Think for yourself. Subscribe to The Free Press today: https://thefp.pub/3DmLpLi Josh Hammer is a political commentator, attorney, and columnist whose recent book, "Israel and Civilization: The Fate of the Jewish Nation and the Destiny of the West," argues that the flourishing of the Jewish people and the Jewish State of Israel is essential to the survival of Western civilization. Josh and I agree on quite a bit when it comes to Israel, but we also have some significant disagreements on the role of religion in history, and on the ethics of religious intermarriage. I wanted to sit down with Josh and understand his argument that the “best bang for your buck” to secure a Jewish future is for Jews to only marry other Jews. We also discuss why American Christianity has been more friendly to Jews than European Christianity has, how that relationship has shaped political and cultural alliances, and why Josh thinks U.S. military aid to Israel should eventually end. Josh brings a perspective grounded in both personal conviction and a strong historical lens, which made for an excellent conversation.
