A quick note on the attempt to investigate 10/7.
In this episode of the Mael Time Podcast, Rabbi Yaakov Menken joins Daniel Mael for a wide-ranging and unflinching conversation about Jewish values, political power, and the limits of unity in an age of rising anti-Semitism. Menken explains the mission of the Coalition for Jewish Values, critiques the ideological drift of legacy Jewish institutions, and argues that communal solidarity built on distortion or silence is not unity at all. The discussion confronts anti-Semitism on both the right and the left, examines the risks of legitimizing extremist voices, and challenges the Jewish community to choose moral clarity over convenience. At a moment when politics increasingly demands loyalty over truth, this conversation insists that Jewish identity cannot survive without honesty, courage, and principled dissent.
Chesed Shel Emes should be private.
In this episode of the Mael Time Podcast, Noam Buskila reflects on his experience as an Israeli soldier and musician navigating war, loss, and recovery. He speaks candidly about bringing his guitar with him to the front lines, using music as a lifeline amid grief, trauma, and the lasting effects of PTSD. Buskila explores how community support, diaspora donations, and a shared Jewish identity help sustain soldiers long after the fighting pauses. More than a personal story, the conversation is a meditation on resilience, mental health, and Jewish pride, capturing how music can bind a wounded people together as one body, one soul.
Naomi Kahn and Meir Deutsch of Regavim join the Mael Time Podcast for a clear-eyed conversation about one of Israel’s most urgent and least discussed crises: the state’s refusal to enforce its own laws. Drawing on Regavim’s on-the-ground work, they explain how selective enforcement has eroded sovereignty, undermined the rule of law, and created facts on the ground that no government statement can undo. This is not an ideological debate but a warning about governance itself. A country that writes laws but declines to enforce them invites chaos, and Kahn and Deutsch lay out why restoring enforcement is not optional but foundational to Israel’s future.

Herbst underscores the central role of community engagement, noting that drills, training, and empowering civilians are essential components of national readiness. He emphasizes that Israel’s ability to meet overwhelming medical demand depended not just on operational excellence, but also on widespread cooperation and continued support from Jewish communities worldwide.
There's a case to be made that Nick Fuentes is a gifted troll but not anti-Semitic. What do you think?
The killing of Yasser Abu Shabab exposes a truth about Gaza that the world refuses to confront. Behind the slogans of “resistance” and “liberation” is a society ruled by fear, intimidation and violent enforcement of loyalty to Hamas. Anyone suspected of speaking to Israelis, even for survival, is branded a collaborator and marked for death. Martyrdom is celebrated, dissent is crushed and ordinary people are trapped between an extremist ideology and the daily misery it produces. This conversation pulls back the curtain on Gaza’s real internal war and reveals a political culture built on repression, terror and the destruction of its own people long before it ever fights Israel.

The Jewish community is facing a defining test of integrity in the aftermath of October 7th. As misinformation, fabricated stories, and unethical fundraising continue to surface, the real danger isn’t only the fraud itself—but the silence that enables it. If we want credibility on the world stage and trust within our own ranks, we must demand transparency, correct false narratives, and insist on basic decency from individuals and organizations alike. Unity means nothing if it’s built on lies. This is the moment for the Jewish community to police its own, uphold ethical standards, and restore honesty to our collective story.
Speaking the truth about Rami Davidian and his fraudulent tales from October 7th in Israel.
On this episode of The Mael Time Podcast, Elkana Federman—the head of security at the Nova Music Festival—recounts his harrowing experience on October 7. Federman walks through the security preparations before the event, the moment he realized the attack unfolding was far beyond anything anticipated, and the life-or-death decisions he made to evacuate unarmed staff and festival-goers under fire. He reflects on the chaos, the losses, and the trauma he carries, while also speaking with raw honesty about accountability, leadership failures, and the political reckoning he believes Israel desperately needs. His story is both a personal testimony of survival and a call for a stronger, clearer Jewish voice in the country’s future.
This conversation offers a rare, unfiltered look at how Hamas supporters inside Gaza justify violence, reject peaceful solutions, and deny the basic facts of the conflict. Rather than acknowledge Hamas’ role in triggering wars, using civilians as shields, or holding innocent hostages, Motasem Dalloul doubles down on the same narratives that have kept Gaza trapped for decades. The interview lays bare the central obstacle to peace: a worldview that frames terror as “resistance,” dismisses Israeli attempts at coexistence, and insists that liberation can only come through violence. For anyone trying to understand why the conflict persists, this is a revealing—and deeply troubling—glimpse into the ideological machinery that sustains Hamas’ grip on Gaza.
On this episode of the Mael Time Podcast, Jonathan Pollard breaks down his recent meeting with Ambassador Mike Huckabee, reflecting on Huckabee’s support during his imprisonment and the political meaning people are now reading into their conversation. Pollard addresses long-standing myths about his case — including the false accusation of treason — and calls out Tucker Carlson and others for spreading misinformation. He offers a stark assessment of the CIA’s role in shaping U.S.–Israel relations, criticizes American pressure on Israeli decision-making, and argues that Israeli leaders have become too willing to defer to Washington. From Trump’s peace plan to the push for judicial reform to the need for Israel to become militarily self-sufficient, Pollard delivers a wide-ranging and provocative look at the crossroads of American and Israeli politics.
Part 1 of an analysis on what Nick Fuentes and Dave Smith misunderstand about America.
Megyn Kelly’s shift from fearless journalist to Tucker Carlson’s unofficial damage-control operation has become impossible to ignore. In this episode, Daniel Mael breaks down how her evasions around the Carlson controversy—especially on questions of anti-Semitism and political accountability—signal a deeper collapse of integrity inside parts of conservative media. The conversation explores Tucker’s radicalization, JD Vance’s silence, and the broader danger when prominent figures use their platforms to escalate rhetoric instead of elevating discourse. It’s a sharp look at how guilt-by-association gets selectively applied, how media voices have traded curiosity for tribal loyalty, and why Megyn Kelly’s transformation marks a troubling moment for anyone who still believes journalism should tell the truth even when it’s inconvenient.
On today’s Mael Time Podcast, we go inside Magen David Adom, Israel’s national emergency medical service and the backbone of the country’s blood supply.

He tackles public misconceptions, explains the organization’s legal obligations and commitment to transparency, and highlights how community support keeps Israel’s medical response system functioning under immense pressure. This episode is a gripping look at the people and systems that keep Israel alive when every second counts.
