The Common Denominator

After a brief hiatus we are back for Season #2 of The Common Denominator. Professor Richard Landes returns to expand on the parallels between Nazi ideology and the new religion of “Palestinianism” as well as the pathologies we witness in the pervasive Jewish tendency to engage in endless self criticism, such as with the so called “self hating” Jew.Find more from Professor Richard Landes: https://theaugeanstables.com/Author of “Can The Whole World Be Wrong?” Get full access to Ilana Rachel Daniel at ilanaracheldaniel120.substack.com/subscribe

Ilana Rachel Daniel gives testimony of living in Israel, the only Democracy in the region, under the constant - and now immediate - threat of attack by the Islamic Regime of Iran and its multiple proxies. “We know, that October 7th was the gunshot start of world war. It was the call for Islamists across the globe, and the Axis that support them, to rise up and wreak havoc in pursuit of terrible rule.” Get full access to Ilana Rachel Daniel at ilanaracheldaniel120.substack.com/subscribe

With the Middle East at this moment teetering on the brink of a regional war, Ilana Rachel Daniel sat down for an in-depth conversation with the brilliant Dalia Ziada to discuss how the Arab world relates to Israel and our prospects for peace. Dalia, currently living in exile after fleeing Egypt, was accused of treason for acknowledging what truly occurred on October 7th. She has a long history of human rights activism and is an award-winning Egyptian writer and Senior Fellow for Research and Diplomacy at the Jerusalem Center for Foreign Affairs (JCFA).

In a rare moment, world events this week have exceeded even Israel in its high intensity and rapid fire pace. Former President Trump survived an assassination attempt. Days later, sitting president Joe Biden withdrew from the presidential race that will take place this November. Kamala Harris is expected to take his place as the Democrat's nominee and Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has flown to DC and will speak there in the Congress today. Kamala Harris has declined to attend Netanyahu's speech but will meet with him privately, before he heads to Florida for a meeting with Trump.Speaking with us today is David Mencer.  David ran the Labour Party Friends of Israel during the Tony Blair premiership and brought groups of government officials to Israel to see and experience up close the realities of our small country. David is a Spokesman for the Office of the Prime Minister of Israel and a communications professional with 30 years experience.

For many Israelis, military service is seen as a national duty and essential for the survival and well-being of our nation. For the Ultra-Orthodox or Haredi community, however, military service is incompatible with their way of life and perceived as a threat to their religious existence. Many within this community believe that their study of the Torah is what truly protects Israel and the IDF from our enemies. The differing opinions have long been a divide in Israeli society, and now, nine months into an existential war with no end in sight, this issue has finally come to a head.How can we hope to reconcile these opposing views and unite the country? We must first gain understanding of the complexities of each position. Join Ilana Rachel Daniel as we review the history of Haredi exemptions and how they came into use and the perspectives of both the religious and secular service to Israel today.‘Without the structure of our Torah we are not Jews, without our land we are not sovereign and subject to every horror that can and can't be named -but without unity we are not a nation.” Get full access to Ilana Rachel Daniel at ilanaracheldaniel120.substack.com/subscribe

The drastic results of the French elections this week resulted in calls from Paris's Chief Rabbi to the Jewish community to leave France and seek it's future in Israel. The Far Left has joined its cause with those of France's Islamists and together they offer a bleak future for the Jews in France and beyond.Ilana Rachel Daniel sat with Rabbi Dr Dov Maimon to learn more about the environment that led to the divides that have pit the population firmly between the far left and the far right and what it means not only for France's future, but for Europe, the US, and the West as a whole.https://jppi.org.il/en/Senior Fellow at JPPI, Rabbi Dr Dov Maimon leads the "Grand Strategy toward Islam" project, the "Israel-Diaspora New Paradigm" project and the Institute's activities in Europe.

