On Monday, Rudy Rochman, a bombastic, keffiyeh-wearing Zionist activist, will debate famed academic Noam Chomsky. Its a mismatched and bizarre pairing: a world-renowned linguist whose ideas on Zionism and the state of Israel have shaped leftist discourse for decades versus a glorified college activist whose works include the YouTube videos Avatar Jewish Connection and Breaking Down Seth Rogens Internalized Anti-Semitism. The fact that this event is happening at all demonstrates the unfortunate success of Rochmans approach to activism, which stands in contrast to traditional Zionist advocacy.

Last Thursday night at midnight, a key political entity in the State of Israel that has in one form or another played a role in every Knesset since 1956 was eliminated from the national political map.The Bayit Yehudi Party, the successor to the National Religious Party, failed to unite with another political faction and, due to disastrous polling numbers, decided not to run in the upcoming elections.The political heir of the NRP whose leaders, such as Haim-Moshe Shapira, Yosef Burg and Zvulun Hammer, made lasting contributions to the Jewish state and which has represented the religious-Zionist community for decades will now not be represented in the next Knesset.How did this venerable and fixture of Israeli politics fall so low?In truth, developments leading to this outcome have been long in the making.The old National Religious Party always faithfully served its constituents by focusing on religious issues; preserving the status quo on religion and state, including personal-status issues; and guaranteeing the viability of the religious-Zionist school system and yeshivas.In the last two decades it also focused heavily on advancing the cause of the settlements, which religious Zionists pioneered. But its sphere of influence and the aspirations of its leaders remained focused on these narrow sectarian issues.

If, just a few years ago, someone had stated in public that a global elite was kidnapping children and torturing them to harvest their blood to make an elixir of youth, they would have been directed to the nearest psychiatric ward. Yet according to a British poll, some 10% of US citizens saythey believe in at least some elements of this absurd theory known asQAnon. The conspiracy theory has also been doing the rounds in Germany and, according to the Amadeu Antonio Foundation, which sets out to combat far-right ideologies and racism, it has already attracted some 150,000 supporters.
