A Place IDF Soldiers Can Speak for Themselves
OCTOBER 29, 2025: “The newest issue of White Rose Magazine, titled ‘Bearing Witness: IDF Testimonies,’ features first-hand accounts of primarily young reservists who were invited to write their own stories from the war that began after the terror attacks of Oct. 7, 2023.
In an editor’s note, executive editor Ben Poser called the issue ‘its own form of Shabbat,’ describing it as a haven for soldiers whose humanity, he wrote, has been erased by media that ‘speak of Israeli soldiers while invariably obscuring their own voices.’”

JIHAD: Is it Separable from Islam? Where did it Originate? Was October 7th Jihad?
OCTOBER 15, 2025: “In this riveting and timely conversation, Ben Poser discusses the integral role of jihad in Islam. He explores the historical role of Muhammad in shaping Islamic teachings and the implications of jihad on global conflicts and violence today, particularly in relation to the October 7th attacks. The discussion emphasizes the urgent need for understanding how jihad is impacting our world today. Israel’s war against jihadists who are claiming the Holy Land ‘from the river to the sea’ is also our war against Islam’s intent to conquer the world—especially territories once under Muslim domination.”

The threat from the death cult of Islam
AUGUST 21, 2025: “According to JNS editor-in-chief Jonathan Tobin, Americans and many in the West seem to be blind to the threat posed by radical Islam and Islamist movements.… He’s joined in this week’s ‘Think Twice’ by Ben Poser, the executive editor of White Rose Magazine, which has devoted its most recent issue to a discussion of what it describes as ‘the death cult of Islam.’ Poser believes that in the name of tolerance and pluralism, many in the West fail to understand that jihadist terror groups and their advocates aren’t so much distorting Islam as they are a reflection of its basic beliefs and texts. Moreover, the claim by Muslim apologists that the word ‘jihad’ is merely about internal struggle rather than faith-based commitment to aggression and terror against non-Muslims is a deception.”

Illiberal wokeness is waging a war on free speech and the Jews

The Need for Classic Liberal Values
by Karen Lehrman Bloch
APRIL 18, 2021: “In 1942, a group of students at the University of Munich formed an intellectual resistance group called the Weiße Rose—White Rose. The group’s aim was to urge Germans to resist and overturn the Nazi regime; in the process, they exposed the Nazis’ crimes for all the world to see.
Led by Hans Scholl, his sister Sophie, Alexander Schmorell, and Christoph Probst, the group distributed leaflets throughout Germany, and engaged in other acts of sabotage and resistance, such as writing ‘Freedom’ and ‘Down with Hitler’ on walls throughout Munich.”
