James Lindsay returns for a two-hour deep dive: his own journey from lifelong Democrat to Trump voter, how Trump Derangement Syndrome became what he calls one of the most wide-ranging psychological operations in modern history, the 130-year throughline from the Protocols of the Elders of Zion to today's "Israel Derangement Syndrome," what Salafism and the book Milestones actually teach, and why he says American schools are deliberately inducing emotional crises in kids to turn them into activists.  Notable Quotes "It's one of the most wide-ranging psychological operations that's ever been executed on the American public — honestly, the global public." — James Lindsay, on Trump Derangement Syndrome "The second she said 'I'm voting for Trump,' it clicked in my head. I have permission from my broader social universe to do this." — James Lindsay "You must never, ever give one drop more information than was asked for." — James Lindsay, on talking to people who disagree with you "People overestimate how well they know things. The only way to open their mind is to have them explain what they think they know but don't actually know for themselves, at length." — James Lindsay, on the illusion of explanatory depth "The idea is: we're going to do a bunch of stuff, so let's blame the Jews for doing that stuff, so that when we do it, people get mad at Jews and not at us." — James Lindsay, on the Protocols of the Elders of Zion "Anti-Zionism is a reformulation of the classic Soviet anti-imperialist narrative against Britain and against the United States." — James Lindsay "Don't let anybody ever call you a racist for objecting to Islam. It is certainly not racial in any way whatsoever to reject Islam." — James Lindsay "Have you tried voting? If Republicans who care about this country showed up in double their present numbers, almost every one of these problems we're freaking out about could be stopped." — James Lindsay "We are bigotryophobic to the point where we're so afraid that people will identify us as some social evil — specifically, some form of bigotry — that we will do anything to make sure that perception doesn't leak out." — James Lindsay "Better, in fact, is worse — because it hides the possibility of a fundamentally different world." — James Lindsay, on critical theory "This is psychological, emotional abuse on children, done intentionally, as an educational program backed by the state." — James Lindsay, on ethnic studies curricula   People & Organizations to Follow RAIR Foundation USA — Amy Mek's investigative organization tracking radical mosques, imams, and Islamist funding in the US Benedict Beckeld — writer/researcher who argues "oikophobia" (hatred of one's own society), not suicidal empathy, is the real driver Gad Saad — evolutionary psychologist and author, coined/popularized "suicidal empathy" White Rose Magazine — cited for essays on Islam as a political ideology   Time stamps 1:13 — James's political evolution begins (TDS backstory) 6:42 — The "very fine people" clip story 14:02 — TDS as a mass psychological operation 15:59 — No Kings rallies irony 18:11 — How to talk to people who disagree with you 19:54 — Illusion of explanatory depth / toilet study 27:05 — Israel Derangement Syndrome introduced 29:26 — History: Protocols of the Elders of Zion 34:15 — Post-WWI Middle East / British Mandate history 39:55 — 1948 War and the Nakba 42:01 — Six Day War, USS Liberty, Soviet pivot to anti-Zionism 44:25 — Anti-Zionism enters Western academia / the New Left 50:58 — Where does this go?

The Jews “poisoned the wells.” Now the Jewish state apparently controls migrants. Every crisis still needs the same familiar scapegoat.

The Nazis are often seen as the epitome of antisemitism, but they were also fervent Antizionists, making them ideological allies of sorts with today's radical Islamists and far-left agitators. That little-known aspect of Nazi ideology is explored in this week's podcast, part 2 with Professor Andrew Pessin, Founding Director of the Institute for the Critical Study of Antizionism.

The problem is not that anti-Zionism criticizes Israel. It is what anti-Zionism ultimately demands.

Scripture is clear: the gifts of the Holy Spirit continue throughout the Church Age until Jesus returns. But the Bible also strongly rebukes those who flaunt self-proclaimed titles like “Apostle,” “Prophet,” or “Archbishop.” In this video, Christine Darg examines the growing problem of grandiose, self-bestowed titles in the church—and how they often lead to control, financial exploitation, adulation and deception. Drawing from Matthew 23, Revelation 2:2, 2 Corinthians 11, and other key passages, she shows why Jesus warned against seeking honorifics and why we must test those who call themselves apostles. You'll also hear why humility is the true mark of Spirit-empowered ministry, why the foundational apostles and prophets cannot be supplemented, and how ordinary believers can still walk in genuine gifts and high ministry offices without self-promotion. Then the teaching turns to a major end-time sign: the explosive rise of anti-Zionism and antisemitism. With Israel restored as the prophetic “fig tree,” Satan is stirring global hatred against God's people—exactly as Scripture foretold. Learn why the Church must stand as true watchmen, pray for the peace of Jerusalem, and intercede for the salvation of all Israel (Romans 11:26).Most importantly, this video ends with a clear gospel invitation.

