Israel and Civilization by Josh Hammer is a contemporary political book exploring the ideological framework and geopolitical role of the Jewish state through a nationalist conservative lens. On the August 1, 2025 episode of The Ezra Klein Show titled The Man Driving the Nationalist Revival on the Right | The Ezra Klein Show, guest Yoram Hazony discussed the intellectual currents shaping the modern political right. During the conversation, Hazony highlighted a new book authored by Josh Hammer, whom he described as a prominent young Jewish nationalist conservative. Hazony introduced the title as part of an overview of key texts defining the rising nationalist movement, pointing to Hammer's work as a significant contribution to conservative political theory. The mention provided listeners with context regarding how younger conservative intellectuals are attempting to fuse traditional religious and cultural identity with statecraft and modern geopolitics. Hazony's recommendation situated the book as an important resource for understanding the evolving ideological debates within American conservatism concerning foreign policy, nationalism, and civilizational identity.
