This midterm season, one issue has become something of a litmus test for Democratic candidates: support for Israel. However, some Jewish progressives fear the fine line between policy disagreements and antisemitism is starting to fray, leaving some to ask: should Jewish candidates should even try to run for president?  For more: As Israel becomes Democratic litmus test, Jewish progressives warn about a tilt into antisemitism  ---  Guest: Edward-Isaac Dovere, CNN Senior Reporter  Host: David Rind  Producer: Paola Ortiz  Showrunner: Felicia Patinkin Photo By: Spencer Platt/Getty Images Learn more about your ad choices.

We delve into the story of deception involving the Gibeonites. As Israel continues its conquest of Canaan, they encounter the Gibeonites, who, fearing for their lives, deceive Joshua and the leaders into making a peace treaty. This agreement violated God's command not to make covenants with the inhabitants of Canaan. Despite realizing the deception, Joshua honors the treaty due to their oath to Yahweh, making the Gibeonites perpetual laborers for Israel. Support the showRead along with us in the Bible Brief App!

From the ancient words of the Torah to the modern frontlines, a hidden shift is taking place that will redefine what it means to be an Israeli. Is the Haredi draft crisis really about military service—or about the future of the Jewish people? As Israel struggles with one of its most divisive public debates, Geoffrey Stern sits down with Rabbi Yehoshua Pfeffer—founder of the Iyun Institute, editor of Tzarich Iyun, and one of the leading intellectual voices emerging from within the Haredi community—for a thoughtful and surprisingly hopeful conversation. Key Takeaways Brotherhood Before Politics Moses doesn't ask, "Who should be drafted?" He asks, "Shall your brothers go to war while you remain here?" The Torah frames the issue not as one of politics or legal rights, but of achdut—brotherhood, shared destiny, and mutual responsibility. A Quiet Revolution Is Already Underway Behind the headlines, profound changes are taking place within Haredi society. Rabbi Yehoshua Pfeffer argues that a new generation is rediscovering Tanach, engaging questions of citizenship and public responsibility, and seeking ways to integrate Torah values with participation in the life and defense of the Jewish State. Judaism Is Ultimately a Religion of Hope Despite the tensions surrounding the draft, Rabbi Pfeffer remains remarkably optimistic. Like the tribes of Reuben and Gad, both Israeli society and the Haredi community are still evolving. The future will not be shaped by slogans or coercion, but by honest conversation, mutual respect, and a renewed commitment to seeing one another as brothers.