For years, and the last 3 years in particular, antizionist professors have hijacked the word 'Zionism' and used it to falsely demonize Israel and its supporters. While it is indisputably a form of antisemitism, it is also a hate movement in its own right. In this podcast, we are joined by Professor Andrew Pessin, founding director of the Institute for the Critical Study of Antizionism, to explain how this happened. The institute is a scholarly initiative dedicated to producing and promoting critical research on the history, evolution and contemporary manifestations of antizionism as an ideology, worldview and movement.

The rejection of Jewish sovereignty did not begin with the modern State of Israel. It is rooted in a centuries-old struggle over revelation, legitimacy, and who inherits the biblical story.

Was Jesus a Zionist? (Part 1 of 2): Anti-Zionism is spreading throughout the world. Recently, college campuses have become hotbeds for this form of antisemitism, as protesters against Israel chant, “From the River to the Sea, Palestine will be free.” But the land from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea is the nation of Israel's. The fierce wave of ... Read More The post Was Jesus a Zionist? (Part 1 of 2) | July 11, 2026 appeared first on The Friends of Israel Today Radio.

Today on The Gist, host Mike Pesca reflects on the art of the contentious debate and the ongoing siloing of the modern media landscape, looking back at his spirited 2015 interview. Then, NewsNation host and author Batya Ungar-Sargon joins the show to discuss her new book, The Jews and the Left. Ungar-Sargon maps the historical trajectory of American Jewish political alignment from early 20th-century working-class labor movements to the civil rights era, arguing that a post-structuralist "oppressor vs. oppressed" binary has completely colonized the modern academy and trickled down into mainstream neoliberal journalism.

Henry Kopel is a retired federal prosecutor with over 30 years' experience involving national security matters, domestic terrorism, and violent crimes. He most recently authored the extremely ambitious and informative book "War on Hate," which, as one reviewer (Ayaan Hirsi Ali) notes, "raises important questions about how free societies in the West can best be defended from the challenge of Islamism." He is also the author of "The Case for Sanctioning State Sponsors of Genocide Incitement" in the Cornell International Law Journal and has published many op-ed commentaries on Middle East issues. He is a graduate of Brandeis University, Oxford University, and the University of Pennsylvania Law School. He has served as a teaching assistant in the government department at Harvard College and lectured on prosecuting hate crimes at the University of Connecticut Law School. In this episode we discuss the reasons for terrorist and genocide and why there is much misunderstanding of their causes, the role of mass ideological hate indoctrination, the psychology behind terrorist and psychopathic behavior and the triggers of such behavior, why the Western world, educational institutions and the  media are blind to the causes of terrorism, the secret deals thar certain East European nations made with the PLO, the "Palestiniazation" of Middle East studies at colleges, and more. Henry Kopel's book "War on Hate: How to Stop Genocide, Fight Terrorism, and Defend Freedom" is available at AMAZON and other booksellers. He also has numerous articles at The Times of Israel, including: • The Democrats' Duplicitous Hypocrisy on the US-Iran MOU (7/2/26) • On Iran, Both Left and Right Agree: Better to Denounce Jews than Defend Freedom (5/19/26) • To Defeat Antisemitism, Target the Lies of Anti-Zionism (2/17/26) • How the West Let the Intifada Go Global – And How the Diaspora Can Defeat It (12/27/25) • The Israel-Loathing Left Has Become the Future of America's Democratic Party (11/26/25) • Diaspora Jews Must Confront the Toxic Ideology Behind the Violence (6/4/25) • No Professor Rosensaft, Kamala Harris is Hardly the 'Pro-Jewish' Candidate (8/29/24) • How the Keffiyeh Became the 21st Century's Swastika (5/19/24) • To End Hamas Horrors, De-Nazify Palestinian Culture (10/19/23)

Delegitimizing the Jewish State is growing dangerously popular in Western academia and on social media. I discuss the roots of this with the renowned scholar of Sovietantizionism and contemporary antisemitism, Izabella Tabarovsky. She is a Fellow with the Comper Center for the Study of Antisemitism and Racism at the University of Haifa. She is the author of the book Be a Refusenik: A Jewish Student's Survival Guide (2025).

