Benjamin Kerstein

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).

If the Jews do not defend themselves, second-class citizenship, and far worse, will become the norm.
History has rendered its judgment yet again.
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.
