On Holocaust Remembrance Day, Vice President JD Vance issued a statement that failed to mention Jews or Nazis, sparking backlash and highlighting a growing disconnect between American Jews and the dominant nationalist wing of American conservatism. In Jerusalem, philosopher Yoram Hazony, a key intellectual influence on Vance, delivered a speech warning that American Jews are losing political ground by focusing on moral outrage rather than effective strategy and alliance-building. Hazony argued that while antisemitic rhetoric has grown on the American right, Jewish organizations have failed to produce the professional evidence and advocacy needed to counter it, instead relying on social media and moral pronouncements. The article contends that the future of Jewish political survival in the United States depends on building substantive alliances with the nationalist faction, understanding its motivations, and engaging in practical politics rather than symbolic gestures. The contrast between Hazony's blueprint for action and Vance's omission on a day of remembrance underscores the urgent need for American Jews to shift from performance to real political engagement.
