Israel’s fight is a test for the West: does it still have the courage to call out evil and champion good?

Of Good Courage unfolds as an urgent intergenerational conversation between Israeli ambassador Yechiel Leiter, a seasoned diplomat and grieving father whose eldest son fell while leading soldiers in Gaza, and Sabrina Soffer, who was thrust into the battle over antisemitism and Israel on her campus and refused to back down.

With a foreword by Mike Huckabee, this book bridges generations as well as faiths. Leiter and Soffer make the case that Jews and Christians must unite to restore moral clarity by reviving the pillars of Western civilization, embodied in one of the most maligned yet most direly needed ideas of our time: Zionism.

October seventh exposed the stark divide between those who cherish life and those who glorify death. Just as shocking was the response in the West. Elite universities and city streets teemed with celebrations of Hamas’s barbarism. Professors and students twisted terrorism into legitimate “resistance” and recast murder as liberation.

How did chanting “from the river to the sea,” calling for Israel’s elimination, become mainstream? How could good be taken for evil and evil for good, and lies taken for truth and truth for lies?

In answering these questions, the narrative alternates between the voices of Leiter and Soffer, framing their reflections around Ambassador Leiter’s son Moshe, while revealing their evolving friendship in counterpoint. Each chapter interweaves historical and philosophical nodes, lessons in leadership, study, and travel. The battle against Hamas, Iran, and its proxies is understood as a microcosm of the larger battle for the West.