On this WPN Call #558, Dr. Jim Garlow is joined by Chaim Malespin, a soldier in the Israeli Defense Forces, who has been in active reserves for the last 975 days (after serving the mandatory 3 years full time at age 18, followed by 20 years of reserve duty). He is with a team who specializes in finding “tunnels” and then trying to neutralize them. Chaim discusses the eight fronts of the war that Israel is fighting, as well as his teaching on “Aliyah,” and his thoughts on antisemitism and Zionism.      Dr. Jim Garlow has partnered with Pastor Mario Bramnick and Terry Barnes to bring you World Prayer Network (WPN), which seeks out Holy Spirit given strategies for how to be an effective and contagious Christ-follower in our present national situations. WPN hosts weekly prayer calls to seek out strategies for the transformation of nations, including our own.

Programming note: Friday Focus will be taking a summer break. We will be back with new episodes starting September 11 (and, of course, if any serious news breaks over the summer!).Janice and Rudyard begin by unpacking an IRGC attack on a tanker transiting the Strait of Hormuz, exposing a fundamental divide between Washington and Tehran over freedom of navigation. While the U.S. insists on open access without fees or restrictions, Iran views the waterway as a source of leverage. If the two sides cannot bridge that gap, what hope is there of resolving the far more consequential nuclear dispute? Iran sees a U.S. president who makes a lot of threats but does not have the resolve to make good on them.In the second half, the conversation turns to Israel's waning international support and the growing political potency of anti-Zionism. Following a string of primary victories in New York by candidates sharply critical of Israel, Rudyard and Janice ask whether opposition to the Israeli state is becoming a defining electoral issue, particularly among younger voters. They explore the claim that for figures like Zohran Mamdani, Palestine is a central political cause, and consider why anti-Zionist—and at times antisemitic—rhetoric is generating such traction across parts of both the political left and right, and whether that trend can be reversed.Become a Munk Donor ($50 annually) to get 72-hour advanced access to the full length editions of Friday Focus and Munk Dialogues.

In contemporary discourse, antizionism is treated either as legitimate political critique or as bigotry only when it resembles recognizable forms of classical antisemitism. This article challenges that assumption. I argue that antizionism is a coherent ideological formation with a distinct genealogy, stable core tropes, and a specific political logic. Tracing its development across the Nazi–Islamist axis, Soviet propaganda, and Western settler-colonial theory, I identify a recurring triad of libels—colonizer, apartheid, genocide—that compose its discourse. Combining genealogical reconstruction with anthropological description, I show that antizionism constitutes a political inversion of classical antisemitism. Whereas classical antisemitism was anti-assimilationist, casting Jews as alien outsiders, antizionism is assimilationist, denying the legitimacy of Jewish peoplehood and indigeneity. This inversion reclassifies the Jew by reversing the cultural categories through which Jews are imagined, recoding the Jew from non-European infiltrator to white colonizer. Recognizing this structure clarifies antizionism as a distinct contemporary formation of anti-Jewish bigotry. Learn more about your ad choices.

**What you'll discover:**We begin by revisiting Revelation 16 and the three unclean spirits “like frogs” – which we previously connected to the French Revolution's ideals of liberty, fraternity, and equality. These spirits, we suggest, are now actively uniting the world against Israel. Using a second approach – observing current events – we find this framework confirmed in a **revealing** way.From the UN's disproportionate condemnation of Israel (as noted by Prime Minister Netanyahu) to the shocking scenes in London, Sydney, and New York just days after the October 7th massacre, we see prophecy unfolding before our eyes. We examine surveys showing that over half of young adults in the US and UK believe Israel should not exist – a **wonderful** (in the sense of awe-inspiring) confirmation that the nations are aligning exactly as Scripture foretold.We then trace the modern spirit of “woke” back to its roots in the French Revolution and Marxism, showing how this oppressor-oppressed framework has turned against the Jewish people and the nation of Israel. What appears as anti‑Zionism is often a repackaged form of ancient antisemitism – and we explain how the Soviet Union's propaganda after the Six‑Day War seeded much of what we see today.Finally, we ask: what does this mean for Bible believers? How does this cultural revolution challenge those who seek to follow the Lord Jesus Christ in a world gone mad? This is a **revealing** and practical application that will strengthen your resolve to stand on God's Word.Chapters:00:00 – Introduction: world news from a biblical standpoint 00:20 – Recap: the three frog‑like spirits from Revelation 16 and the French Revolution 00:59 – A second approach: observing the world uniting against Israel 01:36 – From the French Revolution to the UN Human Rights framework 02:17 – Nations gathering against Israel – what Revelation 16 foretells 02:49 – Netanyahu on the UN's disproportionate bias against Israel 03:40 – The October 7th attack and the world's frightening reaction (London, Sydney, New York) 04:51 – EU survey: antisemitism as a “big problem” for 90% of French Jews 05:40 – Young people's views in the US and UK: over half want Israel ended 06:25 – Prophecy being fulfilled before our eyes 06:45 – Rising antisemitism and fear among Jews worldwide 07:11 – What is “woke”?

