Episodes

Ep. 182: Jerry Seinfeld is right about the meaning of ‘Free Palestine’ 14.09.2025

The comedian is being bashed for comparing those who wish to erase Israel to the Ku Klux Klan.

Ep. 181: Violence is the natural next step of academic intolerance 14.09.2025

The assassination of Charlie Kirk at one of his campus debates is a reminder that the culture that normalized violent protests is one step away from far worse tragedies.

Ep. 180: America’s unreliable Middle East ‘ally’ is Qatar, not Israel 11.09.2025

The foreign-policy establishment’s outrage about the strike on Hamas leaders is sheer hypocrisy. What needs to change is Washington’s reliance on the Islamists in Doha.

Ep. 179: The destructive impulse to moralize about a zero-sum conflict 09.09.2025

The claim that Israel will “lose” if it is falsely perceived as too brutal to its genocidal enemies is an exercise in navel-gazing, not a serious accounting of the Jewish soul.

Ep. 178: There’s no constitutional protection for violating Jewish students’ civil rights 07.09.2025

A federal judge ignored the causes of antisemitism at Harvard and ruled against the Trump administration’s defunding of it. That should not stand.

Ep. 177: Jerry Nadler and the moral collapse of American Jewish liberals 04.09.2025

The career of the retiring Manhattan congressman demonstrates the way partisan Democrats have abandoned support of Israel for leftist applause.

Ep. 176: Trump and Rubio reject the Palestinian victimhood narrative 03.09.2025

Forget the U.N. statehood charade. A Palestinian Authority that subsidizes terror and a population indoctrinated in Islamist hate ought to be denied entry to the United States.

Ep. 175: The last stand of pro-Israel Democrats 31.08.2025

The DNC could have sent a message of partial support for the Jewish state. Instead, it encouraged the pro-Hamas left and delayed hopes for a comeback.

Ep. 174: Year three of the siege on Jewish students begins 31.08.2025

Blood libels against Israel may reignite campus antisemitism. Administrators who tolerate the targeting of Jews, however, will have to reckon with President Donald Trump.

Ep. 173: Only a rule-breaking administration can truly combat antisemitism 28.08.2025

An ambassador’s broadside aimed at French President Emmanuel Macron is another example of how Trump 2.0 is prioritizing the battle against a rising tide of Jew-hatred.

Ep. 172: Yes, the whole world is wrong about Israel 27.08.2025

Even some who say they don’t hate the Jewish state yet rely only on the mainstream media for news think that there must be some truth to the “genocide” blood libel. Challenging it isn’t easy.

Ep. 171: Everybody wants a Palestinian state, except the Palestinians 24.08.2025

They’ve consistently rejected one if it meant living in peace with a Jewish state. Do the idea’s advocates understand that their goal is Israel’s extinction, or do they want that, too?

Ep. 170: The Jewish establishment is still failing on campus antisemitism 22.08.2025

Unlike the Trump administration’s efforts, those who purport to represent the community are ignoring the issue of DEI-based Jew-hatred, the root cause of the problem.

Ep. 169: On Israel, Mamdani is no longer a Democratic outlier 19.08.2025

The anti-Zionist mayoral candidate is getting advice from former President Barack Obama, while a growing number of party leaders are echoing the genocide blood libel.

Ep. 168: Why the Dreyfus case matters now more than ever 17.08.2025

Canceled because of its director’s crime, the best film made about the “Affair” belatedly arrives in the United States, posing difficult ethical, artistic and political questions.

Ep. 167: Defending Hamas ‘journalism’ means spreading antisemitic lies, not press freedom 15.08.2025

The death of a terror operative masquerading as a reporter shows how a genocidal movement and its allies camouflage their propaganda machine.

Ep. 166: The futility of compassion for those who want to kill you 14.08.2025

Palestinians cheered the atrocities of Oct. 7, have been complicit in the fate of the hostages and support Israel’s destruction. Do Jews owe them aid?

Ep. 165: The generational price of the false Gaza ‘genocide’ narrative 12.08.2025

Those who validate blood libels about Israel’s deliberately starving Palestinians are complicit in the antisemitic attacks on Jews that will happen long after the war ends.

Ep. 164: As Jew-hatred surges, the Islamist threat must be taken seriously 10.08.2025

It’s time to pull CAIR’s tax exemption and designate the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist organization.

Ep. 163: Bibi-bashing and the quest for a mythical middle way in Gaza 08.08.2025

Israel lacks good options in the war against Hamas, but the condemnations of Netanyahu’s choice says more about his critics than about him.

Ep. 162: Republican schism on Israel is a mainstream media myth 07.08.2025

Extremists and antisemites on the far right have united with the left to spread blood libels about the Jewish state. But Trump and most of the GOP are sticking with Jerusalem.

Ep. 161: Is combating media bias Netanyahu’s mission impossible? 05.08.2025

Frustration is mounting over a lost information war. Still, Israelis are right to think that persuading the world to stop believing blood libels circulated by Hamas cannot be their top priority.

Ep. 160: The lamentations of Tisha B’Av are not a pro-Hamas script 03.08.2025

Invoking past disasters to promote Jewish guilt about Gaza disgracefully manipulates history and the truth about the war, as well as bolsters those who wish to destroy Israel.

Ep. 159: Anti-Israel virtue-signaling on Gaza is immoral 31.07.2025

Hamas terrorists are counting on Jewish empathy to let them survive to continue pursuing the genocidal war they began on Oct. 7. Anyone who does their bidding is despicable and dangerous.

Ep. 158: As antisemitism surges in Europe, Trump’s pushback proves American exceptionalism 29.07.2025

As outrages against Jews multiply, the administration’s settlement with Columbia, though far from perfect, demonstrates that Jews are not alone in the United States.
