Hanukkah (or Chanukah) is an eight-day Jewish festival of lights celebrating the rededication of the Second Temple in Jerusalem after the Maccabean Revolt, marked by the miracle of a small oil supply lasting eight days. Celebrated with nightly menorah lighting, special foods fried in oil (like latkes and sufganiyot), dreidel games, and gifts, it symbolizes light triumphing over darkness and religious freedom, typically falling in November or December.
The new Superman movie, which opened July 11, stars David Corenswet, whose Jewish background has been something of a hot topic since his casting was announced back in June, 2023.
The Jewish press covered it extensively, as did several mainstream outlets like Rolling Stone and CNN. They wondered how Jewish Corenswet is (per JTA: paternally Jewish, from a family with strong generational ties to a reform shul, who married a Catholic in a ceremony co-officiated by a rabbi, and spoke at a Jewish Pride event), and whether that matters to the film.
The reason for this interest, for those not in the know, is that Superman is Jewish. Not the one on the page—he’s an alien from planet Krypton who was raised in Kansas. He’s canonically Christian, usually depicted as a nonpracticing Methodist or Protestant. The one in the real world—he’s a Jewish character.
Created by two Jewish teenagers, Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster, the sons of immigrants from Eastern Europe, Superman was the very first superhero, the archetype, the urtext. He’s where superhero tropes like capes and tights and briefs worn as outer layer come from. He’s also the point source of core themes like secret identities, tireless pursuit of truth and justice and dedication to the community. This arguably makes the superhero genre a Jewish creation, too.
These origins, as well as the comic book industry’s heavily Jewish history and modern-day questions of Jewish representation, were the subject of a 2023 exhibit at the Center for Jewish History (of which AJHS is a partner), JewCE: The Jewish Comics Experience, as well as two conventions. The exhibition is travelling internationally through 2028, and has inspired an award-winning short documentary of the same name.
Corenswet’s Jewish heritage may not be important to the film, but the attention it’s gotten shows a meaningfulness. After 87 years, Superman being played by a Jewish actor is a homecoming of sorts.

A court summons issued against Reginald D Hunter has been quashed after a judge said Campaign Against Antisemitism misled him when bringing a private prosecution against the comedian.
The district judge Michael Snow said the group’s motive in seeking to prosecute Hunter was “to have him cancelled” and ruled the prosecution “abusive”.
He said Campaign Against Antisemitism (CAA) had “demonstrated by the misleading and partial way in which it summarised its application and its wilful, repeated failure to meet its disclosure obligations that its true and sole motive in seeking to prosecute RH is to have him cancelled. I have no doubt that the prosecution is abusive.”
The US standup comedian had been accused of three counts of sending an offensive communication on three occasions – on 24 August, 10 and 11 September last year – to Heidi Bachram on social media. A summons was issued in the case.
But after an application from the defence, Snow said the CAA had sought to use the criminal justice system for “improper reasons” and that he would have refused to issue the summons had all the information been laid before him.
In a judgment delivered at Westminster magistrates court on Tuesday, he said the CAA was “seeking to use the criminal justice system, in this case for improper reasons”.

Genocide Gere:
The idea did not originate in Mexico. Years earlier, Gere and his wife, Alejandra Silva, were staying on a remote beach in the Dominican Republic when a developer approached him, first for an autograph and then for his involvement in a project. Gere initially declined, but the question lingered. “He said, ‘If there was a situation you could imagine being involved in, what would it look like?’” Gere recalls.
The couple began sketching a hypothetical blueprint grounded in unspoiled land, deep integration with local communities, environmentally respectful architecture, and a model that could be replicated elsewhere. “You could imagine a utopian situation of a virgin beach, virgin land, and happy people,” Gere says. “A marriage of protecting the land and developing in such a way that the new owners would be benevolent and want to be part of the local community.” For two years, they researched everything from energy conservation to architectural models, speaking with experts around the world. Ultimately, that partnership did not align, and they walked away.
No late payments of Student Loans for Jew Gere: Trump administration will start to garnish wages for defaulted student loans
The Trump administration will begin to garnish wages from student loan borrowers who are in default next month, the Department of Education confirmed on Tuesday.
The big picture: The stepped-up collection effort follows several moves this year that will make things more difficult for holders of student loans.
- Those moves include ending a five-year repayment pause and the One Big, Beautiful Bill Act that will substantially reduce the number of repayment plans.
Driving the news: The Department of Education has said for months now that it will begin to forcibly seize pay from borrowers, and it’s set to begin the week of Jan. 7.
- The department will start to notify about 1,000 defaulted borrowers of plans to withhold some of their wages, a spokesperson told Axios in a statement.
- Notices will increase “in scale on a month-to-month basis,” the department said.
What they’re saying: “This Administration’s decision to garnish wages from defaulted student loan borrowers is cruel, unnecessary and irresponsible,” Persis Yu, deputy executive director of the advocacy group Protect Borrowers, said in a statement.
State of play: After a five-year penalty pause, the 5.3 million borrowers in default could now see their wages garnished if they don’t resume payments.