Welcome to Day 2898 of Wisdom-Trek. Thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom. Day 2898 – Wisdom Nuggets – Psalm 139:19-24 Daily Wisdom Wisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2898 Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps! I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day 2898 of our Trek. The Purpose of Wisdom-Trek is to create a legacy of wisdom, to seek out discernment and insights, and to boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. Today's title is: Search Me, O God, and Lead Me Home Today, we complete our trek through Psalm one hundred thirty-nine, focusing on verses nineteen through twenty-four from the New Living Translation. This final section may feel, at first, like a sudden and jarring turn. In our previous podcast, David was standing in wonder before the God who formed him in the womb, saw him before birth, recorded his days before even one of them had passed, and thought thoughts more numerous than the grains of sand. David ended that section with the beautiful confession that, when he wakes up, he is still with God. Now, however, David moves from wonder to warfare, from worship to moral anguish, from being known by God to asking God to examine him. This is not a contradiction. It is the natural movement of a heart that truly loves the Lord. When we recognize that God knows us completely, forms us intentionally, and surrounds us continually, we also become more aware of what opposes his holiness, his justice, and his covenant love. Psalm one hundred thirty-nine, verse nineteen, begins with David crying out for God to deal with the wicked. He asks God to destroy those who are violent and evil, and then he separates himself from them, saying, in effect, “Get away from me, you murderers.” That is strong language. It is uncomfortable language. Yet, it is also honest language from a man who has seen what evil can do. David is not speaking as a casual observer. He has lived in a world where violence breaks families, corrupts nations, defiles worship, and destroys the innocent. As Israel's king, he knew that evil was not merely a private flaw tucked away in the heart. Evil could become public, organized, and destructive. It could infect courts, armies, cities, temples, and thrones. Wickedness was not an abstract idea to David. It had names, weapons, plans, and victims. In the ancient Israelite worldview, rebellion against God was never only earthly. Scripture presents a universe in which the Lord reigns above every power, every nation, every ruler, and every spiritual being. The divine council imagery reminds us that God is the Most High, surrounded by heavenly servants, yet unrivaled in authority. When human beings give themselves to violence, falsehood, and idolatry, they are not merely breaking social rules. They are aligning themselves with rebellion against the Creator's order. That helps us understand David's intensity. He is not simply saying, “I dislike difficult people.” He is grieving those who stand against the Lord's purposes. He is pleading for God's justice to break the power of those who shed innocent blood. In a world where the vulnerable are often crushed, where tyrants often prosper, and where evil often wears a respectable mask, David's prayer says, “Lord, do not let wickedness have the final word.” Then, in verse twenty, David says that these enemies blaspheme God, and that they misuse his name. They speak of the Lord with deceit, contempt, and rebellion. In the New Living Translation, the sense is that they take God's name in vain, using holy language for unholy purposes. This is a serious charge. In Israel, the name of the Lord was not a religious slogan. God's name represented his character, presence, covenant, authority, and reputation among the nations. To misuse God's name was to treat the Holy One as common. It was to drag sacred truth into the service of selfish ambition, violence, manipulation, or false worship. We still see this today. People may use God-language to justify hatred, greed, pride, abuse, or indifference. They may speak the name of the Lord, while refusing the ways of the Lord. They may claim spiritual authority, while crushing others. They may use faith as a costume, while their actions reveal another allegiance. David's concern in verse twenty is not merely bad manners. It is spiritual treason. It is the corruption of worship itself. Then, in verses twenty-one and twenty-two, David asks, “Shouldn't I hate those who hate you, Lord? Shouldn't I despise those who oppose you?” He says he hates them with complete hatred, and counts them as his enemies. Again, these are difficult words, and we must handle them carefully. David is speaking in the language of covenant loyalty. He is declaring that he will not make peace with rebellion against God. He will not celebrate evil. He will not pretend that violence is harmless. He will not treat blasphemy as wisdom. He will not stand in neutral territory when the honor of the Lord is under attack. Yet, as followers of Christ, we must read David's words through the fullness of Scripture. Jesus taught us to love our enemies, pray for those who persecute us, and bless those who curse us. He did not weaken God's hatred of evil; he revealed God's mission to redeem sinners. At the cross, we see both truths held together. God takes evil with absolute seriousness, and God offers mercy with astonishing grace. So, how do we apply David's prayer today? We do not use it as permission for personal bitterness, revenge, cruelty, or contempt. Instead, we let it teach us to hate evil without becoming hateful people. We reject wickedness without forgetting that we, too, need mercy. We stand against injustice, violence, deception, abuse, and blasphemy, while still praying that enemies may become brothers and sisters through repentance and grace. That is why the final two verses are so important. David does not end by saying, “God, examine them.” He says, “God, examine me.” Psalm one hundred thirty-nine, verses twenty-three and twenty-four, bring us to one of the most well-known prayers in all the Psalms. David asks God to search him and know his heart, to test him and know his anxious thoughts. He asks God to point out anything in him that offends the Lord, and then lead him along the path of everlasting life. This is the great turn of the psalm. David has spoken about the wicked. He has condemned violence. He has grieved blasphemy. He has declared loyalty to God. But before he walks away satisfied with his own righteousness, he opens his own soul to divine examination. That is wisdom. That is humility. That is spiritual maturity. It is easy to see the sins of others. It is much harder to invite God to expose the sins within us. It is easy to criticize the violence “out there,” while ignoring anger in our own hearts. It is easy to condemn deceit “out there,” while excusing half-truths in our own speech. It is easy to grieve arrogance “out there,” while protecting pride in our own spirit. David refuses that kind of self-deception. Remember how this psalm began. In Psalm one hundred thirty-nine, verse one, David said that the Lord had examined his heart and knew everything about him. Now, at the end, David asks God to do what God already does. “Search me.” Why ask God to search what he already knows? Because David is not asking for God's information. He is asking for God's transformation. That is a vital distinction. God already knows every hidden corner of our hearts. He knows our motives, fears, memories, wounds, desires, and anxieties. But prayer is the act of inviting God's knowledge to become our healing. We are saying, “Lord, bring into the light what I would rather keep in the shadows. Show me what I cannot see clearly. Reveal what is twisted, anxious, selfish, proud, fearful, or false. Then lead me.” The word “anxious” is important. David does not ask God only to identify obvious sins. He asks God to know his anxious thoughts. Anxiety can drive us into control, suspicion, anger, avoidance, envy, and despair. Fear can distort our view of God, ourselves, and others. When David invites God into his anxious thoughts, he is opening not only his behavior, but his inner life. Then comes the final request: “Point out anything in me that offends you, and lead me along the path of everlasting life.” David knows that exposure without guidance would crush us. Conviction without mercy would leave us hopeless. But God does not search us merely to shame us. He searches us to lead us. The Great Shepherd reveals the dangerous path so he can guide us onto the everlasting one. In the ancient covenant world, there were two paths: the path of life and the path of death; the way of wisdom and the way of folly; loyalty to the Lord and rebellion against him. David asks to be led in the ancient, enduring, everlasting way—the way aligned with God's character, God's kingdom, and God's future. For us, this path is fully revealed in Jesus Christ. He is the way, the truth, and the life. He is the righteous King greater than David. He is the One who confronts evil, forgives sinners,...

