Winning the War Against Israel

On October 7, 2023, Israel was ambushed by the Palestinian terrorist organization, Hamas. The attack, underwritten by the Islamic Republic of Iran, unleashed unspeakable terrors on the Israeli population. Most of the world reacted with horror to Hamas's actions. But many commentators labeled the Jewish people, and Israel as a nation, as oppressors. The Palestinians, according to their Marxist calculus, were the oppressed.

A legion of figures in academia, the media, and the United States then declared support for Palestine, the perpetrator of the atrocities. Many American institutions have been indoctrinated and transformed into puppets who propagate the hateful antisemitism that has returned to the West.

Why does Israel exist? Why is it worthy of remaining a critical ally of the United States?Why have critical race theorists identified Israel and the US as the most pernicious examples of "settler colonialism"?

Answers to these questions were developing during the first term of President Trump. But they were promptly abandoned by the Biden-Harris Administration, imperiling both Israel and the United States. In The Battle for the Jewish State, Victoria Coates shows how the current conflict in Israel is not a regional issue to be resolved through an interminable diplomatic peace process. Rather, it is a broader military and cultural war that must be won for the sake not only of Israel, but also of the United States.