The terrorists of the world remain emboldened, undeterred and bang drums of war without respite. These manufacturers of chaos are rooted in the Islamic Republic of Iran with fighters at the ready for combat across the Middle East and well beyond. Hezbollah, the crown jewel in the IRI defense sits at Israel's northern border and does not cease to reign terror on both Israeli and Lebanese civilians, launching missiles deeper into sovereign Israel by the day.We know that at least 80% of 90 million Iranians despise the conquering Islamic Regime that stamps out their own culture, but who are the Lebanese and does Hezbollah hold a parasitic relationship with them that is comparable to Iran?Ilana Rachel Daniel sat with Hussain Abdul Hussain for his expertise on the subject.Ilana Rachel Daniel is a reader-supported publication.

Today we will discuss in brief the only thing on our minds here in Israel and that, regrettably, is Hezbollah and nothing but. The fear of confrontation with Hezbollah is founded. War between us holds the potential to devastate both tiny Israel as well as Lebanon who, not unlike Iran, suffocates under its parasitic, conquering leadership. There is no negotiating peace with an entity that was created with the mission of war. There is only a matter of when the confrontation will take place, on whose terms, and with what strength they have been able to amass.Hezbollah is the most heavily armed non-state actor in the world and the citizens of Israel face a threat unlike any we have before.Join Ilana Rachel Daniel and get to know who is Hezbollah.

This is not an exhaustive report nor could it be. The funneling of cash between terrorist organizations is clandestine by definition and so we can rightfully assume there are more branches of funding than we could name, while donations are made by a bottomless list of organizations worldwide. But, even at a glance one can see incontrovertibly that even the most lackadaisical government might have produced a pronounced quality of life for the people of Gaza - had that ever been their aim. If there are those who truly do care about the people living inside Gaza and Yehuda & Shomron, then demand accountability. It is the only way we might ever find our way out of this mess.Join Ilana Rachel Daniel in exploring the billions poured into Gaza and the Pay to Slay program.

Ilana Rachel Daniel sat with Robert Spencer for a fascinating discussion on Jihad in Islam. Here we covered aspects of Muslim theology well outside the radar of the Western mindset that are rarely, if ever, discussed. You will find this conversation as compelling as did we. We are living in a world where Islamic Terrorism threatens nine million people and the entirety of the state of Israel - but hardly us alone. It threatens the 90 million Iranians who roar out of their chokehold with the death of the Butcher of Iran, former President Ebrahim Raisi this week. And it threatens the free world in its entirety and the civilization on which it was built. That means you and me both. The religious ideology that defines the Islamic Republic of Iran for example, along with their proxies in Hamas, Hezbollah, the Houthis and their many various branches is foreign to us on an elemental level. In increasing frequency, we witness acts of savagery that we do not wish upon our worst enemy - acts that go against not only our myriad of cultures but go against the humanity which we believed to be shared by us all. Robert Spencer is the director of Jihad Watch and a Shillman Fellow at the David Horowitz Freedom Center. He is the author of twenty-eight books, including the New York Times bestsellers "The Politically Incorrect Guide to Islam (and the Crusades)" and "The Truth About Muhammad" and the bestsellers "The History of Jihad From Muhammad to ISIS" and "The Critical Qur'an: Explained from Key Islamic Commentaries and Contemporary Historical Research". His forthcoming book is "Muhammad: A Critical Biography".Spencer has led seminars on Islam and jihad for the FBI, the United States Central Command, United States Army Command and General Staff College, the U.S. Army's Asymmetric Warfare Group, the Joint Terrorism Task Force (JTTF), the Justice Department's Anti-Terrorism Advisory Council and the U.S. intelligence community.

