Mamdani and the Israel Test of the Democratic Party

This article was written published by the Jerusalem Post, written by Adam Milstein. Among the members of the American Islamo-leftist alliance, New York Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani is widely viewed as a rising star and likely the next mayor of America’s largest city. But his ascent should alarm anyone who still believes in the foundational principles of the Democratic Party and the health of America’s political system. Mamdani reflects the slippery slope direction the party is headed for, if it doesn’t change course very soon. Mamdani is a self-described Democratic Socialist who supports turning New York’s grocery stores into government-run institutions,  Read More…

Enemies Within: Islamo-Left Alliance and Far-Rightists

This article was originally published in InFocus magazine, written by Adam Milstein. On October 7, 2023, Hamas terrorists massacred more than 1,200 innocent people in Israel, most of them civilians, wounded another 3,400, and kidnapped 251 individuals to the Gaza Strip, of whom (as of May 2025), 58 hostages were  still being held in Gaza, with 20 believed to be alive and 38 confirmed dead. But the real shock came not just from the barbaric attack and the torture and rape of the hostages, but from the response in the West. Instead of uniting in condemnation, academic institutions, news media outlets  Read More…

Israel Paves a Path, the Diaspora Should Follow

This article was originally published by The Jerusalem Post on 6/25/25. On June 21, 2025, the United States and Israel deepened their historic partnership, as American warplanes struck Iran’s nuclear sites at Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan in a decisive blow against barbarism. For the first time, the U.S. allowed an ally to lead: Israel’s Operation Rising Lion, using F-35 jets, cleared Iran’s skies and softened targets, paving the way for U.S. B-2 stealth bombers with GBU-57 bunker-buster bombs and Tomahawk missiles to dramatically diminish Iran’s nuclear ambitions. President Donald Trump hailed this as a triumph of freedom over evil, a  Read More…

The Perils of “America Only”: A Path to Global Chaos

This article was originally published in the Jerusalem Post on 5/22/25, written by Adam Milstein. A dangerous new ideology is taking root on the American right. What began as a sensible “America First” doctrine to prioritize American interests has, in some circles, morphed into an “America Only” worldview that views global engagement as a threat. Implementing this ideology would prove catastrophic for the world and dangerous for America.  “America First” is a call for strategic, interest-driven global leadership, asserting that American power abroad should be wielded judiciously, not abused, and that global alliances can be assets, not burdens.  “America Only,”  Read More…

Justice and Jihad: How Radical Islam and the Progressive Left Seek to Undermine America

This article was originally published by the Jerusalem Post on April, 24th, 2025. “This American empire must fall” This statement did not come from Iran’s Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, from Vladimir Putin of Russia, or from China’s Xi Jinping. It came from a Muslim American resident of Dearborn, Michigan, who added: “People are willing to fight and put their lives on the line to bring these Western empires down.” It is a chilling reminder that calls for the destruction of America and Western civilization are not limited to distant regimes. These ideas are now echoed within our own communities, on college  Read More…

How American College Campuses Became the Islamo-Leftists’ Playground

This article was originally published in the Jerusalem Post on March, 23rd 2025. What do a Yale scholar, a Columbia student, a Georgetown researcher, 60 colleges and universities under investigation for relentless antisemitic eruptions, and Hamas – have in common? In traditional times, the answer should be absolutely nothing. Institutions like Yale, Harvard, UPenn, Georgetown, and Columbia were once guardians of liberal democratic values, committed to fighting hatred and violence. Yet, today, this is far from the case. A dangerous alliance has formed between the progressive movement in the United States and radical Muslim groups, using the guise of victimhood to create  Read More…

The Growing Threat of ‘America First’ Isolationism: A Danger to the U.S., Israel, and Their Alliance

This article was originally published in The Jerusalem Post on February 23nd, 2025, written by Adam Milstein. Throughout history, political movements, even those not initially antisemitic, have often seen their most radical factions steer them toward antisemitism. In recent years, segments of the American left have embraced militant Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives, Critical Race Theory (CRT), Marxist ideologies, and policies that exacerbate societal divisions. This shift has, at times, fostered antisemitic sentiments, as observed in rhetoric from certain college campuses, organizations like the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), Jewish Voice for Peace, national unions, civil rights groups, and members of  Read More…

Neither your honey nor your sting? A Call for Jewish Political Pragmatism.

This article was originally published by the Jerusalem Post on 11/24/24, written by Adam Milstein. Since the end of WWII, the American Jewish community has lived in relative safety and prosperity compared to Jewish history. Decades of social comfort allowed for a political activity based on preference and not necessity. Throughout that period, the Jewish community focused political capital almost exclusively on the American left, often rejecting overtures from the right. While historically expedient, this strategy is now shortsighted. The current moment requires heightened realism and political pragmatism. Over the last twenty-five years, we’ve seen political trends swing in both  Read More…
