Episodes

Ep. 232: Concern about antisemitism on the right isn’t a plot against Vance 11.01.2026

The vice president won’t distance himself from a dogmatic faction of Jew-haters led by Tucker Carlson. That’s why some Republicans are drawing conclusions about him.

Ep. 231: What normalizing antisemitism looks like 09.01.2026

If Mamdani’s bigotry and obsessive hate of Israel don’t seem to bother most New Yorkers and even many Jews, then it illustrates how prejudice has become mainstreamed.

Ep. 230: Has time finally run out for Tehran’s Islamist tyrants? 08.01.2026

The country is falling apart, pushed to the brink by failing resources and a nuclear defeat last summer. But as long as its minions are ready to slaughter dissidents, the ayatollahs will remain in power.

Ep. 229: Venezuela, Trump and the end of the liberal world order 06.01.2026

Critics say the capture of Maduro proves that the president is destroying the post-war international system. They fail to see that its preservation won’t defend the West or Israel.

Ep. 228: Mamdani’s ‘collectivism’ is dangerous to Jews and everyone else 04.01.2026

Among the first acts of New York’s new mayor was a signal that, notwithstanding his disingenuous promises, antisemitism will be defended by his administration.

Ep. 227: Who has the right to judge Netanyahu for the events of Oct. 7? 04.01.2026

The government can’t be trusted to investigate itself, but neither can institutions that are biased against it. History will render its verdict; in the meantime, it should be left to Israel’s voters.

Ep. 226: Despite warning signs, the US-Israel alliance is still solid 30.12.2025

With antisemitism surging on both the left and the right, the future remains uncertain. But the Trump-Netanyahu meeting is a reminder that the Jewish state is winning—and not alone.

Ep. 225: Christian genocide in Nigeria and the war on Israel 28.12.2025

The U.S. strikes on Islamists in Africa ordered by President Trump put into perspective the hypocrisy and double standards of Israel’s critics on the left and the right.

Ep. 224: Mamdani’s team of Jew-haters will change New York 25.12.2025

Why be surprised when this particular candidate, whose political career has been based on an obsession with destroying Israel, hires scores of antisemites to staff his administration?

Ep. 223: Like the left, the conservative big tent won’t exclude antisemites 24.12.2025

Vice President JD Vance had an opportunity to establish some boundaries at the Turning Point USA AmericaFest. He specifically chose not to.

Ep. 222: Sorry, JD, antisemitism and ‘not liking Israel’ aren’t that different 22.12.2025

Why is U.S. Vice President Vance staking out a position that aligns him with young conservative Zoomers who are against the Jews and the Jewish state?

Ep. 221: Norman Podhoretz’s intellectual journey and the fate of American Jewry 18.12.2025

The “Commentary” editor’s career epitomized both the success of 20th- century Jews and an awakening to the peril posed by the moral collapse of political liberalism.

Ep. 220: A painful reminder of the true meaning of Chanukah 16.12.2025

The Bondi Beach massacre is the result of incitement rooted in demonization of Israel. The only response must be a defiant refusal to let the antisemites and their enablers prevail.

Ep. 219: Tucker Carlson and the Qatar First Republicans are sabotaging Trump 15.12.2025

Americans fawned over the emirate at the Doha Forum love fest for the home office of Islamist terror. They’re setting the president up for a fall as well as fueling antisemitism.

Ep. 218: How to regulate synagogue protests? Marginalize anti-Israel blood libels 07.12.2025

If Jewish houses of worship are now as controversial as abortion clinics, then antisemitism has reached a tipping point that requires a stronger response than mere buffer zones.

Ep. 217: Israel needs an end to lawfare, not a presidential pardon 03.12.2025

There are reasons to oppose the push to pardon Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that originated with President Donald Trump. But his farcical trial should still end.

Ep. 216: Does it matter that they’re lying about Israel? 27.11.2025

The blood libels against Israel keep being repeated, even as evidence that the charges of genocide and starvation were untrue continues to pile up.

Ep. 215: Can’t fight the Muslim Brotherhood while groveling to Qatar 26.11.2025

The Trump administration’s move toward designating the Islamist group as terrorists is long overdue. But it makes no sense to treat the Brotherhood’s sponsor as an ally.

Ep. 214: The siege of Park East Synagogue and cooperating with Mamdani 23.11.2025

Some leaders think they must make nice with the mayor-elect. But how can you work with a hostile mayor who openly sympathizes with those attacking Jewish houses of worship?

Ep. 213: Defending the Judeo-Christian tradition 60 years after ‘Nostra Aetate’ 21.11.2025

Tucker Carlson, Nick Fuentes and their enablers aren’t really arguing about foreign policy or “gatekeeping.” Their focus is on splitting Jews from their Christian allies.

Ep. 212: Trump’s UN victory is a path to a stalemate in Gaza 21.11.2025

Though Palestinian statehood remains a non-starter, the U.S. scheme is likely to result in part of the coastal enclave remaining in the hands of Hamas, not usher in an era of peace.

Ep 211: Trump’s defense of Carlson: Free speech doesn’t come without judgment 18.11.2025

The liberal establishment stifled debate and smeared its foes, discrediting “gatekeeping.” But that’s no excuse for being neutral about real neo-Nazis and antisemites.

Ep. 210: Begin reducing US aid to Israel, not extending it 16.11.2025

Reports about a 20-year plan of assistance make sense since most of it is spent in and strengthens America. But dependence on Washington is also a long-term liability.

Ep. 209: Can the ADL go back to defending the Jews? 13.11.2025

Under fire from the left for speaking up against Mamdani and resented by the right for a decade of partisanship and woke betrayal, the organization stands at a crossroads.

Ep. 208: Republicans need JD Vance to debunk the ‘Israel First’ smear 12.11.2025

A failure to stop the antisemitic effort to slander supporters of the U.S.-Israel alliance allows extremists to thrive and diverts attention from Qatar’s influence operation.
