“New York fell into their hands.”

“New York Jews are afraid of what’s to come.”

“Jews at risk in New York City.”

Israeli media sources were in a panic over Zohran Mamdani’s election—but with little outreach to the one-third of New York City Jews who voted for the mayor-elect. https://momentmag.com/bivrit-israeli-media-mamdani-win/

Trump’s America-first approach to governance, which eschews traditional allies and global cooperation, has been viewed by many as aberrant. But as Menachem Rosensaft argues, it is actually a return to a longstanding American tradition of nativism. https://momentmag.com/opinion-ghost-of-warren-harding/

Once associated with only a minority of conservative believers, hardcore Christian nationalism has gradually moved into the mainstream of right-wing religious and political thought and, to the consternation of critics, is powerfully represented in the Trump administration.

Christian nationalists take their evangelicalism a step further, seeking political power in order to take control of governmental institutions and transform them.

Remarkably, the growth of Christian nationalism in America has enjoyed the blessing of some prominent conservative Jews, most notably Yoram Hazony, an Israeli-American intellectual who co-founded the “National Conservatism” project and leads conferences connected to the movement. With a long history in right-wing Jewish political circles, Hazony argues that countries should identify above all with their own religious and cultural tradition.

He even provided a front-page blurb for Stephen Wolfe’s The Case for Christian Nationalism, praising it as “pioneering” and “relentlessly innovative,” notwithstanding its bold advocacy of Christian supremacy.

Indeed, many in the youngest generation of 30-something Christian nationalist pastors, among them Andrew Isker, Eric Conn, Brian Sauvé and Joel Webbon, openly indulge in antisemitism or come close to it.

“The Jews killed the Lord Jesus. ‘Antisemitism’ be damned,” Conn wrote on X in 2022, daring his critics to challenge him.

On that same day, he portrayed Jews as his political enemies, saying, “The vast majority of Jews in America are Marxists who support the Democratic agenda.”

“It was very easy for me to be a leader in the nationalist movement and to be Jewish up until a year and a half ago,” Hazony said at a 2024 National Conservatism Conference attended by the likes of Josh Hawley and JD Vance. “It’s not that easy anymore.” Hazony said he found himself “pretty amazed by the depth of the slander of Jews as a people there has been online.” While he was accustomed to seeing such sentiments on the left, he said, “I didn’t think it would happen on the right. I was mistaken.”

Zohran Mamdani has won the New York City mayoral race. Many members of New York’s Jewish community condemned Mamdani for his anti-Zionist and potentially antisemitic views—but longtime Moment columnist Marshall Breger, who passed away earlier this year, thought condemning the political upstart was the wrong approach. https://momentmag.com/remembering-marshall-breger/

A virulent antisemitism lurks in the heart of the American Christian nationalist movement, alarming politically conservative Jews who helped push religious nationalism into the halls of power.

About Moment

Moment is a fiercely independent magazine that provides North American Jews with award-winning, in-depth reporting. It transcends ideology and denomination, and delves deeply into the stories that shape our lives: the future of democracy, anti-Semitism on the left and the right, intermarriage and the widening gap between American Jews and Israel.

Moment was founded in 1975 by Elie Wiesel and writer Leonard Fein. It was named after the Yiddish-language Der Moment, founded in 1910 in Warsaw, Poland. Der Moment, as Wiesel describes in Moment’s first issue, “became a massive circulation newspaper, and lived until it was murdered together with Polish Jewry.” The Moment founders promised that the magazine would include diverse opinions “of no single ideological position, save of course, for a commitment to Jewish life.” Nearly 45 years later, under the leadership of Nadine Epstein, Moment remains as independent as ever.
