The Battle for the Jewish State
How Israel—And America—Can Win
By Victoria C. Gardner Coates

On October 7, 2023, Israel was ambushed by the Palestinian terrorist organization, Hamas. The attack, underwritten by the Islamic Republic of Iran, unleashed unspeakable terrors on the Israeli population. Most of the world reacted with horror to Hamas’s actions. But many commentators labeled the Jewish people, and Israel as a nation, as oppressors. The Palestinians, according to their Marxist calculus, were the oppressed.

A legion of figures in academia, the media, and the United States then declared support for Palestine, the perpetrator of the atrocities. Many American institutions have been indoctrinated and transformed into puppets, propagating the hateful antisemitism that has returned to the West.

Why does Israel exist? Why is it worthy of remaining a critical ally of the United States? Why have critical race theorists identified Israel and the U.S. as the most pernicious examples of “settler colonialism”?

Answers to these questions were developing during President Trump’s first term. But they were promptly abandoned by the Biden-Harris Administration, imperiling both Israel and the United States. In The Battle for the Jewish State, Victoria Coates shows how the current conflict in Israel is not a regional issue to be resolved through an interminable diplomatic peace process. Rather, it is a broader military and cultural war that must be won for the sake not only of Israel, but of the United States.

In The Battle for the Jewish State, Victoria lays bare the truth that so many have ignored or denied for too long: the war on Israel is not a distant conflict but a direct attack on America’s interests, and indeed on our way of life. Defending Israel is not only a matter of supporting a key ally, although it most certainly is. Challenging hatred of Jews and the Jewish state is not just a vital task for our domestic political life, although it most certainly is. The challenge is far more direct and dire. The enemies of Israel are the enemies of America, they are on the march, and their hatred—and their goals—know no bounds or borders.

For most of the past half-century, American policy in the Middle East has been in the thrall of delusions about who our foes are and what catalyzes them, and about why our true friend in the region, Israel, must survive and thrive. In The Battle for the Jewish State, former Trump national-security official Victoria Coates provides a powerful antidote to our government’s willful blindness. Israel is an essential ally for whom peace and prosperity are not merely its needs but also vital American interests. Its annihilationist enemies – our enemies – must be defeated, not accommodated, for the sake of both regional stability and U.S. national defense.

Victoria Coates brings her keen insight into the geopolitics of the Middle East to The Battle for the Jewish State, laying out for the American people why the U.S. alliance with Israel is vital to their national security. With her background working on this issue from the Senate, White House and Department of Energy she leads the reader deftly through complex issues from missile defense to global energy markets to explain what has happened since the October 7, 2023 terrorist attack on Israel—and what should come next.

In The Battle for the Jewish State, Victoria Coates brings both academic rigor and storytelling expertise to bring the story of U.S. policy towards Israel to life. Exhorting the reader not to remain mired in the failed, bipartisan “peace process” of the past, she charts a hopeful course forward if the next American president can build on the innovative—even unconventional—successes of President Trump’s first term, in which Coates participated directly. Despite the chaos and violence in the Middle East now, progress that can finally win this conflict for Israel and enhance the security of the American people is possible if the U.S. and Israel stand firmly together.

America’s Revolutionary Mind

A Moral History of the American Revolution and the Declaration That Defined It
C. Bradley Thompson

America’s Revolutionary Mind is the first major reinterpretation of the American Revolution since the publication of Bernard Bailyn’s The Ideological Origins of the American Revolution and Gordon S. Wood’s The Creation of the American Republic.

The purpose of this book is twofold: to elucidate the logic, principles, and significance of the Declaration of Independence as the embodiment of the American mind; and to shed light on what John Adams once called the “real American Revolution”—that is, the moral revolution that occurred in the minds of the people in the fifteen years before 1776.

Murders On the Nile

The World Trade Center And Global Terror
J. Bowyer Bell

Murders on the Nile takes us into a murky underworld of Egyptian exiles, Palestinian and Iranian militants, and Arabs waging jihad in Afghanistan—all of them joined together by a dream of violence, freedom and vengeance. By the beginning of the twenty first century, these Islamist zealots had filled their ranks with holy men and hijackers, charismatic preachers and street thugs.  Their yearning for the paradise of an imagined past had become a conspiracy found only along the Nile but ultimately along the Hudson as well.

The Anxieties of the Democratic Age
Joshua Mitchell

In America, we know of our growing isolation and loneliness.  What of the Middle East?  In the Middle East today, citizens and subjects live amid a profound tension: Familial and tribal linkages hold them fast, and at the same time rapid modernization has left them as isolated and lonely as so many Americans are today. The looming question, anticipated so long ago by Tocqueville, is how they will respond to this isolation and loneliness.

Voices of Democracy in the Middle East

The Next Founders brings to light the stories of seven remarkable people, six Arabs and an Iranian. Five are men; two, women. Four are Sunnis, two are Shiites, and the seventh is mixed. Their lives revolve around a sense of mission, and while the angles from which they attack it are varied, this mission is the same for all seven: to make their countries more free and democratic.