Even as US beef prices have continued to surge, American cattle ranchers have come under increased financial pressure—and a new report from More Perfect Union claims that this is due in part to industry consolidation in the meat-packing industry.
Bill Bullard, the CEO of the trade association R-CALF USA, explained to More Perfect Union that cattle ranchers are essentially at the bottom of the pyramid in the beef-producing process, while the top is occupied by “four meat packers controlling 80% of the market.”
Oh, darn, inverted totalitarianism, is CAPTIALISM.
“We need to create an economic environment in this country that favors competition,” he said. “That’s what a free market is. A free market isn’t three or four big people or big corporations controlling everything.”

[ikud parliament member Miki Zohar reacts during an arrangements committee meeting at the Knesset, the Israeli parliament in Jerusalem, January 13, 2020.]
Shit dawg, Jew Unions for Actors and Cinema? A dispute over the future of Israeli cinema, which erupted between the country’s filmmaking community and Culture and Sport Minister Miki Zohar, has been heating up this week. On Monday, Zohar announced the establishment of a professional committee to reexamine government budgeting for the cinema industry, which may lead to the withdrawal of all funding.
The Cinema Law currently guarantees about NIS 130 million for movies made in Israel.
He delivered another blow to the industry on Monday, announcing that public funding for professional creators’ unions in movies and television will be discontinued beginning in 2026. These unions include those for directors, actors, producers, and editors.
[Water treatment and landfill companies given chance to make case that EPA rules should not apply to them]
Do you smell that Jew Zelgin (EPA cunt) in the house? Republicans are attempting to exempt some major polluters from paying for Pfas “forever chemical” cleanup. If successful, it could mark a major setback in US effort to rein in Pfas pollution.
The Republican-led House energy and commerce committee recently held a hearing at which it invited representatives from the water treatment and landfill industries, among others, to make the case about why they should be exempted from rules that hold polluters financially accountable for the cleanup of two types of dangerous Pfas.
Water treatment plants and landfills are major polluters and represent critical points in the effort to curb Pfas water pollution nationwide. Utilities already have to remove hundreds of chemicals, so it is unclear why they are so opposed to removing two types of Pfas, said Scott Faber, vice-president of government affairs for the Environmental Working Group non-profit.
How many days before XMAS? 12 Days of F*ck Israel – Day 9 – September 2025
In January 2024 (four months into the ongoing genocide), Hamas issued a similar document under the same title, Our Narrative. That document listed seven reasons behind October 7:
- Israeli Judaization plans for the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque
- Israeli attempts to annex the entire West Bank and Jerusalem
- The horrific treatment of Palestinian detainees
- The 17-year blockade of the Gaza Strip
- The unprecedented expansion of Jewish settlements in the West Bank
- The precarious state of 7 million Palestinians in refugee camps
- The failure of the international community in supporting the Palestinian cause
The latest document essentially recounts the same reasons for the Flood. However, more comprehensive in scope, this version addresses several additional dimensions of the operation and its wider implications, which were previously not explained at the institutional level by the leading Palestinian resistance faction.
“October 7, 2023, was no sudden event; it was another chapter in the ongoing struggle with the Israeli occupation,” the latest Hamas document explains. It adds:
The Al-Aqsa Flood operation is not a passing memory but the foundation of a historic, pivotal stage in the journey of our cause—a stage in which the Zionist narrative was exposed in its own strongholds across the world. The true nature of this enemy was laid bare before the peoples of humanity, it was placed in the dock of international courts, its defeat was proven possible, and Palestine advanced in the global battle for consciousness, heralding a change in the unjust environment that allowed this entity to grow through treachery and aggression.
Gilad Atzmon has created a firestorm of controversy with this examination of Jewish identity, so I read it with some trepidation.
In the end I found it an engaging read, simply written, about complex ideas. He refuses to hedge words, to compromise in order to create allies, and in some cases he seems to have gone over the top, intentionally provoking friends and enemies alike.
Atzmon grew up in Israel, the grandson of one of the radical founders of Israel. As a youth, his burgeoning fascination with the saxophone and jazz music led him to a different understanding of Zionism – something cemented by his experiences in the Israeli Defence Force.
Now a well known international jazz musician, his irrepressible, emotional style flows through this book.
Atzmon’s main target is Jewish exceptionalism, and he dissects the phenomenon using the tools of his education in philosophy. And while one suspects that Atzmon is more comfortable as a musician than as a philosopher, what he discovers is critical in understanding Jewish identity and the continuing evolution of Israel.
This book is directed primarily at Jews, but anyone interested in identity politics – or in any aspect of the Israeli/Palestinian conflict – will find it fascinating, if a little bit like watching someone smashing windows.
