American Jews Face a Brutal Choice And Many Still Refuse to Make It...

JNS editor Jonathan Tobin and Tablet editor Liel Leibovitz examined the global rise in antisemitism and the response of American and European Jews. They cited a New York synagogue incident in which congregants remained passive during an attack rather than intervening.

Leibovitz criticized Jewish communal leaders for prioritizing Democratic Party interests over Jewish safety and Israel support, referencing Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel’s stance on an antisemitic Senate candidate. He contrasted this with Zionist principles of self-defense and freedom.
