Beyond Advocacy: Why the Jewish Diaspora Must Stand With Israel, Not Just For It

This article was originally published by the Jerusalem Post on June 22nd, 2026, written by Adam Milstein. Beyond Advocacy: Why the Jewish Diaspora Must Stand With Israel, Not Just For It In my recent piece, “Diaspora Jewish Resilience Will Define Our Future,” I outlined a roadmap for confronting the surge in antisemitism reshaping American Jewish life. I argued we must move from a reactive to a proactive posture across our communal institutions.   Here, I want to go deeper into the first and most foundational pillar of that roadmap: the existential necessity of a true strategic partnership between Israel and the  Read More…

We built them before. We must build them again

This article was originally published by the Jerusalem Post on May 13th, 2026, written by Adam Milstein. We Built Them Before. We Must Build Them Again In my recent piece, “Diaspora Jewish Resilience Will Define Our Future”, I outlined a short-term and a long-term roadmap for confronting the continued surge in antisemitism reshaping Jewish life in America today. Here, I want to go deeper on what an economically resilient Jewish future requires. And what our own history teaches us about how to build it when the doors begin to close. For past generations of diaspora Jews in America, discrimination and exclusion  Read More…

Diaspora Jewish Resilience Will Define Our Future

This article was originally published by the Jerusalem Post on April 16th, 2026, written by Adam Milstein. Diaspora Jewish Resilience Will Define Our Future The American Jewish community built its institutions for a different era. They were designed in the decades following the Holocaust, when Jewish life in the United States was secure, socially integrated, economically advancing, and largely insulated from public hostility and anti-Jewish violence. The priority was growth and prosperity: assimilating into the broader culture, contributing to society, and expanding Jewish establishments such as schools, synagogues, community centers, and cultural life. We invested heavily in Jewish continuity, education,  Read More…

Nazi Germany and the Iranian Mullahs, Similar Dangers, Same Isolationist Excuses

This article was originally published by the Jerusalem Post on March 18th, 2026, written by Adam Milstein. Nazi Germany and the Iranian Mullahs, Similar Dangers, Same Isolationist Excuses Once again, the United States faces an enemy openly committed to its destruction. And once again, some American leaders respond with isolationism, partisanship, and moral confusion. Before America entered World War II, the isolationist case rested on four pillars: this is not our fight, the threat is exaggerated, intervention serves special interests rather than American ones, and the cure (war) is worse than the disease. Each of those arguments is being made  Read More…

How Anti-Israel Democrats are Radicalizing the Party

This article was originally published by the NY Post on February 23rd, 2026. Throughout history, political movements and societies that appease antisemitism eventually decay. Antisemitism corrodes moral judgment, distorts truth, and undermines the very democratic values its enablers claim to champion. Societies that normalize hatred of Jews never stop there. They fail because they abandon clarity for ideology and principle for power. Today, the Democratic Party risks following this same pattern. The Party of Roosevelt faces a consequential choice that will shape its moral credibility and political future. The question is simple: Will Democrats confront antisemitism and anti-Zionist extremism within  Read More…

Why Antisemitism Is a Losing Strategy for the Conservative Movement

This article was originally published by the Jerusalem Post on 1/19/26, written by Adam Milstein The death of conservative icon Charlie Kirk has prompted more than mourning. It has triggered a profound reckoning about the future of the American conservative movement, one that played out in real time at Turning Point USA’s recent AmericaFest convention. Just three months after Kirk’s assassination, the organization he co-founded became the venue for an intense debate over a fundamental question: Should conservatism remain a coalition with clear moral boundaries, or should it become a broader movement that tolerates racists, antisemites, and conspiracy theorists in  Read More…

The Impact Forum and the next chapter of Jewish philanthropy

This article was originally published on eJewishPhilanthropy.com on December 16th, 2025, written by Adam Milstein. Twenty years ago, I made a pivotal decision that changed my professional life. After a successful business career, I chose to shift my focus from making money to maximizing impact. I committed my wealth, time, energy, experience and networks to venture philanthropy, a strategic approach to fighting antisemitism, strengthening the American way of life and supporting the State of Israel. I was inspired by pro-Israel philanthropic giants like Bernie Marcus, Sheldon Adelson and Newt Becker, who proved that hands-on philanthropy could reshape the ways by  Read More…

The “Tucker Test” of the Conservative Movement

This article was originally published by the Jerusalem Post on November 19th, 2025, written by Adam Milstein. Tucker Carlson has never hidden his hostility and twisted obsession toward Israel, Jews, or anyone who stands with them. Recently, though, his anti-Jewish rhetoric reached a new level. He is now elevating voices that not long ago were considered too extreme and shameful to be heard anywhere outside the shadows. Carlson has hosted several individuals with established antisemitic records, but the clearest example came when he hosted Nick Fuentes on his podcast—a Holocaust-denying, Hitler-praising, white nationalist, who calls for the defeat of “global  Read More…

Leading with Strength: Building the Jewish Future Beyond the War

This article was originally published by the Jerusalem Post on October 29th, 2025, written by Adam Milstein. After two years of war that began with the horror of October 7th yet also brought remarkable courage and achievements, we’ve reached a moment that seemed impossible—a ceasefire that stands as a testament to Israel’s strength, resilience, and unity. Twenty Israeli hostages returned home free from Gaza captivity. Israel dismantled Hamas’s military infrastructure, eliminated Hezbollah’s leadership including Hassan Nasrallah, decimated the Houthis in Yemen and their senior leadership, and destroyed Iran’s nuclear ambitions. The axis of resistance—Iran’s network of terror proxies spanning from  Read More…

Don’t let America become a UK-style antisemitic hell-hole

This article was originally published by the New York Post on October 16th, 2025, written by Adam Milstein. The terrorist attack outside a Manchester synagogue on Yom Kippur left two people dead and the United Kingdom shaken. Yet it wasn’t an isolated act of madness, but rather the culmination of decades of moral decline in that country. Jewish life has now retreated behind walls; families are quietly applying for second passports. The United States is not there yet — but we’re heading in the same direction. Whether we become an unwelcome country for Jews depends on how our generation responds to the same  Read More…
