I am heartbroken over the betrayal of Jewish people by the Democrats. I will not vote for any Democrat ever again until the DNC denounces anti-Zionism (which is simply anti-Jewish hatred in practice). I have pre-ordered your book, and I am voting a straight GOP ticket despite being a lifelong Democrat. The Jewish people are done with setting themselves on fire to keep everybody else warm. There is a big difference between altruism and masochism. Am Yisrael Chai.
Looking forward to your book, in spite of the fact that I've been listening to Dennis Prager expound on this very topic for decades. I'm sure I'll learn something new! Not Jewish myself but have been deeply disturbed by what I'm seeing and hearing all around (including among the young conservatives in my life, who I seem to be constantly arguing with now on this topic)
I just ordered your book, Batya, and can’t wait to read your in depth analysis of this insanity. I remember waking up on October 8 completely dismayed and baffled by the commentary and coverage, and by the reactions of people I know personally. I’m praying this insanity ends.. and know your book will provide much needed insight for all of us.
I have an now elderly friend who is very politically aware and an ardent conservative. He came from an impoverished background and an eighth grade education. He is Jewish and a multimillionaire. One day we were talking and he started railing about his fellow news who vote Democrat, seemingly against their own interests. I asked him why and he said, "Guilt!" Nothing else. Maybe this book will speak to that or maybe he was a minority of one. I look forward to finding the answer!
I ordered mine Batya when I saw you talk about this book and can’t think of a more needed book at this time. Can we do a Substack book club as would love to do that with this group? I know you will be doing press but some of us I am sure will be happy to facilitate.
Batya, this Vietnam vet was surprised to have found that the radical left part of the anti-war movement was strongly pro Arab, and anti Israel. In the 60s!
Batya, for whatever it is worth, I haven't had many bad interactions with Jewish people. So I don't have a collective vision of concern that "all Jews are...". I do have a distinctly terrible taste on Zionist political battery. So without any regret, I can stand in this forum and say to any Zionist, I don't owe you anything.
I'm not Jewish. I know they're in a lot of life-long conflicts, at all times, it seems. I know we often don't pick the fights that pick us.
Zionism, is an Israeli system of government. As an American I have no attachment and civil obligation to some foreign government. Some Zionists, who are also Jews, place it above all else, including, in many cases the goodness of God, His mercy. They erroneously demand conformance from Americans. That's not something anyone can demand, even if they forcefully demand it. It's unqualified. So I forsake all their claims to artifice of consent for the American whole, because I cannot benefit while being both dragged and filched across representative government.
I never get to say this. So, again, for whatever it is worth, I get to say I never killed anyone. Zion is not my government. I don't owe them anything.

I have submitted my pre-order.
Pre-ordered. Can’t wait. ❤️
If it’s as good as your first book it’s well worth buying.
I’m looking forward to learning more about the Jewish culture in America.
I happily just pre-ordered your new book

Is there a chance for a review copy to be sent to Café Américain mag (https://cafeamericainmag.com)?

Looking so forward to reading your book....I'm greatly saddened by the anti-zionist anti Semitic posture of the US...
