Sorry, but “tikkun olam” doesn’t mean becoming a martyr.

Israel has become far too important to people whose lives it barely affects.

The Jews did what dozens of other stateless peoples did — but only our independence is called “colonialism.”

One word tells us we are loved. The other tells us we are accountable. Judaism demands both.

  • Brilliant

    Excellent series. Nachum Kaplan’s incisive account being the token Israeli at a certain kind of dinner party is nothing short of brilliant. It should be preserved in a time capsule as a reminder of the deep stupidity of our times.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

'I was an anti-Zionist. Then I actually started researching.'
Q: What keeps you anchored to critical thinking and truth now?
He emphasizes valuing truth, critical thinking, and being willing to change one's mind when presented with compelling evidence, even if it means risking personal or social fallout.
'I was an anti-Zionist. Then I actually started researching.'
Q: What was the turning point that made you question Israel critique seriously and research more deeply?
The turning point involved observing how liberal allies reacted after October 7th, the propaganda environment in academia and media, and a realization that simplistic narratives failed to capture the reality on the ground; this spurred a commitment to deeper, more critical research.
'I was an anti-Zionist. Then I actually started researching.'
Q: How did you move from one side to the other when you started noticing biases in media and academia?
He discusses recognizing biased narratives, the importance of double-checking sources, and the role of personal relationships and experiences in reshaping beliefs, including his friendships with Jews who influenced his views.
'I was an anti-Zionist. Then I actually started researching.'
Q: Here's how it started. Kyle, I'm fascinated by your journey. You say you started out as an ardent anti-Zionist, and now you're a total advocate for Jews in Israel.
Kyle explains how years in academia, exposure to differing viewpoints, and personal conversations with figures like Noam Chomsky gradually broadened his understanding and led him to reassess anti-Zionist positions, ultimately embracing a pro-Israel, pro-Jewish stance based on new evidence and empathy.
This is why Israel didn't assassinate Iran's Supreme Leader.
Q: Why didn't Israel take the ultimate shot at Khamenei?
The reasons are both practical and philosophical; Israel has never assassinated a leader of a sovereign state and didn't want to set that precedent.
