National Conservatism · Public domain

An Israeli-American philosopher and Bible scholar who leads the Herzl Institute in Jerusalem and chairs the Edmund Burke Foundation, making the intellectual case for national conservatism at a time when the idea had few academic defenders. His 2018 book The Virtue of Nationalism and 2022's Conservatism: A Rediscovery argued for the nation-state as a positive political good rather than a danger to be managed, reshaping debate on the right in both Israel and the United States.