As Israel journeys through Exodus 19-40, God forms His people through His covenant, the Ten Commandments, and the Tabernacle. This message explores what true biblical freedom looks like, why God's commands are life-giving, and how everything in Exodus ultimately points to Jesus, our perfect Mediator who brings us into God's presence.

Exodus 17 reminds us that God's people never outgrow their need for Him. As Israel battles Amalek, victory is tied not merely to Joshua's courage in the valley but to Moses' uplifted hands on the mountain. The passage exposes our instinct toward self-reliance and shows that true strength is found in dependence on God and in the support of His people. Ultimately, it points to Jesus, the true and better Moses, who continually intercedes for us and has declared war on sin, Satan, and death. Join us as we discover why dependence is not weakness but the pathway to lasting victory.

We explore the intriguing story of Balaam and his talking donkey, a preview into what God will do with this pagan prophet. As Israel completes its journey to the plains of Moab, King Balak of Moab seeks to curse the Israelites through the pagan prophet Balaam. Despite initially refusing, Balaam sets out for Moab, only to be confronted by an angel of the Lord, unseen by him but visible to his donkey. After the donkey speaks, Balaam's eyes are opened to the divine presence, and he is instructed to only speak God's words. Support the showRead along with us in the Bible Brief App!

In this sermon from Judges 6, Pastor Jim Schultz examines the account of Gideon and the repeated temptation to demand proof when God has already spoken. As Israel suffers under Midianite oppression, God calls Gideon to act. Yet instead of responding with confident obedience, Gideon continually seeks signs and assurances, revealing a heart marked by hesitation and uncertainty.This passage reminds us that God's people are called to take Him at His Word. While God graciously bears with Gideon's weakness, the focus of the chapter is not on imitating Gideon's requests for signs, but on recognizing the sufficiency and reliability of God's promises. The Lord had spoken clearly, and Gideon's responsibility was to believe and obey.Pastor Jim also explores Israel's idolatry, God's righteous discipline, His undeserved grace, and the empowering work of the Holy Spirit. Ultimately, this message calls believers to reject the constant demand for further proof and instead trust what God has revealed in His Word. True faith is not built on signs and miracles, but on the character and promises of God.

Reserve your spot for the premiere of War of Redemption: https://thelandofisrael.com/war-of-redemption/ This week on the Land of Israel Guys podcast, Ari and Jeremy along with The Israel Guys, take a deeper look at why Judea and Samaria remain at the center of Israel's modern story, much as they were in the days of King David. As farms continue to spread across the biblical heartland at a historic pace, they discuss how agriculture has become one of the most important frontiers in securing and developing the land of Israel. Against the backdrop of a rapidly growing Jerusalem, the conversation explores some of the most significant issues facing the nation today: the imprisonment of an IDF soldier, the expansion of Israel's farm movement, cultural and spiritual challenges within Israeli society, and the prophetic vision of redemption that continues to inspire millions around the world. The episode also features the announcement of a new documentary, War of Redemption, which tells the story of the men and women living on the front lines of Israel's biblical heartland. As Israel's defense industry reaches record-breaking levels, Ari and Jeremy reflect on the prophetic promise of a future in which swords are turned into plowshares and the Torah goes forth from Zion. Subscribe for weekly conversations from Jerusalem, Judea, and Samaria, featuring current events, biblical insights, and on-the-ground perspectives from the Land of Israel.

On Wednesday's Mark Levin Show, the House is trying to use the unconstitutional War Powers Act to end the war against Iran. The Democrats and 4 Republicans voted for it, so it passed in the House. It might pass in the Senate. But it does not matter. President Trump would veto it, and Congress does not have 2/3rds majority to override the veto. The Democrats know this, as do the rogue Republicans who join them. It's performative. Also, why do Israeli leaders face public berating and pressure from the U.S., while Arab kings, dictators, Crown Prince's, and Iran's regime are never criticized. This occurs because Israel is a democracy reliant on U.S. support, allowing efforts to undermine its government and encourage rivals, amplified by Israel's left-wing media. As Israel's elected leader of a war-weary democracy, Benjamin Netanyahu should not yield to Iran to preserve talks. The U.S. needs to finish the Iranian regime and arming its people seeking liberation. We don't want to see a "Bridge over the River Kwai" syndrome where attachment to a deal causes loss of the core mission. Later, coming off his primary win for Governor of California, Steve Hilton calls in to discuss his race to the general election in November.

