Meet Newsweek “Senior Editor at Large,” Josh Hammer: “The imperative of this late hour, in order to even attempt to rebalance our wildly off-balance pendulum, is to wield political power to reward friends and punish enemies…” 1/
3/ Tellingly, it was Newsweek that published this March 2021 article by Project 2025 leader Russ Vought: “Is There Anything Actually Wrong with Christian Nationalism?” newsweek.com/there-anything…
4/ It is also telling that both Josh Hammer and Russ Vought (and Vought’s minion William Wolfe) signed NatCon’s Statement of Principles in June 2022. The Statement asserts in part that “Where a Christian majority exists, public life shld be rooted in Christianity.”
Dear God. “Netanyahu’s New Ministers Have Very Strict Ideas About Who Is a Jew *** Several ministries have been created w/ a focus on Jewish identity.” They will be led by extremists whose “definition of Judaism” excludes “non-Orthodox streams, w/ which the majority of American Jews identify.” 1/ nytimes.com/2022/12/30/opi…
2/ “They are even demanding a change in the most fundamental link between Israel and the Jewish diaspora: the Law of Return, which grants Israeli citizenship to Jews and their descendants.” nytimes.com/2022/12/30/opi…
3/ “Jews are told that each Jew holds responsibility for Jews everywhere, that we must act for our brethren in peril. But with these new laws redefining who belongs, that religionwide sense of comity would cease to exist.”
“How cld the descendent of Holocaust survivors [Kushner] find common cause with the ideological leader of the ‘alt-right’ [Bannon]? The answer may lie in the history…demonstrating that there is no inherent contradiction between [the expansionist form of] Zionism & anti-Semitism. The two ideologies have…often worked in concert to achieve their shared goal: concentrating Jews in one place [Israel]…” 1/ forward.com/opinion/363545…
2/ Which is why the NatCon alliance shld terrify most American Jews.

3/ Which is why the NatCon movement should terrify most American Jews.
NatCon’s inaugural conference was “not the first time conservative nationalists in the US have been fascist-curious while simultaneously disavowing the openly Nazi right. The similarities between ‘national conservatism’ & the America First Committee & its fellow-travelers in the pre-World War II era are unignorable.” 7/24/19 1/ jewishcurrents.org/flirting-with-…
2/ “In November 1939, Rep. Martin Dies, chairman of the House Un-American Activities Committee, appeared at a ‘MASS MEETING FOR AMERICA’ at Madison Square Garden, where he condemned Nazis & Communists as thoroughly un-American—even though one of the organizers of the meeting, Merwin Hart, was a staunch supporter of Francisco Franco and his fascist regime in Spain and a prominent supporter of immigration restrictions to prevent New York from being overwhelmed by Jewish refugees.”
3/ “Like that earlier generation of right-wing activists, today’s national conservatives are obsessed with immigration.” During a panel, University of PA law professor Amy Wax “mused that ‘our country will be better off with more whites and fewer nonwhites.’”
