Episodes

Ep. 307: Rahm Emanuel and the persistent delusion of failed policies 10.07.2026

The veteran politician foolishly thinks that he can carve out a middle ground for 2028 between antisemitism and “blind” support for Israel by recycling the two-state solution.

Ep. 306: Are the Democrats to become America’s anti-Israel party? 07.07.2026

The prospects for two Pennsylvania Democrats paint a dismal picture. And right now, it’s difficult to envision the party nominating a presidential candidate who supports the Jewish state.

Ep. 305: On its 250th birthday, Jews mustn’t abandon the fight for America 03.07.2026

If the United States is lost to the woke left or the woke right, the consequences for Jews and the world are unimaginable. Now isn’t the time to write it off.

Ep. 304: The Israel they hate is imaginary 02.07.2026

The younger generation’s opposition to a “genocidal” Jewish state has become one of the organizing principles of U.S. politics. But these toxic beliefs have nothing to do with the actual place.

Ep. 303: Who will win the Trump foreign-policy “Apprentice” contest? 02.07.2026

U.S. Vice President JD Vance and U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio are pursuing competing approaches to Iran and Lebanon. Is this a genius grand strategy or destructive chaos?

Ep. 302: Dan Goldman, and the decline and fall of liberal Jewish Democrats 28.06.2026

In Zohran Mamdani’s Democratic Party, only those who bend the knee to antisemitic ideology have a place. Is this the end of an era for American Jewish life?

Ep. 301: The JD Vance foreign-policy test ride is a disaster 24.06.2026

Whether he succeeds in getting a “peace” agreement with Iran or not, the vice president’s attempt at appeasement isn’t going to help him or President Trump.

Ep. 300: Who will stand with Israel against a new Iran deal? 18.06.2026

Back in 2015, the GOP and most Americans opposed Obama’s appeasement of Tehran. Now, Democrats are against Israel on any issue, and Republicans will not defy Trump.

Ep. 299: Trump’s chaos and incoherence have led to failure on Iran 16.06.2026

The damage that Israel and the United States did to the Islamist terror regime was undone by an agreement that rewards Tehran and vindicates former President Barack Obama.

Ep. 298: ‘The New York Times’ blood libel against Israel should be mocked 14.06.2026

Cultural elites backing the newspaper’s ludicrous claim about Israelis training dogs to rape Palestinian Arabs should be condemned. Not those with the guts to call them out.

Ep. 297: Is Donald Trump still the tough-minded leader he claims to be? 11.06.2026

If he concludes a nuclear deal with Iran that is, at best, only marginally better than Obama’s, then the implications for the Middle East and his presidency will be devastating.

Ep. 296: What’s behind the campaign to demonize Israel inside Trumpworld? 09.06.2026

Dubious leaks about the Jewish state spying on America signify an effort to break up a valued alliance by those whose motives are rooted in antisemitic conspiracies.

Ep. 295: Even when he disappoints Israel, Trump is better than the alternative 07.06.2026

The president’s mercurial approach to the conflict with Iran is frustrating and potentially disastrous. But compared to Kamala Harris, Jerusalem and American Jews are still better off.

Ep. 294: Why are they really boycotting AIPAC? Bigotry 07.06.2026

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu speaks at the AIPAC conference in Washington D.C, March 6, 2018. Credit: Haim Zach/GPO.

Ep. 293: The parade was no place for an anti-Zionist Jew-hater 03.06.2026

Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s absence from New York City’s annual Israel Day shindig was appropriate. But efforts to deny his antisemitism by citing a skewed poll point to deeper problems.

Ep. 292: Who should speak for Israel? The case for Caroline Glick 31.05.2026

Pearl-clutching about the veteran journalist possibly being sent to the New York consulate misses the point. The Jewish state needs bold advocates more than traditional diplomats.

Ep. 291: Liberal Judaism is doomed if it won’t fight anti-Zionism 29.05.2026

Reform Rabbi Ammiel Hirsch is challenging his movement to stop ordaining anti-Zionist clergy. Yet his colleagues don’t want to make hard choices about leftist antisemitism.

Ep. 290: Republicans are fighting a battle for their souls Democrats already lost 27.05.2026

While the future of the GOP as a pro-Israel party may be in doubt, right now, the Democrats are mainstreaming anti-Zionism and Jew-hatred.

Ep. 289: Israel’s ambassador spoke a hard truth that needed to be said 21.05.2026

Groups like J Street and Jews who support New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani aren’t just criticizing Jerusalem. They are assisting a globalized intifada against their own people.

Ep. 288: The four reasons why we can’t move on from a blood libel 20.05.2026

“The New York Times” and its enablers are counting on the public’s short attention span and “suicidal empathy” of liberal Jews to bury Nicholas Kristof’s lie about rapist dogs in Israel.

Ep. 287: Antisemitism transformed Thomas Massie from libertarian extremist to liberal hero 19.05.2026

The anti-Trump congressman from Kentucky is blaming his primary woes on Israel and Zionist billionaires. And the liberal press and Jew-haters everywhere are cheering for him.

Ep. 286: Shabbat and 250 years of a nation of faith and liberty 17.05.2026

The resistance to President Donald Trump’s celebration of the Sabbath in the semiquincentennial is partisan folly and denial of the importance of religion in U.S. history.

Ep. 285: ‘Rapist dogs?’ Woke journalism’s antisemitic war on Israel crosses a line 15.05.2026

"The New York Times” publication of absurd blood libels and conspiracies requires more than polite protests. Those who defend it or won’t shame and shun it are also to blame.

Ep. 284: Abe Foxman and the quest for Jewish security 14.05.2026

While leading the ADL for three decades, he epitomized many of the best things about the community he defended. But Jewish liberalism’s failures cloud his legacy.

Ep. 283: Antisemitism, Islam and the future of the GOP 08.05.2026

The red-green alliance of Marxists and Islamists is fueling hatred for Jews and Israel among young people, while giving Tucker Carlson and Megyn Kelly a new audience.
