The Unfiltered View with Israel Ellis

As bombs fall on IRGC bases, Iranians aren't running — they're cheering. Goldie Ghamari reveals what the Iranian people really want from this war.  Iranian-Canadian commentator and former Ontario MPP Goldie Ghamari joins guest host Dave Gordon on The Unfiltered View with Israel Ellis for an urgent, unfiltered conversation about what's happening on the ground in Iran right now. With direct contacts inside occupied Iran, Ghamari shares what Western media won't tell you: that ordinary Iranians see the US-Israel strikes not as a war, but as liberation. That their greatest fear isn't the bombing — it's that America and Israel will stop before the regime is destroyed. That 90,000 Iranians have been slaughtered by the Islamic Republic in recent months — and still, the people are rising. Ghamari makes the case for exiled Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi as Iran's transitional leader, dismantles claims that Iranians are divided on who should lead a free Iran, and confronts Mark Carney's call to return to the negotiating table with the regime. She also opens up about her own heritage as a descendant of the ancient Elamites — and what she'll do on the day she finally sets foot in a free Iran. This is a conversation the mainstream media doesn't want you to hear. 📖 Get Israel Ellis's book "The Wake Up Call": https://a.co/d/05wm0VZ7 📰 Israel Ellis on Substack: https://substack.com/@israelellis Don't forget to like, comment, and subscribe.

Decency VS Indecency; an explosive interview:  Alan Dershowitz, Jonathan Tobin, and Thane Rosenbaum join Israel Ellis in debunking Norman Finkelstein, who called Israel a genocidal regime. He denied the rapes of October 7th. He said he was "euphoric" when Hamas breached the border. And his parting words? "My constructive advice is Israeli society needs to be de-Nazified." Israel Ellis sat across from him for two hours — and then brought in the experts to respond. Many warned against giving Finkelstein a platform. But silence is no longer an option. In this episode, Israel Ellis goes head-to-head with one of the most polarizing Jewish critics of Israel — a man Alan Dershowitz calls "a fraud" and "a phony" who was "fired from every institution he ever worked in." Finkelstein's claims are challenged in real time by Israel Ellis and then dismantled by a panel of leading voices: Thane Rosenbaum — Distinguished University Professor at Touro University, legal analyst for CBS News Radio, child of Holocaust survivors, and author of Beyond Proportionality: Israel's Just War in Gaza — takes apart Finkelstein's legal misrepresentations, his fabricated NYT citations, his rape denial, and his concentration camp rhetoric. Eugene Kontorovich — Professor of Law at George Mason University and scholar at the Kohelet Policy Forum — delivers the definitive legal rebuttal to the genocide charge, comparing Netanyahu's post-October 7th rhetoric to FDR after Pearl Harbor, Obama on ISIS, and Biden on Serbia. Jonathan Tobin — Editor-in-Chief of Jewish News Syndicate (JNS) — provides broader context on the delegitimization campaign against Israel and the red-green alliance of progressive and Islamist movements driving it. Alan Dershowitz — Harvard Law Professor Emeritus and author of The Case for Israel — sets the stage with his assessment of Finkelstein and the phenomenon of Jewish anti-Israel propagandists. 🔔 Subscribe for unfiltered conversations 💬 Comment below with your thoughts 📖 Get Israel Ellis's book The Wake Up Call: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DQQRZ4GD 🌐 Website: https://www.israelellis.com 📰 Substack: https://israelellis.substack.com

Melanie Bennet is a Canadian investigative journalist who covers the radicalization of education for True North Wire and Juno News. She joins Israel Ellis just days after the Bondi Beach terrorist attack and weeks after returning from her first trip to Israel. Bennett, who is not Jewish, went with no expectations and came back alarmed. She describes Israelis as "remarkably normal" while warning "nothing is normal here anymore" in Canada. She breaks down the "Red-Green Alliance" between social justice ideology and Islamism infiltrating Canadian schools, explains why DEI policies enable double standards in policing, and asks the question no one wants to answer: "When is that going to happen in Canada?" Bennett's message: stop playing defense. "We need to address the radicalization problem within the Muslim community because it is ignored and people keep not talking about it."

This is a fascinating discussion with Dr. Mordechai Kedar, retired IDF intelligence officer and scholar of Islam, speaks fluent Arabic and is a professor at Bar-Ilan University. He joins Israel Ellis for a deep dive into the Middle East's tribal foundations and why Western solutions keep failing. Kedar explains why a two-state solution will never work. He breaks down why Hamas will never voluntarily give up power, why "life is almost the lowest thing on the ladder of priorities" for Israel’s enemies, and delivers a stark warning: "If Israel falls, the wave of Jihadism will go over Europe in no time and no ocean is big enough for it not to envelope the Americas." As Kedar says: "They mean what they say and they say what they mean." Global Islamisation is real and is happening. The world must heed the wake up call.

Anti-Israel propagandist Aaron Maté and host Israel Ellis go head-to-head. Maté, son of Holocaust survivor Gabor Maté, calls Israel a "Jewish supremacist state" and a "death cult," compares it to Nazi Germany, and declares he will "never condemn people who resist." He seems to be a true believer who means every word he says, but he's intellectually dishonest: He cherry-picks Israeli historians, sanitizes Palestinian violence, refuses to apply the "death cult" label to Hamas, and when asked about Queers for Palestine, suddenly isn't "up on gay laws in Ramallah." Ellis pushes back on Holocaust comparisons, challenges Maté's refusal to condemn October 7th. They clash over the Oslo Accords, ethnic cleansing, "From the River to the Sea," and whether Zionism fuels antisemitism. This is the conversation everyone's afraid to have.

