Amid ongoing discussions about the U.S.-Israel alliance, including recent commentary referencing questions raised by media personality Tucker Carlson about the benefits the United States derives from its relationship with Israel, a new interview highlights the extensive technological and humanitarian contributions Israel provides. Gedaliah Blum, Director of The Heartland Initiative in Israel, sat down for an interview with Alan Skorski. In a social media post on December 22, 2025, Blum addressed Carlson’s recurring question — “What exactly does the United States get from Israel?” — by quickly listing more than 25 Israeli innovations that directly benefit the U.S. and its allies. These include advancements in aviation safety, missile defense systems protecting American bases, IED detection technology safeguarding U.S. soldiers in combat zones, battlefield medicine now standard in American emergency rooms, and enhanced airport security protocols used worldwide. During the conversation, Skorski expanded on this list, emphasizing Israel’s role as a hub of innovation despite its small size and challenging security environment. Israel has pioneered several key technologies widely adopted in the U.S. and globally: The USB flash drive (originally known as Disk-on-Key), revolutionizing portable data storage. Waze, the real-time GPS navigation app acquired by Google and used by millions for traffic updates and efficient routing. Mobileye, providing advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) that enhance vehicle safety and serve as a foundation for autonomous driving technologies. ICQ, one of the earliest popular instant messaging platforms. Significant contributions to Intel processors through R&D by Israeli teams. Medical & Health Innovations Israeli developments have transformed diagnostics and treatment: PillCam (from Given Imaging), a swallowable camera capsule enabling non-invasive internal imaging for gastrointestinal diagnostics. Babysense infant breathing monitors for enhanced child safety. ReWalk bionic exoskeletons assisting individuals with lower-limb paralysis to regain mobility. Agriculture, Water & Other Fields In agriculture and resource management, Israel leads with drip irrigation systems from Netafim, which optimize water use in arid regions; the development of longer-lasting, sweeter cherry tomatoes; and advanced water desalination and purification technologies. Defense & Security Contributions Defense innovations include the Iron Dome missile defense system, advanced UAVs (drones), and cutting-edge cybersecurity solutions that bolster U.S. national security interests. These advancements “barely scratch the surface” of the mutual benefits in the U.S.-Israel partnership, Skorski noted, with many technologies co-developed or shared through joint efforts. Humanitarian Leadership Exemplified in Haiti Beyond technology, Israel’s contributions extend to global humanitarian aid. A prominent example is the rapid response to the devastating January 2010 earthquake in Haiti. As detailed in a 2010 report in the New England Journal of Medicine, within 48 hours of the quake striking Port-au-Prince, Israel deployed a 230-person military task force — including 109 support and rescue personnel from the IDF Home Front Command and 121 medical staff from the IDF Medical Corps Field Hospital. The team arrived 15 hours after departing Tel Aviv and immediately began operations. In just 10 days, the field hospital treated over 1,100 patients. 16 babies were delivered in the hospital. IDF search and rescue forces assisted in rescuing or aiding 4 individuals. The swift deployment and high-impact care underscored Israel’s commitment to international disaster relief, often arriving among the first responders in crises worldwide. -VIN News Alan Skorski Reports 21JAN2026 - PODCAST

