Israel and Civilization: The Fate of the Jewish Nation and the Destiny of the West is a powerful, next-generation manifesto declaring that the future prosperity and ultimate fate of Western civilization is dependent upon the flourishing, thriving, and security of the Jewish people and the Jewish State of Israel. Israel and Civilization argues that the West’s fate is inextricably tied to the fate of the Jewish people themselves— and that the Jewish people’s right to self-determination in their ancestral homeland demands a distinctly realist foreign policy and tight-knit U.S.- Israel relationship, which will benefit the U.S. national interest and can alone ensure the success of Zionism.

Josh is Newsweek’s senior-editor-at-large, syndicated columnist, host of “The Josh Hammer Show”, a Newsweek podcast, a syndicated radio show, and author of Israel and Civilization: The Fate of the Jewish Nation and the Destiny of the West.

A gripping look at the fashion world’s entanglement with the Nazi regime, where beauty masked betrayal, survival, and resistance. From Hugo Boss’s uniformed allegiance to Coco Chanel and Louis Vuitton’s collaboration, to Ralph Lauren, John Weitz, and Diane von Fürstenberg’s stories of resistance and survival – this is fashion at the crossroads of power and history.

Uwe Westphal’s focus as a writer and journalist has been the Nazi era and it’s persecution of the Jews. He devoted his master’s studies at Berlin’s University of Arts to the fashion industry in pre-Nazi Berlin and the huge Jewish presence in making Berlin one of the world’s fashion capitals and the origin of prêt-à-porter, or ready to wear clothes. His research and writings have shed light on the Nazi destruction of thousands of Jewish-owned textile and fashion enterprises in the German capital.

Today, a battle over Jerusalem’s heritage and identity is being waged – all the more so in the aftermath of October 7th – where it is being systematically undermined, erased, and re-written. The outcome of this battle will impact us all.

There is one place in the world today, perhaps more than any other, which will determine who will emerge victorious.

That place is the City of David – the place where Jerusalem began and the historic site of Biblical Jerusalem – representing the most significant and consequential half-mile on the planet.

Discover how a long-lost barren 11-acre ridge and a broken sewage pipe have positioned the City of David on the frontlines of the fight for historical truth, and the future of Israel and possibly even Western civilization.

Serving as the Director of International Affairs at the City of David Foundation in Jerusalem, Ze’ev Orenstein plays a key role in fostering global partnerships, strengthening Israel’s connection with international stakeholders, and sharing the story of ancient Jerusalem with the world.

History has demonstrated that ZOA has always courageously led the way by being strategically clear in a clouded landscape, opting for truth instead of popularity. ZOA is not rightwing because truth is not a political position. Virtually all Jewish groups have been wrong about Oslo, Gaza, Palestinian statehood, Judea Samaria, Jerusalem, Abbas and Arafat. As former liberal Israeli Ambassador Michael Oren told the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations in 2025, “Morton Klein and ZOA were right about everything.”

Mort Klein is the National President of the Zionist Organization of America (ZOA), the oldest pro-Israel group in the U.S., founded in 1897. He is widely regarded as one of the leading Jewish activists in the U.S. and was named one of the most important advocates of the last century.