The chaos sweeping across US campuses has captured the attention of Americans and those worldwide no less. We watch as events unfold, we hear what is chanted on repeat, and see the unironic conviction of student protesters assured of their righteousness even as identifiably Jewish kids are physically blocked and bullied as they navigate a campus turned into a threatening neighborhood. In Israel where half of the world's 15 million Jews live, we face daily the potential for life threatening terrorism and war. The vast majority of Diaspora Jews live in the US and have thrived in its bastion of freedom, we gave the best of our brilliance and innovation and together we have grown.“Palestine” as the story goes, is both a place and a genocide unlike any other before or since. Primarily because it consists of each individual's varied and most aspirational fantasies and thus cannot be contradicted enmeshed as is it, in storytelling, ignorance, and an emptiness all in one.We, America and the West, are at a turning point. The pillars of civilization are crumbling from within.

“The Common Denominator”Episode #13 Iranians vs the Islamic Regime with Golsa GolestanehIn this episode Ilana Rachel Daniel welcomes Golsa Golestaneh.Golsa is an Iranian-Canadian passionate about challenging misinformation and propaganda. We dive into what life was like for her family who opposed the Islamic Regime, her own arrest by the morality police at age 14, and while living in Canada today, how she was accused of Islamophobia for calling out Radical Islam. Golsa speaks on why she believes Israel is the only country who recognizes the immediate and existential threat the Islamic Republic of Iran poses to the Iranian people, to the Israeli people, and to all of civilization.“While women are beaten in the streets of Iran and middle and upper class kids who have never met with a moments adversity rage against a machine they cannot point to on a map, never has the noise been more deafening or appalling or absurd.”https://x.com/exhaustedgolsa Get full access to Ilana Rachel Daniel at ilanaracheldaniel120.substack.com/subscribe

On April 14th 2024, Iran did what no one thought they would; launch an unprecedented attack upon sovereign Israel's soil. “As for Israel, it has quite literally no choice but to respond to the Iranian regime's attack. And of the unending “impossible choices'' we, the people of Israel face and have enumerated here week after week - this would be the mother of them all.Their purpose is to terrorize us, to make our lives so terrifying and unlivable that we abandon our ancestral land, the place of our hope and our refuge. But they believe their own lies and misjudge who we are to their own downfall.Israel has no choice - we are a nation of refugees and we have nowhere else to go - we will fight with all we have for we do not defend a philosophical idea in a faraway country - we defend our precious children, homes and land and we have no illusions about for what we fight and why we must.” Get full access to Ilana Rachel Daniel at ilanaracheldaniel120.substack.com/subscribe

The Islamic Republic of Iran has defined itself by waging a relentless and cynical war of terror against the United States, Israel and democracy as a whole for 45 years. In doing so, the IRGC attempts to legitimize its rule over an Iranian population who by far and large do not support the Islamic Theocracy. In this episode Ilana Rachel Daniel and our guest, David May, senior analyst at The Foundation for Defense of Democracies, shine a light one of the most repressive regimes in the world, its failures, and its un-holy quest for regional dominance."We have since passed the 48 hour high alert period issued over the weekend where the CIA warned Israel of Iran's potentially imminent attack. Again what makes these warnings especially newsworthy is that Iran would itself attack from its own soil and not utilize one of its mercenary proxies sitting in at least five countries officially across the Middle East and many other locations in progress which Iran has been sending to terrorize our small country."https://www.fdd.org/https://twitter.com/DavidSamuelMayhttps://twitter.com/FDD Get full access to Ilana Rachel Daniel at ilanaracheldaniel120.substack.com/subscribe

Professor Richard Landes book, “Can the Whole World be Wrong?” documents the inability of Westerners to understand the medieval mentality that drives Global Jihad. That misunderstanding has prompted a series of disastrous misinterpretations and misguided reactions that have contributed fundamentally to the ever-worsening moral and empirical disorientations of the mainstream media. The press reports Palestinian and Jihadi war propaganda as if official news which fuels distrust and deepens splits within their own western countries  - weakening the ability of democracies to defend themselves.The book cites the example of former UN secretary-general Kofi Annan, who rejected Israel's denial that it committed a massacre at Jenin in 2002; “I don't think the whole world, including the friends of the Israeli people and government, can be wrong,” said Annan.Landes answer, however, is a resounding; “Yes.”https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/164469994X/ref=ox_sc_saved_image_4?smid=A2XZ7JICGUQ1CX&psc=1https://theaugeanstables.com/richard-landes-cv/ Get full access to Ilana Rachel Daniel at ilanaracheldaniel120.substack.com/subscribe

