J-TV Podcasts by Ollie Anisfeld

Ollie speaks to Rabbi YY Jacobson about the big questions surrounding the Jewish people in the aftermath of the October 7 massacre - most crucially how we must respond collectively as a nation.

A Must-Listen: Sohail Ahmed is a former Muslim extremist who from a young age supported Hamas, hated the West and even dreamed up a terror attack in London. Ollie speaks to Sohail about his journey from extremism to deradicalisation, as well as Sohail's insights on the current Israel-Hamas war.

Radio host, writer and Biblical morality lecturer Dennis Prager joins Ollie on J-TV to talk about the Israel vs Hamas war and the failure of global institutions to approach the issue fairly. The pair discuss how the ultimate solution to these problems is not simply the defeat of Hamas but of creating a world that follows the Ten Commandments.

Ultimately the Israel-Palestine question comes down to who has the right to the land. The Jewish people have given many compelling answers, but it seems that many in the world aren't interested.