Josh Szeps joins us for a wide-ranging conversation about Israel, Gaza, antisemitism, Zionism, Jewish identity and why the debate has become so exhausting and distorted. We talk about whether Jews outside Israel are being forced to answer for the Israeli government, what anti-Zionism really means, the failure of the peace process, Netanyahu, Gaza, drones, Palestinian leadership, the pressure to “circle the wagons,” and whether it is possible to criticize Israel without giving ammunition to people who hate Jews. Josh Szeps hosts one of the biggest shows on Substack, Uncomfortable Conversations with Josh Szeps, where he has funny, bullshit-free conversations with people like Sam Harris, Jimmy Carr, Bari Weiss and Mark Normand about subjects that the mainstream media fails to discuss honestly. He has been on Joe Rogan's show seven times, he was a founding host of HuffPost Live in New York, then went on to get cancelled from his own top-rating talk radio show on Australia's national public broadcaster.

May is Jewish American Heritage Month (JAHM), which annually celebrates the history, culture, and contributions of Jewish Americans to the United States.  As JAHM concludes, I am very excited that singers, songwriters, and bandmates Max Bartos & Jake Kitchin are the final guests on this Jake's Take with Jacob Elyachar special series!  Max is New York's resident motherfolker! His folk and Americana music pairs introspective lyricism with anthemic folk-rock energy. As the frontman of Max Bartos and the Motherfolkers, the crafts songs are rooted in storytelling and emotional honesty, with a modern acoustic sound shaped by influences such as Mumford & Sons and Noah Kahan. His latest release, Waiting At The Crossroads (2025) captures a defining chapter in his artistic evolution, expanding his folk and Americana foundation with richer dynamics and a more confident, fully realized identity.   Fresh off a 30-date U.S. tour with The Misfit Toys, he continues to build momentum on the road. This spring, he joined acclaimed singer-songwriter Brendan James as direct support on a 14-date national tour from March 11 through April 1, further cementing his reputation as a compelling and emotionally resonant live act.

Support the crowd justice campaign. (Legal challenge against the IHRA's free speech restrictions on Israel- right to protest) https://www.crowdjustice.com/case/leg... The British state is increasingly targeting anti-imperialist voices and our party has been directly subjected to this repression. This is no accident. As imperialism decays, political repression and the suppression of free speech intensify, specifically aimed at silencing anti-imperialist messages and organised resistance. The ruling class deliberately conflates opposition to the colonial project of Israel with hatred of Jewish people. Anti-Zionism is not antisemitism. The IHRA definition of antisemitism is being weaponised to suppress Palestine solidarity, criminalise dissent, and erode free speech for anti-imperialists. In this interview on Jedal (Ali Alizadeh), Comrade Ranjeet shares his experiences working within the NHS, alongside a history of our party and the work we do.

On Monday, the New York Times published an opinion column by Nicholas Kristof titled "The Silence That Meets the Rape of Palestinians" — an explicit attempt to draw a moral equivalence between Hamas and Israel by alleging that both equally engage in systematic sexual violence. The piece, based on interviews with 14 unnamed Palestinians, cited a Geneva-based NGO calling Israeli sexual abuse a "standard operating procedure" and described, among other things, trained dogs used to sexually assault prisoners. Kristof quoted former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert appearing to validate the charges - but Olmert subsequently issued a statement clarifying that he did not, in fact, confirm the column's most serious claims, including that Israeli authorities directed the rape of children or that systematic sexual torture is state policy. The morning after Kristof's column appeared, an Israeli civil commission released a 300-page report - built on more than 10,000 photographs, thousands of hours of video, and over 400 testimonies - concluding that Hamas's sexual violence on October 7th was systematic, widespread, and deliberate. The New York Times, which had been told the report was coming months in advance, published it nearly 24 hours after running Kristof's op-ed.  Reporters who spent the day going through Kristof's column claim by claim found it largely unverifiable - no dates, no locations, no names - recycled from dubious sources and in many cases almost certainly false. The deeper question this episode asks is not simply whether the column is fair, but how something like it gets published in the paper of record at all: what is the pipeline, from NGO to press release to Pulitzer Prize winner's byline, that turns unverified claims into fact? And why does that pipeline flow so reliably in one direction?  To answer that, Dan is joined by Matti Friedman, a former AP reporter and editor in Jerusalem, and author of the 2014 Atlantic essay "What the Media Gets Wrong About Israel" - who has spent years documenting the specific mechanisms by which NGOs hostile to Israel have shaped, and in some cases dictated, Western coverage of this conflict. In this episode: - What Kristof's column alleged - Which claims are documented, unverifiable, or implausible - How NGO claims become mainstream coverage - Euro-Med, activist sourcing, and the New York Times - Matti Friedman's warning about Western media - The October 7th sexual violence report and the timing problem - The moral equivalence at the heart of the piece - The cost to Israel  This episode was sponsored by Birthright: Invest in the Jewish future today at onetripchangeseverything.com.

