On 26 November 2024, Public Discourse published an analysis by Global National Conservative Alliance (GNCA) leader Yoram Hazony, arguing that traditionalist Jews should align with nationalist and conservative Christians to counter what he describes as America’s drift toward “neo-Marxist tyranny.” The article begins:
Growing up, I often heard American Jews say: it can’t happen here. They meant that the persecution that haunted our forebears in Europe and the lands of Islam could not reappear in America. But my father, who was born to Ukrainian-Jewish parents in Israel, always told me: Don’t you believe it. It can happen anywhere. Now we know. My father was right. Anti-Jewish hatred has exploded into view across the United States with a breathtaking savagery. The line has been crossed, the spell broken. American Jewry will never be the same after this—and neither will America…
Key Points:
- Hazony argues that America’s “liberal democracy” era has ended, with neo-Marxist ideology replacing traditional anti-Marxist liberalism in major institutions.
- The nationalist right, despite some anti-Semitic elements, is presented as the only viable force capable of preserving traditional religious and cultural values.
- The proposed alliance would seek to overturn Supreme Court decisions banning religious instruction in public schools and establish conservative educational institutions.
- The author advocates for explicitly Christian public spaces in conservative states while maintaining accommodations for traditional Jewish communities.
