In a compelling new interview, Alan Skorski sat down with Dr. Dan Diker, President of the Jerusalem Center for Security and Foreign Affairs, to unpack two major developments: the recent ceasefire between Israel and Iran, and the troubling victory of Zohran Mamdani in the Democratic primary for NYC Mayor. Dr. Diker expressed deep skepticism over Iran's intentions regarding the ceasefire, describing it as a classic case of Hudna or Taadiya — temporary Islamic ceasefires aimed at rearming and regrouping. “Iran's top priority is survival,” Diker explained. “If that means pretending to capitulate to President Trump, they will do it. But make no mistake — they will recalibrate, resupply, and reenergize for the next round.” Diker also commented on President Trump's recent remark, where he suggested that neither Iran nor Israel “knew what the F*** they were doing.” While acknowledging the strong support this administration has shown for Israel, Diker warned that such moral equivalency sends a dangerous message to Iran's ruling Mullahs. Turning to the rise of Zohran Mamdani, Diker issued a stark warning about the “decades-long Islamist penetration into America.” He views Mamdani's primary victory as the fruit of years of strategic planning by pro-Hamas and Palestinianist-aligned groups operating in the United States. Referencing a January 2025 report, Dr. Diker emphasized that while Israel has become a formidable regional force, it is now facing what he calls an “eighth front” — legal, political, media, and social warfare launched from Western democracies, especially within the U.S. and Europe. Diker also addressed concerns about President Trump's recent Middle East tour, which notably excluded Israel. He dismissed the criticism, explaining that Trump is pursuing a “dual-track” policy that strengthens ties across the region without compromising the U.S.–Israel relationship. Trump's diplomatic efforts have already borne fruit, with historic financial investment pledges: $600 billion from Saudi Arabia $1.2 trillion from the United Arab Emirates And a custom aircraft gifted by Qatar to serve as the next Air Force One. Dr. Diker's warnings are clear: The threats facing Israel and the U.S. are increasingly interconnected — and the battlefront now extends beyond missiles and borders to include ballots, media, and the courtroom.

Israel had spectacular success in hitting strategic targets in Iran, but it didn't give the Islamic Regime that 'Knock-out' blow - which would prevent Iran with the means to retaliate and hit back at Israel's civilian population. -This lack of making it impossible for the regime to hit back, is something that invites a tit-for-tat warfare that keeps on going.

In a recent interview with podcast host Alan Skorski, investigative researcher Ryan Mauro of the Capital Research Center sounded the alarm on what he described as an increasingly dangerous coalition of extremist groups operating in the United States under the banner of pro-Palestinian activism. Mauro, who has spent years researching radical networks including Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP), Columbia University Apartheid Divest (CUAD), and the Marxist-linked Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), claims that nearly 500 groups across the country are united not only by hostility toward Israel, but by a broader agenda to undermine the United States. “Many of these extremist groups hate Israel because of America—not the other way around,” Mauro told Skorski, challenging what he says is a commonly held assumption about the motivations behind anti-Israel activism. Among the most concerning groups identified in his research is Unity of Fields (UoF), a Palestinian group that explicitly promotes militant protest tactics and has engaged in direct confrontations with U.S. police. Mauro said the group's stated mission is to “disrupt and dismantle Zionism and U.S. imperialism through direct militant actions.” The group frequently deploys slogans such as “No cops, no KKK, no Fascist USA!” and refers to the NYPD as “IOF-trained pigs,” a reference to the Israel Defense Forces. In a recent paper titled Marching Towards Violence, Mauro reports that anarchist groups are increasingly aiming to operate as an “anti-police wannabe insurgency.” He said that his research tracked 150 of the most active “pro-Palestinian” groups on social media in the 15 months before and after the October 7 Hamas-led terror attack in Israel. The findings showed a 186% increase in anti-American rhetoric and a more than 3,000% rise in posts calling for violence on U.S. soil. Mauro also warned of an unlikely alliance between far-left and far-right elements seeking to exploit civil unrest in the U.S. “They believe that once the system collapses, their ideology will rise to the top,” he said. “It's an accelerationist strategy.” Despite what he describes as a current moment of unity among radical groups, Mauro predicts internal fractures ahead. He believes Indian Hindus may become the next target of the radical coalition due to tensions between India and Pakistan. “Once these groups pivot to attacking Hindus, it will become clear they were never about Palestine,” Mauro said. “They jump from cause to cause to create chaos and insurgency in America.” Mauro also emphasized the threat posed by far-right antisemitism, pointing to conspiracy theories spread by figures such as Tucker Carlson and controversial statements from conservative commentator Candace Owens. “The far-left's antisemitism is dangerous, but the far-right can't be ignored,” Mauro said. “We're seeing toxic ideologies from both ends feeding into the same destructive current.” Mauro's research, including publications such as When Charities Betray America: How “Pro-Palestinian” Protest Groups Promote Anti-Americanism and Pro-Hamas Extremism Taking Root in America, forms part of an expanding body of work examining domestic extremism and its links to global terror movements.

