Here’s your 1990s pop culture trivia for the day. Let’s do it “Jeopardy!” style:
ANSWER: I Hate Myself and Want to Die.
QUESTION: What was the original title for 1993’s In Utero, Nirvana’s third and final album before its frontman’s suicide?
Having worked for pro-Israel non-profits and counter-terrorism activist groups for 17 years now, one of the odd questions which keeps popping up for debate as though it were some mystery goes something like this:
What is the deal with this small chunk of the Jewish diaspora population who hates Israel? Why do some Jews sympathize with Hamas and wish they succeeded in wiping Israel off the map?
If there’s one topic I’ve heard my conservative Jewish colleagues and friends rant about more than anything else, it’s the group of far-left Jews who embrace anti-Zionism. They are literally on the side of terrorist groups. They want Israel to cease to exist as it now does, no longer continuing as a Jewish state.
Anarchist activist Noam Chomsky, the most famous and infuential voice of these far-left secular Jews and onece namd the so-called “most important intellectual alive today,” literally visited with members of Hezbollah on May 14, 2006:
Consider the most recent polling data, courtesty of the Jewish Electorate Institute, released on April 15, 2026. Now this is not a poll of all Jews globally or all Jews in the United States. It’s only of registered voters and it has a margin of error of +/- 3.5% at the 95% level of confidence.
Question 87 is most relevant here for establishing which part of the Jewish population embraces the eliminationist anti-Israel position:
If someone believes that “Israel has a right to exist as a Jewish homeland” then they qualify as a Zionist.
Thus, 87% of Jewish registered voters embrace this position, regardless of whether they personally self-identify as a Zionist. The previous poll question reveals that only 34% of Jews consider themselves a Zionist, with 26% of them strongly so, while 49% do not and 17% are unsure.
So the portion of the Jewish electorate we’re talking about here is 4% of total Jews, give or take 3.5%.
How many Jews is that?
A Pew report from 2020 estimated America’s Jewish population at 5.8 million adults:
These divide into two groups:
4.2 million (1.7%) who identify as Jewish by religion.
1.5 million (0.6%) Jews of no religion.
Four percent of America’s Jewish population is roughly 232,000 people.
It’s safe to assume that virtually all of them will be secular. The number of ultra-religious Jews in the diaspora who oppose Israel’s existence amounts to a trivial handful.
So, for simplicity, if we round the estimate upwards to 250,000 secular anti-Zionst Jews (which is probably closer to accurate given population growth over the last six years,) then roughly one out of every six secular Jews in America hold this position.
So, guess what? Those one out of every six are going to be so angry and so loud that they will make so much noise that it will convince so many ignorant and naive non-Jews to follow them, thinking there are so more of them than there actually are.
I’ll say it so my Jewish friends don’t need to:
These secular anti-Zionist Jews aren’t really Jews anymore.
If you don’t believe in the God of the Torah and you don’t believe that a state based on His principles deserves to exist then you don’t count as a Jew anymore. It doesn’t matter if you went through Bar Mitzvah and enjoy your morning bagels. You have sacrificed your Jew card. Congratulations.
This shouldn’t be complicated.
If somone born and raised Jewish then converts to Christianity or Islam then we all understand they’re now a Christian or a Muslim.
Yet if a Jew abandons the religion and moral values of his people and embraces the values of secularism and leftism, then he still counts as a Jew?
How does that make any sense?
The idea of an “atheist Jew” should be as absurd and paradoxical on its face as an “atheist Christian” or an “atheist Muslim” or a Kosher King Crab.
One might then ask, well, what about the larger chunk of secular Jews who do support Israel’s right to exist as a Jewish state? They certainly represent an important part of the 87 percent support and a lot of them are atheists.
No, they aren’t as atheist as they think. They may not be diving in the deep end of the Jewish pool with the kabbalists but dipping their heels in the shallow end still counts. They still believe enough to count as a Jew. One does not need to dunk their head under the water to still count as “in the pool.”
Secular Zionist Jews are still practing a part of their religion whether they realize it or not.
The belief that the Jews’ homeland deserves defending is not just a political belief, but a religious one. Secular Jews may offer rationalizations for their position but that does not matter. When a robber beats a man in the streets then the reason why the bystander rushes in to stop the attack does not really matter much to the victim.