The Middle East and North Africa - MENA - is defined as the most autocratic region in the world. Yet Israel, has acted as an oasis of democracy in a desert of repression all while struggling to maintain its security and internal progress.In this program, Ilana Rachel Daniel returns to the pillars of our western democracies, what were the shared values that rooted them and why we see their erosion and rise of authoritarianism today. …“Our throw away culture imagines there is always something better on the pipeline. We buy the next upgrade, we block those with whom we disagree and we toss our single serving receptacle to the bin many times a day. But, if we abandon the constructs of democracy now in this era of micro-managed minds and a device in each of our 8 billion hands, there is no better model in production.” Get full access to Ilana Rachel Daniel at ilanaracheldaniel120.substack.com/subscribe

There is no country nor army more vilified than is Israel's. Our experience has been one of inversion, where that which happens to Israel's people collectively is robbed from them in broad daylight and claimed by her enemies as their own. But there are facts. There is evidence and documentation, policy and witness, and they stand in stark contrast to the propaganda manufactured. Here is one solider's account.“Urban warfare, however, both in general and in the layout of battle inside Gaza specifically, present difficulties and multi-layered dangers that are entirely new, not only to those listening, but for the IDF who meets inside Gaza challenges which no army has faced before, ever.” Get full access to Ilana Rachel Daniel at ilanaracheldaniel120.substack.com/subscribe

In last week's episode we heard the first part of the historical model which brings a balanced - and therefore entirely new - framework to the past one hundred years of Jews in the land of Israel. To recap part one of our discussion - Professor Francisco Gil-White illustrates for us the documented dynamics on the ground in British Mandate Palestine, one where the voluntary and enthusiastic sale of land to the Jews of the early Yishuv resulted in the increased quality of life for the local Arabs and Jews already living there - so much so that Arab immigration into the land of Israel increased dramatically for those throughout the region seeking better quality and conditions of life.We learned that the Arab elite was far from on board with the creation of an Arab middle class and how that elite worked together with the British to aid and abet terror so savage and overwhelming that it would - and did - threaten the existence of the future fledgling state before it was even realized in its modern formation. We met arch villain Hajj Amin al Husseini, the grand Mufti of Jerusalem whose life and legacy is critical to understanding the continuous conflict from which Israel and the Arab world still cannot escape.  Husseini's strategizing of Arab terror was collated into the PLO we know (and imagine as moderate) today and whose mission has not changed since its inception. Husseini meets with Hitler and the heads of the Nazi movement and becomes their official beneficiary.In the second part of today's discussion, we turn to the second half of that century to understand the origins of the much misused title “Palestine”, the telling changes made to the PLO's charter between 1964 & 1968, Husseini's PLO progeny in Yasser Arafat and the story's connection to Eugenics. These are the rotten fruits of a century of terrorism.Here is Dr Francisco Gil-White in part two of The Final Solution - Reframing One Hundred years in the land of Israel.http://www.hirhome.com/israel/talon-de-aquiles_intro_eng.htmhttp://www.hirhome.com/israel/pal_mov.htmhttps://www.hirhome.com/israel/nazis_palestinians.htmFind Professor Francisco Gil-White's current research at:www.managementofreality.comA Night at the Gardenhttps://anightatthegarden.com/https://www.pbs.org/video/night-garden-qh6mme/ Get full access to Ilana Rachel Daniel at ilanaracheldaniel120.substack.com/subscribe

