Jewish Insider is a Washington, D.C.–based digital news outlet that covers U.S. politics, foreign policy, and issues of interest to the American Jewish community. Its coverage includes political campaigns, public policy, and developments in Jewish communal life. Founded in 2015, it acquired eJewishPhilanthropy in 2021. eJP covers developments in Jewish philanthropy, communal institutions, and nonprofit leadership.

History

Jewish Insider, a daily news service based in Washington, D.C., was started by Max Neuberger. In 2015, Tribe Media Corp., owner of the Jewish Journal, acquired Jewish Insider.[1] In 2021, Jewish Insider acquired eJewishPhilanthropy.[2][3]

Jewish Insider has been characterized as right-leaning,[4] neoconservative,[5] and right-wing.[6][7] The New Republic has described Jewish Insider as a pro-Israel media outlet which falsely accuses Israel's critics of antisemitism.[7]

Notable coverage

In September 2024, Jewish Insider published an article repeating a claim by Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel that Representative Rashida Tlaib had said Nessel was targeting pro-Palestinian protesters at the University of Michigan due to being Jewish.[8][9][10] The false claim was debunked by the Metro Times.[11] Jewish Insider later updated its article, revising the wording without adding a correction by changing "claimed" to "suggested".[9][10] The Council on American–Islamic Relations (CAIR) condemned Jewish Insider and Nessel for perpetrating a "blatant and hateful hoax" against Tlaib.[12]

Jewish Insider first reported the antisemitic, misogynistic, and conspiratorial social media posts that led to the resignation of Chicago school board president Mitchell Johnson in 2024,[13][14] and the antisemitic social media posts of Kingsley Wilson, a Defense Department official in the Second Trump Administration.[15]
