The question of the Jewish nation
Is Judaism only a religion, or is it also a nationality?

The Jews’ lesson for the West
Conservatism and the nation need each other to survive.

Trashing nationalism isn’t a defense of the Jews
Demonizing those who march with Israeli flags on “Jerusalem Day” and conservatives who push back against the Marxist war on the West is equally disingenuous and wrong.

Is Italy’s Giorgia Meloni a friend or a foe of the Jews?
Attempts to shoehorn European political leaders into a neat equation about fascists, authoritarians and democrats doesn’t advance Jewish interests or make sense.

Debunking liberal assumptions about Jewish security in a changing Europe
Those who decry Hungary’s Orbán for his party’s past while cheering on Ukrainian nationalism are being inconsistent. It illustrates fallacies about defending both Jews and democracy.

Nationalism goes back into fashion with certain exceptions
The world is right to cheer Ukrainian nationalist fervor and patriotism. Yet why do so many think Jews don’t have the same rights while giving Zelensky a pass for falsifying history?

What Ukraine has taught Europe about the need for nationalism
The European Union must now understand that the nation-state is not only necessary; it's the historical bearer of freedom.

Putin’s unpleasant surprise at the West’s resounding ‘no’
What Ukraine has shown, and Europe may be starting to understand, is that nationalism can be a force for good and democracy.

Complex interplay of French patriotism and Jewish identity behind Éric Zemmour’s presidential run
