Exciting news! 🇺🇸📖 I'm thrilled to announce the upcoming special US edition of my latest book, 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗝𝗲𝘄𝘀: 𝗔𝗻 𝗜𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗼𝘂𝘀 𝗣𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲, featuring a new cover and a powerful foreword by the brilliant Dr. @EinatWilf. Even better? The audiobook is on the way too. I’m recording it this week! 🎙️ Both will be released this Fall. Stay tuned! This book is about reclaiming Jewish identity, unapologetically, rooted in history, indigeneity, and truth. Thank you, as always, for your support. Am Yisrael Chai!

No, it really isn’t.

Mazal tov to the incredible @EinatWilf on the international publication of her latest book, Peace Not Now. This was a fascinating conversation with @EylonALevy and @Jonathan_Elk.

The best Good Jew. Mazal tov, Shaiel.

A Jew is a Jew is a Jew Shaiel. No matter how hard you try, they’ll always move the goalposts.

Aliyah day! @Belongisrael

What a night to make Aliyah. Fuck the Iranian regime.

Thank you to my friend @AviMayer and @TheJeruJournal for covering my thoughts on making Aliyah. As I leave Scotland and become an Israeli citizen, I reflect on identity, belonging, and what it means to come home. substack.com/home/post/p-200…

¹ Thanks to the work of @bandlersbanter, @AshleyRindsberg, @EllaTravelsLove and @shlomitlir, there's growing awareness of coordinated ideological takeover of Wikipedia's Israel/Palestine coverage after Oct. 7 So I decided to measure its extent and the results are extraordinary🧵

Tonight is my last night in Glasgow. It is where I was born. It is where I spent my childhood, where I became a Bar Mitzvah, and where much of my understanding of myself was formed. Mostly because of my parents, Scotland has always been the constant. No matter where I happened to be living, whether London, Hong Kong, or elsewhere, there was always an assumption that Scotland would be there. It was the place I returned to when life became complicated, uncertain, or challenging. My parents were here. It was familiar. It was home. Tomorrow, I leave the UK and make Aliyah to Israel. Over the past few years, I have spent a great deal of time writing, researching, and speaking about Jewish identity, Jewish peoplehood, Jewish indigeneity, and Jewish self-determination. In many ways, that journey led me here. Not because I stopped being British, but because I came to understand more deeply what it means to be Jewish. Tomorrow I will become an Israeli citizen. I leave with great love for the life my parents gave me here and excitement about the chapter that lies ahead. Scotland will always be where I am from. But tomorrow, I go home.

For anyone who wants to wax lyrical about the silent majority in the U.K. or the fact that radical Muslims are a minority in the Muslim world, remember: A mobilised minority is more effective than a complacent majority

I reject the term "self-hating Jew." In Reclaiming Our Story (2022), I argued that what is often described as Jewish self-hatred is better understood as internalised anti-Jewishness. Most Jews accused of being "self-hating" do not hate themselves. Many feel pride in their Jewish identity. But the issue is not whether they value being Jewish. The issue is how they understand what Jewishness is. Perhaps Zack Polanski is proud of his Jewishness, but when Jewish identity is defined through non-Jewish expectations, Jewish peoplehood becomes suspect, Jewish indigeneity becomes inconvenient, and Jewish self-determination becomes uniquely problematic. This is internalised anti-Jewishness. It is no different in principle from internalised homophobia or internalised anti-Blackness. The prejudice originates outside the group, but members of the group can come to absorb and reproduce it, often directing it towards those who refuse to conform. Internalised anti-Jewishness functions like a broken mirror. Jewish identity is reflected back to Jews through the assumptions, preferences, and prejudices of the non-Jewish world. What emerges is a distorted image dividing Jews into "good Jews" and "bad Jews." The good Jews are those whose Jewishness is considered acceptable. The bad Jews are those who refuse to conform. This is why I reject the term "self-hating Jew." The problem is not hatred of the self. It is the internalisation of anti-Jewishness. And anti-Jewishness is not Jewish. It is created by non-Jews, even if it sometimes seeps into Jewish communities. The poison comes from without. The tragedy is when Jews begin to see themselves and other Jews through its lens.

As Simone de Beauvoir said: "The oppressor would not be so strong if he did not have accomplices among the oppressed"

‘Free Palestine’ is the new ‘Heil Hitler.’

"I don't think you have, mate" will go down as the phrase that symbolised the unravelling of modern Britain.

Maybe just leave the West then.

This is absolutely horrifying.