Hillel the Elder defined the entirety of the Bible in three sentences in a famous challenge:
“That which is hateful to you, do not do to your fellow. That is the entire Torah, and the rest is its commentary. Now go and study.”
Anyone who embraces this belief counts as a Jew. The rest is up for perpetual, joyous, loving debate.
If you are Christian, Muslim, Atheist, Buddhist, Scientologist, Pastafarian — you count as a Jew too when you vow not to inflict hatred onto other humans.
So what then of those allgedly in the Jewish tradition who reject this call?
Why do they do this?
The self-hating Jew is not at all a unique phenomenon.
In all groups, there are individuals with suicidal tendencies. They hate themselves and they want to die. Yet instead of going forward with the act or seeking mental health treatment to overcome it, they choose to project their self-hatred outwards to harm others.
They want revenge for the pain they feel.
There will always be a small minority of people like this in every group with some individuals manifesting in extreme forms.
The most infamous term representing this phenomenon is the “kapo” during World War II, the Jews who collaborated with Nazis in oppressing other Jews in the concentration camps.
The Holocaust Encyclopedia features this photograph of former kapo Emil Erwin Mahl who participated in the executions of fellow Jews at Dachau. He would be convicted for war crimes and sentenced to death, which was later commuted to 15 years imprisonment:
Not all self-hating Jews were so extreme.
Many were monstrous in other ways.
Who is the most famous suicidal, self-hating Jew of the 20th century?
On Tuesday, Scribner published American Scoundrel: Roy Cohn’s Dark Journey from Joe McCarthy to Donald Trump by Kai Bird with Susan Goldmark. My friend Chris Yogerst, the acclaimed Hollywood historian who wrote the definitive biography of the Warner Brothers, recently published a video announcing his eagerness to explore the book:
The 528-page tome tells all about the man who helped execute Julius an Ethel Rosenberg before traineingour future Commander-in-Chief in the dark arts which led to his presidential victories. Cohn lived a life as a criminal masquerading as a lawyer, a serial liar and friend of mobsters, known for racism and antisemitism. Ultimately his hidden existence as a gay man living recklessly in the 1980s led to his death from AIDS, immortalized for all time in Al Pacino’s greatest acting peformance, HBO’s 2003 “Angels in America” miniseries:
Men and women like Cohn and Mahl show up in every group because this feeling of hating oneself and then coping with it by projecting the hate outwards toward others in the group is a universal across humanity and history.
For women, we see it in criminals like Ghislaine Maxwell, who chose to dedicate her live to the criminal exploitation of girls and young women. Just as a minority of Jews hates other Jews, a minority of women really do hate other women:
It’s worth concluding by noting how this tendency traditionally shows up in the Black American tradition. Blacks who collaborate with white supremacy have typically received the slur of house slaves, Uncle Toms, or Aunt Jemimas.
So who does that label most stick on today?
As the sun begins to set on 2026, the Black person who has most positioned themselves as a servant of white supremacy is clearly Candace Owens.
With her decision to use antisemitism and conspiracism to grow her media brand, she has boosted white supremacist and neo-fascist ideologies. It does not matter that she is Black. She is a fellow traveler of the white supremacists and a mercenary out to fill her piggybank.
People may look at Candace and think she loves herself too much. That she’s a narcissist.
That’s not really true, though. Narcissists don’t really love themselves at all. They’re obsessed with themselves and crippled with self-loathing. They do not have authentic self-love.
Candace hates herself.
If she did not then she could present her authentic self instead of choosing to play an absurd cartoon character on the national stage, gaslighting everyone to think she is being sincere when she clearly is not.
We all know Candace does not actually believe anything she says. Most antisemites don’t really believe what they say. They know that it is absurd yet they say it anyway. Stop pretending that Candace does believe what she says and has somehow “gone crazy.” This is an act.
People who authentically love themselves, who have built a foundation of love as the basis of their life, in turn love other people. It just emerges naturally. They don’t need to play pretend or create some fake persona.
However, those who do not end up destroying themselves.
And sometimes they take a lot of us along with them.
