Zionism, the Jewish nationalist philosophy that underlies the state of Israel, entails two kinds of essentialism: Jewishness for Jews and anti-Semitism for gentiles. In other words, no matter how hard they try, Jews cannot stop being Jewish and gentiles cannot stop...

Rights of Return Compared
by Sheldon Richman | Oct 22, 2019 | Blog
Israel's defenders often ask how third-generation Palestinians can possibly be recognized as refugees with a right of return to the properties from which the Zionists drove their grandparents in 1947-48. But didn't those Zionists, most of whom had arrived ony three...
TGIF: Let’s Make Sure the Nazis Killed in Vain
by Sheldon Richman | Oct 18, 2019 | Libertarianism, Sheldon Richman, TGIF
I don’t know how many times I've heard that if we don’t stand by Israel, the victims of the Nazi Judeocide will have died in vain. I knew something was wrong with that claim, but for the longest time I couldn’t put my finger on it. Now I think I can. The claim is...
Palestinians’ Living Standard? Don’t Change the Subject!
by Sheldon Richman | Oct 16, 2019 | Blog
Opposing Palestinian self-determination because West Bank Arabs have a higher living standard than other Arabs is like opposing the abolition of slavery because, unlike white factory workers, slaves have job security.
What Is Judaism?
by Sheldon Richman | Sep 18, 2019 | Blog
From Rabbi Elmer Berger's A Partisan History of Judaism: The Jewish Case against Zionism (1951): Judaism evolved from a primitive tribalism to as noble a spiritual and universal vision as man has ever attained. This fact attests, even without detailed proof, to the...
Is the Bible a Title Deed?
by Sheldon Richman | Sep 18, 2019 | Blog
I was asked on Facebook, "What is your response to many Jews and Christians who believe the Bible makes it clear that the land belongs to the Jews?" Here's is my (slightly edited) response: The Bible isn't a history book, and archaeology has not been kind to it. See...

Judaism, Zionism, and the Dual-Loyalty Charge
by Sheldon Richman | Sep 4, 2019 | Blog, Foreign Policy
Zionists, that is, Jewish nationalists, who hold that Jews qua Jews constitute something more than a religious community, open themselves up to the dual-loyalty charge. And that is exactly what the majority non-Zionist Jews warned against from the start. As Joseph...

[GUEST] Matt Wolfson: Israeli Connection to Maduro Kidnapping/ Will Zionists Get Their War With Iran?
Missed signals are costly; misplaced confidence is worse. We open by unpacking the concrete indicators that war planners watch—carrier deployments, airspace changes, and last‑minute strike deliberations—and what they tell us about the real likelihood of a U.S. hit on...
Breathe the waves of peace
He stood composed, the wind pushed him. The trees waved and leaned above and around. Clouds considered rain, though retained a deep grey. Birds, breeze and his own breathing a convalescence of harmony. He was alone. Standing as if on a horse, the ancient position...
The Kyle Anzalone Show [GUEST] Nick Cleveland-Stout on Making Big Money on War: Polymarket and Think Tanks
What happens when war becomes a market and foreign policy turns into an odds board? We dive into the uneasy world of prediction platforms like Polymarket and Kalshi, where traders place bets on battlefield maps, covert raids, and even the exact words politicians will...
Maps Don’t Lie
The Greenland drama is amusing but reality about the players is rather sobering. A casual look at Russia's habitual military presence in the Arctic for generations dispels any illusion. Europe is presently making lots of noise in a scheduled exercise in Greenland to...
The Kyle Anzalone Show: From ICE To “I Seized Your Oil”
A young woman lies dead on a Minneapolis street, an ICE officer pulled the trigger, and the official story leans on power instead of necessity. We open with what the footage actually shows, why the shot trajectory matters, and how a federal investigation shifts...