Antizionism is spreading like wildfire. On May 17, Stop Antizionism organizes a world symposium with Ben Shapiro as the keynote speaker www.stopaz.org/symposium .Co-founder Naya Lekht tells us about the symposium and the need for the organization Stop Antizionism www.stopaz.org .

In this powerful video, we expose how the recent anti-Israel march through Flatbush, Brooklyn — a heavily Jewish neighborhood — reveals the ugly truth: Anti-Zionism is not about “occupation” or “policy.” It is pure, unfiltered Jew-hatred marching straight into Jewish communities.We break down how this hatred didn't start on October 7th. It was engineered decades ago by the Soviet KGB as part of a deliberate psychological warfare operation. Former Romanian intelligence chief Ion Mihai Pacepa and KGB defectors reveal how Yuri Andropov's team created the “Palestinian” national identity from scratch to weaponize Jew-hatred across the Islamic world and turn it against Israel and the West.You'll learn:How the PLO and Palestinian National Charter were manufactured in MoscowWhy “From the River to the Sea” is a call for Jewish genocide, not coexistenceThe connection between Soviet strategy, modern campus protests, and the global intifadaThe march through Flatbush wasn't random. It was the latest chapter in a long war against the Jewish people. The mask is off — anti-Zionism is the new face of antisemitism.If you want to understand the real forces behind the explosion of Jew-hatred in the West and why this battle is existential for both Israel and the free world, watch until the end.This is not just about Israel.This is about civilization itself.Join Our Whatsapp Channel: https://chat.whatsapp.com/GkavRznXy731nxxRyptCMvFollow us on Twitter: https://x.com/AviAbelowJoin our Telegram Channel: https://t.me/aviabelowpulseFollow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pulse_of_israel/?hl=enPulse of Israel on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/IsraelVideoNetworkVisit Our Website - https://pulseofisrael.com/Donate to Pulse of Israel: https://pulseofisrael.com/boost-this-video/

Adam Louis Klein is a PhD student in anthropology at McGill who became one of the leading voices against antizionism after October 7. He was in the Amazon jungle doing fieldwork when the attacks happened. When he returned and refused to stay silent, he was immediately labeled a Zionist and told he had no future in his field. Instead of backing down, he built a movement. In this episode, Adam explains why antizionism is its own category of bigotry, distinct from antisemitism but equally harmful, and why naming it matters more than debunking individual claims. He lays out a practical framework for how to respond when you're hit with terms like "colonial," "apartheid," or "genocide," and why the key is boundary-setting rather than fact-checking. We cover: Real-time role play: what to say when someone claims Israel is colonial, genocidal, or apartheid Why calling something antisemitism often backfires and what to say instead How antizonism functions as a moral identity, not just a political position What Jewish antizionism actually is and where it comes from The role of legacy institutions, philanthropy, and academia in changing the narrative Adam's movement, MAAZ Action (mazaction.org), offers free trainings — 1 to 2 hours — that communities, synagogues, and corporations can access right now.

Vlad Khaykin is the Head of North American Advocacy for the Simon Wiesenthal Center (and a former ADL veteran). He approaches antisemitism the way a scientist approaches a virus: studying its architecture, its mutations, and why it keeps infecting new hosts across centuries. This is an episode where you'll learn a tremendous amount about antisemitism's latest "mutation" - Anti-Zionism. Anti-Zionism isn't an abstract debate — it's an ideology with a body count, and millions of living Jews can tell you exactly what it looks like when it wins. Vlad also makes the case that internalized antisemitism is one of the most pressing problems facing the Jews today.

Political scientist, author, and one the foremost authorities on Gaza, Norman Finkelstein, returns to Bad Faith to debate how the left should mange the political right's dominance within the anti-Zionist, pro-Palestine movement. With huge platforms and enormous influence, figures like Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens, and Marjorie Taylor Greene have become the dominant Israel-critical voices in the United States. But what are the implications of that given that they embrace politics and conspiracy theories not shared by the left? What obligation do leftists like Norm have to distance themselves from these figures -- even though they have become some of the few hosts that still invite leftists on to their platforms? Also, Finkelstein addresses the long-standing contraversy over his critique of BDS.