Rabbi Kravitz is the founder of Jews for Judaism, which aims to teach Jews how to think critically and embrace their Jewish heritage, so that they can repel the advances of Christian missionaries. There are many missionary groups right here in Israel, looking to confuse and entice Jews who are removed from Judaism. According to R'Kravitz, 20,000 Israelis have become Messianic Jews, aka Jews who follow Jesus. To learn how to combat this, visit jewsforjudaism.org and contact me with questions.

https://youtu.be/XwRugE-3uK4?si=oabSMi5lWDPVhIzG Alan Skorski recently interviewed Itamar Marcus, director of Palestinian Media Watch (PMW), who issued stark warnings about Western perceptions of the Palestinian Authority (PA) and its potential role in governing Gaza. Palestinian Media Watch, an Israeli watchdog organization, monitors media and official communications coming from Palestinian territories, including both the Judea-Samaria region and Gaza. Marcus has long contended that both the PA and Hamas share similar rhetoric and incitement against Israel. Speaking during the interview, Marcus cautioned that “the biggest mistake the international community is making is thinking the Palestinian Authority is a good alternative to Hamas.” He argued that if the PA were to take control of Gaza, it would result in “another Hamas in Gaza,” operating under a different name but maintaining the same ideological foundation. When asked why many European officials and some Democrats in the United States continue to support the creation of a Palestinian state, despite Hamas-led violence across Western cities, Marcus said decades of exposure to slogans like “from the river to the sea” have normalized such views. “It became so normalized,” Marcus said, “that creating a new PA state seemed the logical position to take for many of these reckless leaders.” During the interview, Marcus shared video clips PMW produced that draw comparisons between Palestinian Authority rhetoric and Adolf Hitler's speeches. In one clip, PA President Mahmoud Abbas is heard claiming Hitler did not kill Jews out of hatred, but because Jews “brought ruin to Germany and Europe.” Marcus said this narrative mirrors the PA's current justification for terror attacks against Israel — not as acts of antisemitism, but as responses to alleged Jewish transgressions in the region. Marcus also expressed concern about a possible conflict of interest in the Trump administration's dealings with Qatar. He noted that while the administration has criticized U.S. universities for antisemitic incidents and cut federal funding in some cases, it has simultaneously engaged in business dealings with Qatar — a nation he said donates heavily to those same universities.

Antisemitism on US campuses continues to grow The Jay Shapiro Show 15MAY2025 - PODCAST
Alan Skorski recently interviewed the National Ambassador of Jexit - Jews who left the Democratic Party - and best-selling author, Daniella Bloom, who herself, was a VIP guest at Turning Point USA, and was able to meet one on one with it's founder, Charlie Kirk, one of the leading Evangelical pro-Israel voices in America today, to talk about Israel's weak PR, and the onslaught of lies being perpetrated against Israel with no visible and forceful pushback. His campus tours around America promoting and advocating for conservative and Judeo/Christian values have made him one of the largest YouTube sensations today. His open debates have been well-documented, where college students can ask him questions on any topic, the most frequent are about his support for Israel. On his podcast, Alan Skorski and Daniella Bloom discussed a number of statements made by Kirk on his radio show, including his calling Israel's PR very “cringe” as they have allowed the Hamas narrative to be adopted with little to no affective responses. He expressed his deep frustration as he finds himself, a Christian who deeply loves Israel, being told by campus Jewish leftists that he should stop supporting Israel. Kirk also warned of the dangers that lie ahead for Israel if there is not an effective Jewish student body to properly support Israel and the truth. During the interview, Bloom recalled her private conversation with Mr. Kirk, who told her that if Jewish advocacy doesn't become more effective, there is a strong chance that conservative support. that Jews have relied on so heavily until now, may not be there in the future with the new generation of conservatives who are less informed about Israel than our current leaders, and whose focus is more on domestic issues.