Gilad begins his book, The Wandering Who? with a brief story of his childhood and the tremendous influence of his grandfather on his adolescence. He writes “my grandfather was a charismatic, poetic, veteran zionist terrorist. A former prominent commander in the right-wing Irgun terrorist organization …” He writes about his attraction to jazz, his enlistment in the IDF (Israel Defense Force), and finally being sent to the first Lebanon war. He writes of his experience in Lebanon saying:
I studied the detainees. The looked very different to the Palestinians in Jerusalem. The ones I saw in Ansar were angry. They were not defeated, they were freedom fighters and they were numerous. As we continued past the barbed wire I continued gazing at the inmates, and arrived at an unbearable truth: I was walking on the other side, in Israeli military uniform. The place was a concentration camp. The inmates were the ‘Jews’, and I was nothing but a ‘Nazi’. It took me years to admit to myself that even the binary opposition Jew/Nazi was in itself as result of my Judeo-centric indoctrination.
This becomes the focal point of the transformation in Gilad’s young character. He writes “This was enough for me. I realized that my affair with the Israeli state and with Zionism was over.” In TheWandering Who?, Gilad divides Jews into three main categories: (1), those who follow Judaism; (2), those who regard themselves as human beings who happen to be of Jewish origin; and (3), those who put their Jewishness over and above all of their other traits. He regards the first two categories as harmless and innocent groups of people. Gilad is not so kind to the third category, however. This group is the primary focus in his book. He goes beyond the what to the how and why. Like a forensic scientist, he dissects them piece by piece historically, economically, philosophically, psychologically, and politically.
Zionism: A Global Network
Israel is not a colonial power and does not function as such. Colonial powers form an equilibrium with the indigenous peoples whose land they occupy. They have a parasitic nature that knows their survival is based on cooperation with and even helping the indigenous peoples, albeit on a very minimum level. We have seen this with the colonization of India by the British, Algeria and Morocco by the French, and South Africa by Afrikana apartheid. Israel’s function is more that of a cancer that consumes its host resources until there is nothing left, consequently destroying itself as a result. As Farid Esack, a South African scholar, writer and political activist, known for his opposition to apartheid, says in his open letter to the Palestinian people, “Israel is not an apartheid, it’s worse.”
Gilad also writes:
Zionism is not a colonial movement with an interest in Palestine, as some scholars suggest. Zionism is actually a global movement that is fuelled by a unique tribal solidarity of third category members.
Zionism: Realm of Hungry Ghosts and Animals
By referring to hungry ghosts and animals the intention is not to dehumanize Zionists but is a reference, from a Buddhist teaching, to two of the six realms of existence, describing states of mind that human beings inhabit at any given time. The hungry ghost realm applies to those who are never satisfied, perpetually discontented no matter what they have. The animal realm refers to those without reason, who function solely by instinct and are incapable of identification with others. As Gilad put it:
Also, considering the racist, expansionist Judeo-centric nature of the Jewish State, the Diaspora Jew finds himself or herself intrinsically associated with a bigoted, enthnocentric ideology and an endless list of crimes against humanity.
Israel is the only country recognized by the United Nations without any roots in the land it occupies. In 1947, the newly formed United Nations brought a group of people from the four corners of the planet and located them in one place and called this ‘chicken soup’ the State of Israel. But more was needed in order to legitimize this newly made nation. They needed national history, which they conveniently borrowed from the Bible. It did not matter how fictional the Biblical story of Jews are. As Gilad put it, “the Jewish people is a made-up notion consisting of an imaginary past with very little to back it up forensically, historically, or textually.”
Zionists’ claim of Jewish ancestral homeland is echoed by the Christian right and Christian Zionists primarily in the historically ignorant United States population, 20% of whom still believe the earth is flat, and 55% regard evolution as a hoax. Furthermore, the majority of people in the U.S. accept the Bible as a historical and factual book.
The magical and yet extremely subtle gift that Gilad Atzmon offers through his personal journeys in The Wandering Who? is the wisdom of disillusionment; the gift of not floating above water, but having to take an insightful dive into a shrouded underworld of appearances and disappearances. He disarms his critics beforehand by saying: “I am a proud self-hating Jew”.
Although Gilad discusses an extremely sensitive phenomenon in every sense of its meaning and implications, nothing is taboo for him; even those subjects which have been expressly forbidden to explore lest one be labeled anti-Semitic or worse. Gilad recalls: “While in the past an anti-Semite was someone who hates Jews, nowadays it is the other way around, an anti-Semite is someone the Jews hate.”
Further on he writes about Holocaust as a religion:
To a certain extent, the Holocaust religion signals the final Jewish departure from monotheism, for every Jew is potentially a little God or Goddess. Abe Foxman is the God of anti-defamation, Alan Greenspan the God of ‘good economy’, Milton Friedman is the God of ‘free markets’, Lord Goldsmith the God of the ‘green light’, Lord Levy the God of fundraising, Paul Wolfowitz the God of US ‘moral interventionism’. AIPAC (the American-Israel Public Affairs Committee) is the American Olympus, where mortals elected in the US come to beg for mercy, forgiveness for being Goyim and for a bit of cash.
Whether or not one agrees with Atzmon’s views, his book would propel Jews and non-Jews equally toward a better understanding of Israel, Zionism, and Jewish identity, beyond news headlines or state propaganda. This book is the odyssey of one man’s transformation within transformation, the end of which is yet to be written.