Why Tucker Carlson And Candace Owens Adopted the Most Virulently Antisemitic Denominations of Christianity: Interview With Rabbi Tovia Singer Rabbi Tovia Singer, a leading expert on Christian theology and counter-missionary work, is warning of what he describes as a troubling rise in antisemitic rhetoric among some high-profile conservative commentators, naming Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens as examples. In a recent interview with podcaster Alan Skorski, Singer said he is increasingly concerned that voices once seen as part of a pro-Israel conservative coalition are now echoing themes long associated with antisemitic conspiracy theories. Singer, whose work has focused for decades on countering Christian proselytizing aimed at Jews, discussed the evolution of Christian Zionism, calling it a relatively modern movement that has become a powerful force in American politics. He estimated that about one in five Americans now identifies as a Christian Zionist, making it one of the country’s largest political blocs. The rabbi traced the roots of Christian antisemitism back to early church history, citing anti-Jewish writings by figures such as St. John Chrysostom and the role of Pope Pius XII during the Holocaust — often criticized by historians for his silence in the face of Nazi atrocities. Singer said antisemitic teachings were embedded for centuries across Catholic, Orthodox and Protestant traditions. He linked those historical patterns to modern conspiracy thinking, referencing the Protocols of the Elders of Zion, a forged document from the early 1900s that falsely claimed Jews were plotting world domination. Singer said echoes of those ideas can now be heard in some contemporary political commentary that portrays Jews as wielding outsized control over media, finance and government. Singer was particularly critical of Candace Owens, describing her embrace of a traditionalist strain of Catholicism that rejects the reforms of the Second Vatican Council as deeply alarming. He said that version of the faith revives doctrines portraying Jews as rejected by God and permanently stripped of their covenant — ideas he called both theologically dangerous and politically combustible. Owens converted after her marriage to political activist George Farmer and amid public splits with prominent Jewish conservatives such as Ben Shapiro and Dennis Prager, Singer noted. By contrast, Singer praised the late Charlie Kirk, founder of Turning Point USA, whom he described as exceptional among evangelical leaders for defending not only Israel but the Jewish people themselves. Singer said Kirk’s influence reshaped the conservative movement and predicted that, had he lived, he could have become a presidential contender within a decade. Kirk was assassinated in September 2025, and Singer said there is now an internal struggle over his political legacy. He added that President Donald Trump remains firmly pro-Jewish and pro-Israel, describing that stance as consistent with the values of the Trump family. Singer reserved some of his sharpest criticism for Tucker Carlson, accusing the former Fox News host of hostility toward Israel and contempt for Christian Zionists. He pointed to Carlson’s interview with Palestinian pastor Munther Isaac, who accused Israel of persecuting Christians in Bethlehem. Singer disputed that claim, noting that Bethlehem is under Palestinian Authority control and that its Christian population has fallen dramatically over the past half-century — from about 80% to roughly 5% — largely because of emigration driven by political and economic conditions, not Israeli policy. Carlson, who now hosts a widely followed podcast after leaving Fox News, has said he identifies as an Episcopalian but rarely attends church. Singer ended the interview with pointed irony. -VIN News Alan Skorski Reports 15JAN2025 - PODCAST

Denial: "How bad can it be and and do any of the unfolding events pertain to me? Everything will work out in the end"; Truth: The world is imploding because evil has remained unchallenged and evil-doers coddled; Choice: Teaching, living, giving goodness, speaking up against the miscreants who spit in the face of God and God's Torah.

Have you ever noticed that it sometimes seems as though you have two different internal voices that are at odds with each other. One voice tends to encourage you to be the better version of yourself ("don't make that comment, it's hurtful") and the other voice is often pushing for the baser version of self to be revealed ("she should know how you feel, it doesn't matter if it's mean spirited.") What is going inside of me when these conflicts arise? Who or what are these inner voices and where are they coming from? Listen to Soul talk with Rabbi David Aaron and Leora Mandel to learn how to turn inner conflict into personal power. Soul Talk 08JAN2026 - PODCAST

Chaim Malespin, a U.S.-born sergeant in the Israel Defense Forces’ elite Yahalom commando unit, shared insights into his extensive combat experience - which included 800+ consecutive days operating in the terror tunnels in Gaza and Lebanon - and humanitarian efforts in a recent interview with commentator Alan Skorski. Malespin, who immigrated to Israel with his family as a teenager in 1999, has served in the IDF’s Combat Engineering Corps, specializing in explosives handling, countering improvised explosive devices and destroying terror tunnels. The Yahalom unit, known as “diamond” in Hebrew, focuses on high-risk engineering operations in combat zones. Malespin has been deployed for hundreds of consecutive days during Israel’s ongoing Swords of Iron war against Hamas, leading missions across Gaza, northern Israel and southern Lebanon. He previously saw action in the 2006 Lebanon War, Operation Cast Lead and Operation Protective Edge. His decorations include the Iron Swords War Service Ribbon, Operation Protective Edge Ribbon and Operation Cast Lead Ribbon. When not on active duty, Malespin directs operations at the Aliyah Return Center (ARC), a humanitarian organization he co-founded in 2013 in Israel’s Galilee region along the Jordan River. The ARC assists Jewish immigrants, or olim, with integration into Israeli society through temporary housing, Hebrew classes, job training, community activities and basic aid such as food and clothing distribution. Under Malespin’s leadership, the center transformed a former hotel into a campus for new immigrants and international volunteers after a multimillion-dollar renovation project in partnership with the Jewish Agency. The organization also hosts volunteers from abroad who participate in service projects in the Galilee and train as “ambassadors for Israel” upon returning home, fostering ties between Israel and supportive global communities. Malespin hosts “The Real Israel” on YouTube and an “Iron Swords” daily podcast, providing updates and perspectives on Israel. The interview highlighted Malespin’s dual roles as a frontline soldier defending Israel and a humanitarian leader supporting Jewish immigration and absorption. -VIN News Subscribe to Alan Skorski Reports YouTube page: https://www.youtube.com/@AlanSkorskiReports Alan Skorski Reports 07JAN2025 - PODCAST
