional left.
Only the Jewish state can provide the resources for self-defense, intelligence and security that American Jews require.
American Jews, politicians and federal agencies must come together to counter a wave of racism.
The Axis of Antisemitism has had 20 years to entrench itself in every aspect of American life. It will not be dislodged without a fight.
Know this, all the enemies of the Jewish people: You are done, over with, finished. You just don’t know it yet.