Israel Ellis interviews Richard Falk on The Unfiltered View, exposing Falk’s double standards on Israel and his claim that the October 7th attacks were "exaggerated" by media. Shockingly, he describes Hamas leaders as "persuasive" and committed to reconciliation, and he refuses to call Hamas a terrorist organization while accusing Israel of genocide. Israel Ellis challenges Falk on documented evidence, the Palestinian pay-for-slay policy, the funding of Hamas, and the use of hospitals and schools as military infrastructure. This unfiltered dialogue serves to expose the false narratives that undermine Israel’s right to exist and defend itself.

Has the truth itself become contraband? Mark Milke, President and Founder of the Aristotle Foundation, joins Israel Ellis to confront the deep, chilling malaise infecting Canada. Milke contends we are ensnared by an unholy trinity: anti-reality, anti-reason, and anti-responsibility. This conversation pulls back the curtain on how the nation's welcome of both dangerous progressive ideology and subversive antisemitism is driving capital flight and systematically dismantling the moral foundations of Canada and the West. This isn't just a lament; it's a critical map, detailing the three essential pivots the country must execute to reclaim its future.

This is an explosive and highly emotional confrontation between former Israeli Knesset Speaker Avrum Burg and host Israel Ellis, challenging the foundations of Israeli identity. Burg labels Zionism as "scaffolding" and obsolete, advocating for a post-Zionist "shared space" or one-state solution built on equality, not states. The debate escalates into personal attacks, with Burg calling the host a "warmonger" for prioritizing self-defense, and Ellis challenging Burg's realism. They grapple with the existential crisis of October 7th, leading to Burg's controversial assertion that God is "out of the equation"—leaving all moral responsibility to humanity.0:00 - Introduction to Avrum Burg and Podcast Setup1:25 - Rejecting Traditional Zionism: Defining the Term2:15 - Zionism as Scaffolding for Jewish Sovereignty4:45 - Personal Identity: Human, Israeli, Jew5:45 - Origins of Zionism and Post-Holocaust Context7:30 - Security Failures in Israel: The Most Dangerous Place for Jews?8:50 - Secular Foundations of Israel and Biblical Paradoxes9:45 - Sovereignty, Power, and Denial of Palestinian Rights10:15 - Debate on Palestinian Identity and Indigenous Rights11:30 - Historical Exile of Jews: Voluntary or Forced?13:00 - Continuous Non-Jewish Presence in the Land14:00 - Respecting Palestinian Self-Determination15:30 - Indigenous Claims and Historical Facts17:15 - Jewish History Without a Modern State of Israel18:30 - Israel Belongs to Israelis, Not World Jewry19:40 - Promoting a One-State Solution: Freedoms Over Borders20:25 - Two-State vs. One-State: Shared Space and Equality21:30 - Demographic Concerns and Ethnocracy1:03:40 - Moral Indifference, Antisemitism, and Leftist Ideologies1:04:45 - Generalizations and Coalitions with Extremists1:07:50 - Human Failures Leading to October 7th1:08:45 - Where Was God on October 7th?

Former Knesset Member Mossi Raz joins The Unfiltered View with Israel Ellis for a raw and revealing conversation about Israel’s democracy, Netanyahu’s leadership, and the moral cost of war.

Warning: This episode contains disturbing information about the funding of terror in Canada. What do Mexican drug lords, the Chinese mafia, and Iranian foreign agents have to do with Canada and the global jihad? How did Canadian taxpayers support terrorist organizations to the tune of 50 million dollars in 2024? Is Canada past the tipping point? In this episode of The Unfiltered View with Israel Ellis, national security analyst Joe Adam George warns about the growing jihadist threat within Canada. "I am not particularly optimistic about Canada's future... I would suggest you stay and fight as long as you can, but I would also recommend that you also have a backup (exit) plan." ... "I didn’t need an October 7th to tell me that we have this problem with Islamist extremism in Canada…The Muslim Brotherhood is the mothership of modern-day jihad. Any terrorist group that you see today, specifically Sunni Islamist terror groups, all find their inspiration in some way, shape or form in the Muslim Brotherhood." – Joe Adam George

Tech evangelist Hillel Fuld continues the discussion about moving to Israel. He challenges host Israel Ellis with a haunting question: "Would you tell your grandmother to stay and fight in 1930 Germany, or get out before it's too late?" Fuld argues that diaspora Jews should "make an exit plan" and move to Israel, citing Talmudic sources that "a Jew is not a complete Jew unless he lives in Israel." The conversation concludes with Fuld's powerful message: "We will dance again."

In Part 3 of this unfiltered conversation, Thane Rosenbaum tackles America’s new white self-hatred, “One of the things that the Islamists and the Marxists have achieved with extraordinary success is they've taught a large segment of America to hate themselves.” Thane warns of America’s growing self-destruction under the silence of the majority, and the threat of civil fragmentation. “Our capacity for hate has completely outstripped our ability and willingness to love.” A stark discussion on moral clarity, patriotism, and survival in a world gone mad between host Israel Ellis and Thane Rosenbaum—a law professor, legal and Middle East analyst, novelist, essayist, talk show host, and Distinguished University Professor at Touro University.

Tech influencer Hillel Fuld tells Israel Ellis: "It's a done deal in Canada, [and] not only do I believe it is, but I believe you believe it as well." Comparing today's situation to "the German Jews, the Spanish Jews, the Iraqi Jews," Fuld argues that "Canada's been good to you until it's not good to you, and we've reached that point." Ellis fires back: "I love this country. I love Canada and I love being Canadian... I don't believe the answer is just to give up and go." The discussion captures the dilemma facing Jewish families everywhere: Stay and fight, or get out while you still can?
