Comic / An American Talisman

Eli Valley March 15, 2022

I’m Peter Beinart, editor-at-large of Jewish Currents. Before you go, I need to ask something of you.

In recent years, I’ve watched as mainstream Jewish institutions and media have chosen ethnonationalism over liberal democracy and mass slaughter over the pursuit of a just peace. Jewish Currents offers something different. It’s a magazine built on intellectual curiosity and respect for the dignity of all people.

But a project like this doesn’t sustain itself, and we can’t do it without your help. If you share my belief in the importance of this mission, please consider making a donation—or even better, a recurring one. We need you with us.

Eli Valley is a Jewish Currents contributing writer. His comics collection Diaspora Boy: Comics on Crisis in America and Israel, and his new book, Museum of Degenerates: Portraits of the American Grotesque, are available from OR Books.