In what is our most important interview in four years; Professor Francisco Gil-White delivers an entire framework with which to view one hundred years in the land of Israel - the one never heard before - the Jewish perspective of events. We have met Jews at their moments of crisis - as victims of abuse and slaughter - but we have never heard the entirety of our position in history. Professor Gil-White offers here a tremendous gift and opportunity, a model where piece by piece the lopsided dialogue is righted. You will recognize it with relief when round peg finally joins with round hole.Please take the time to listen and engage with this material and to share it as widely as you might.In two parts.Description:In part one we will take a closer look at the roots of the Palestinian Authority, the relationship between the Arabs and Jews in British Mandate Palestine, the first massacres of the Jews in Israel and how the grand Mufti, Hajj Amin al Husseini, worked directly with Hitler to expand and export that terrorism - and its inevitable connection to eugenics.

The rancor on display against Israel is not criticism of its response to the atrocities of October 7th. What we are witnessing is a complete delegitimization and dehumanization of Israel's state and people. Accusations that Israel is an imperialist, colonialist, genocidal country did not begin October 8th. These are deliberate and targeted attacks which were developed decades ago to mask antisemitism in the cloak of criticism of Zionism.We sit with scholar of AntiZionism and Contemporary Left AntiSemitism and contributing writer to Tablet Magazine, Izabella Tabarovsky.

In this episode we are discussing the Israeli dilemma of “If?” and “How” to negotiate the release of its citizens who have been kidnapped. We will see that not only is this a current, open and gaping wound, but one with a myriad of historical precedence in Israel.On one hand, negotiating hostages in exchange for murderers does not satiate but wholly encourages this nation's many enemies to continue to terrorize.And on the other; Does it imbue these citizens with a deeply rooted morale to continue under the extraordinary and constant threat to our well being - knowing our country will do everything in its power to bring back our sons and daughters - even if it means placing Israel at a military disadvantage?

The ceasefire has ended.Meanwhile the NYTimes confirms what has been in Israeli news from multiple testimonies of female watch soldiers for months: “Israeli officials had Hamas's battle plan for the Oct. 7 terrorist attack more than a year before it happened, as documents, emails and interviews have shown. “Israeli military and intelligence officials dismissed the plan as “aspirational”, considering it too difficult for Hamas to carry out.“The 40-page document, was code-named “Jericho Wall" by authorities and it outlined in detail - point by point, the manner of invasion carried out that led to the lengthy torture and savage massacre of more than 1200 people.“The translated document did not specify the date for attack, but described a methodical assault designed to overwhelm the fortifications around the Gaza Strip, take over Israeli cities and storm key military bases, including a division headquarters.“Hamas followed the blueprint with shocking precision. The document called for a barrage of rockets at the outset of the attack, drones to knock out the security cameras and automated machine guns along the border, and gunmen to pour into Israel en masse in paragliders, on motorcycles and on foot — all of which happened on Oct. 7.”…May it be exceedingly clear to people across the world that this war is a war for survival. Survival of the state of Israel and survival of the Jewish people worldwide. You can choose sides, but let there be no pretense what you choose when you do.This war is confusing to people because it is being led by several wicked leaderships who should long since be rotting in jails, and so you feel unsure whom to defend.Let me clarify for you and I hope you will hear. This war is one of good versus evil. It is the one we have been fighting all along. It matters not whether you love or you hate the Jews, for the evil which burnt down our homes, mass raped and tortured families, is the one gathering strength in your overseas streets at this moment. What we fight is one and the same. It is a darkness of a brutal prisoner existence versus the fragile freedoms of self-determination which we have all taken so regrettably for granted. The threat is the same and it looms over us all.Prepare yourselves: Jewish communities everywhere, and all who value your freedoms. Know it is your responsibility to defend them. No one else is coming. This is the decisive moment.The change we long for is alive in potential still, but only if we accept our role to personally see it forward now.*May G-d bless us with strength and with courage, with clarity and precision to live bravely and in His light.*- Ilana Rachel DanielIlana Rachel Daniel is a reader-supported publication.
