Soccer star Mohamed Salah keeps politicizing his sport against Israel (Noah Phillips)

Mohamed Salah is on top of the soccer world right now. The Liverpool starlet hailing from Nagrig, a small Egyptian village, scored the winning goal of the UEFA Champions League--the premier club soccer competition--in just the second minute of the match. Doing so, he by and large paved the path to victory for his side against rivals Tottenham Hotspurs. The 26-year-old...

Linda Sarsour and the Jews (Noah Phillips)

In a recent Facebook post linking to a petition in support of Ilhan Omar (D-MN), Linda Sarsour asserted the age-old anti-Semitic trope that American Jews remain loyal to Israel over the US (what she called "democratic values,") as well as asserting that these Jews “masquerade as progressives.” For Sarsour, her venture into explicitly antisemitic territory only reaffirms...

BDS and the Democratic Party’s Values (Noah Phillips)

The propagation of socialism in the Democratic party in this upcoming election cycle begs the question of why the millennial generation of voters acquiesces to a leftist political movement, largely comprised of inexperienced and untested candidates for office. The answer regularly doled out is that young people are fed up with the way things have been done, the...

Rashida Tlaib: The Pioneer Who Hates Israel (Noah Phillips)

by Noah Phillips Rashida Tlaib’s primary victory in Detroit’s 13th Congressional district is daunting for Israel supporters in the US and abroad. In a matter of months, Tlaib will have sizable influence to effect change on an issue central to her heritage (she is a “Palestinian-American”), the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, with a voice infallibly slated against...

Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez Blunder (Noah Phillips)

With her primary-election upset victory over incumbent Representative Joe Crowley, Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez—at 28 years old—is the emerging face of millennial politics and an ardent proponent of modern socialist ideology. While she certainly has mobilized her supporters effectively, Cortez’ campaign is marred by her blatant lack of any knowledge on the Israeli-Palestinian...

IfNotNow's dishonesty (Noah Phillips)

As a cohort, Jewish millennials have acquiesced to the half-baked scenarios presented by the radical left-wing group IfNotNow. They've strategically branded themselves as ardent advocates for social justice and human rights in Israel, "to see the full picture," a description in this case synonymous with anti-Israel—and by extension, anti-democratic—sentiment. It’s unfathomable...

Deconstructing IfNotNow (Noah Phillips)

As the millennial cohort swings left, a group of young Jewish activists, IfNotNow (INN), is appealing to a wide swath of Jewry with proclamations of social justice and progressive ideals. But the seemingly-open and inclusive stance is a soft veneer for Israel bashing rhetoric. Worse, INN’s public agitations at times fuel anti-Semitic sentiments. The...

Netta: Showcasing Israel and Progressive Values in Unison (Noah Phillips)

RISING UP: Showcasing Israel and Progressive Values in Unison by Noah Phillips We were all electrified by Netta’s Eurovision performance. Whether you were bobbing your head and clucking your arms, or, like me, swelling with Israeli pride while partly confused with the European infatuation with this kind of music, we loved her moment. Netta, a proud representative...

Why Headlines and the Modern Age of Media Consumption is Hurting Israel (Noah Phillips)

“16 killed, thousands injured, Israeli snipers line the border,” read the brief notification on my phone, and on that of millions of other conscious global citizens relying on the mainstream media for political and global knowledge. I, along with the pro-Israel community, cringed at each of the countless buzzing notifications informing the world of the events transpiring...
