JNS resonates with the views of Israeli voters and supporters - here’s why

An end-of-year message from JNS CEO Alex Traiman.

In the past year, many Jewish media outlets have continued to tip their hands, promoting overtly progressive agendas and slanting their news coverage and analysis in direct opposition to the values Israelis resoundingly voted for in the last election.

These outlets are directly opposed to Benjamin Netanyahu’s continued leadership, and are opposed to the Likud’s right-wing and religious coalition partners. They are leading the campaign to delegitimize Israel’s duly elected government.

These efforts cause immeasurable harm to Israel’s diplomatic image and to the relationship between Israel and the American Jewish community.

Fight the delegitimization

As Israel fights against bitter delegitimization campaigns launched by its enemies, attempts to delegitimize from within give a kosher stamp of approval to the arguments of haters of Israel abroad.

By and large, these Jewish media outlets’ views are out of line with those of the majority of Israeli voters. And they are out of line with the politically conservative views of the majority of Israel supporters around the world.

Over the past few years—and particularly during Israel’s extended electoral chaos—JNS has emerged as a high-quality source of news and analysis that resonates with the views of Israeli voters and Israel supporters alike.
