Ep. 190: Those calling for ‘globalizing the intifada’ have more blood on their hands

Media outlets that mainstream blood libels about Israel committing “genocide” and demonize Jews can’t evade their role in fomenting antisemitic violence like the Manchester attack.

Ep. 189: Megyn Kelly is wrong: Neutrality on right-wing antisemitism is immoral

The podcaster and the late Charlie Kirk were wrong to refuse to cut ties with Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens. This failure is poisoning American conservatism.

Ep. 188: Trump gives the Palestinians another opportunity to choose peace

The president’s plan could end the fighting in Gaza and free the remaining hostages. But it depends on a belief that Israel’s foes are willing to give up their genocidal fantasies.

Ep. 187: Jews don’t owe a hostile world any apologies

By defying an antisemitic United Nations, Netanyahu wasn’t harming Israel or endangering Jews. No matter what you think about him, in that moment, he stood up for the truth.

Ep. 186: Trump needs to stop trying to win a Nobel Peace Prize

The president’s instincts on the United Nations and “Palestine” are correct. But his Gaza plan, cooked up by Jared Kushner and Tony Blair, is as misguided as other schemes.

Ep. 184: The Democrats’ Mamdani dilemma: Is Jew-hatred good politics?

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul thinks backing an antisemitic mayoral candidate will help get her re-elected. Others in the party are wondering and wavering.

09-25
11:52

Ep. 185: Antisemites are trying to hijack Charlie Kirk’s legacy

Claims that the activist was turning on Israel and conspiracy theories about his death are part of a battle to legitimize Jew-hatred, not defend free speech.

15:21

Ep. 183: The problem is the normalization of hate, not cancel culture

Firing those who dissent is troubling. But progressive hate cheering for Hamas and the murder of Charlie Kirk, along with right-wing conspiracy theories, shouldn’t be platformed.

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

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

15:30

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

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

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.

09-11
12:34

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

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.

09-09
14:54

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

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

09-07
11:25

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

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

09-04
13:08

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

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.

09-03
13:59

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

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.

08-31
13:46

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

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

08-31
04:21

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

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.

08-28
14:28

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

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.

08-27
12:16

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

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?