God's promises are easy to celebrate when we see them fulfilled, but they are often hardest to trust while we're waiting for them. In Joshua 11, Pastor Jon reminds us that God always does what He says He will do. As Israel finally steps into the Promised Land after generations of waiting, we see that God's faithfulness gives us confidence to follow His plan, purpose to participate in His work, and peace as we trust His timing. Because God keeps His promises, we can take our next step in obedience knowing that He has already gone before us.

As Israel's genocide in Gaza continues and Lebanon faces ongoing aggression and political pressure to capitulate, many people are grappling with fear, exhaustion, and despair.But what if hopelessness itself is part of the strategy?Psychoanalyst and author Lara Sheehi joins Dispatches with Rania Khalek to discuss the psychological dimensions of fascism, empire, colonial violence, and resistance — from Israeli psychological warfare and sexual humiliation as a tool of domination, to the weaponization of sectarianism in Lebanon, the role of media propaganda, and why revolutionary optimism is itself a political act.Sheehi also discusses her new book, From the Clinic to the Streets: Psychoanalysis for Revolutionary Futures, and explains why the work of Frantz Fanon is more urgent than ever.Topics include:Psychic militancy and psychological warfareHow fascism reshapes society psychologicallyIsraeli violence, humiliation & dominationLebanon, sectarianism & capitulation politicsWhy empire depends on despairThe limits of liberalismThe politics of the wellness industryMedia propaganda and psychological controlRevolutionary optimism and resistance

As Israel's genocide in Gaza continues despite the so-called ceasefire agreement, the psychological toll on Palestinians remains far less visible than the physical destruction. In this episode of This is Palestine, Samah Jabr examines the mental health impact of genocide, siege, starvation, displacement, and ongoing Israeli violence through the lens of what she calls “colonial trauma.” We discuss grief and despair beyond conventional psychiatric language, the long-term impact of violence on future generations, and the limits of providing mental health care under occupation and mass violence.

As Israel is fighting enemies on multiple fronts, it can't afford to lose any of its vital strategic assets. And according to Dr. Avishay Ben Sasson-Gordis, a researcher at Tel Aviv's Institute for National Security Studies, it is in danger of losing one of those assets: the support of American Jews. "The loss of the special relationship between Israel and the US will force Israel to reconsider its security priorities and matter greatly to the security and foreign policy of the State of Israel," Sasson-Gordis told the Haaretz Podcast. "Within that, the Jewish community over the decades has been a major pillar of that support." A new report co-authored by Sasson-Gordis details the data behind the deterioration of support and explains the reasons for the dramatic drop – even as the Trump White House is offering "unprecedented levels of support" for Israel. The report is intended as a wake-up call for Israeli leaders and offers a list of policy recommendations designed to stave off the deterioration. Polls show that among the U.S. public at large, "Israel is in the red in terms of net public support in every audience except older Republicans – even traditional groups that the current government and previous Israeli governments have seen as stalwart supporters of Israel." The Jewish community faces a "generational cliff," he said, as American Jews, particularly young Jews, are deeply influenced by the multi-front wars waged by Israel. "If you're today a young American Jew who is not very strongly affiliated with Israel to begin with, then the experiences that you've had – either on campus or where you work or on social media – cause you to wonder whether supporting Israel is worth it for you socially and morally." But even older members of the U.S. Jewish establishment, including institutional leaders, he said, "feel like Israel is not listening to them and is not interested in their opinions, even as they are increasingly affected by Israeli actions on the ground."

In this sermon, Pastor Steven walks through one of the darkest moments in Israel's history—the defeat by the Philistines, the capture of the ark, and the death of Eli and his sons. As Israel treats the presence of God like a tool to control rather than a holy reality to worship, the story reveals both the depth of the nation's spiritual decline and the danger of trying to use God for our own purposes.Yet even in judgment and apparent defeat, God shows His absolute power and sovereignty. From the fall of Dagon before the ark to the return of the ark without Israel lifting a sword, this message reminds us that God cannot be manipulated, defeated, or contained—and that even in the darkest seasons, He remains fully in control of His people's story.

Unexpected Grace - Judges 3:12-30 - Pastor Jim Schultz explores the powerful story of Ehud, the left-handed deliverer raised up by God to rescue Israel from oppression. In this engaging sermon from the Book of Judges, we see how God uses unexpected and flawed people to accomplish His perfect purposes. As Israel falls again into sin, God's mercy shines through in raising a deliverer who brings both justice and freedom. Pastor Jim unpacks the tension between human brokenness and divine grace, pointing us ultimately to Jesus Christ, the greater Deliverer who saves without flaw or deception. This message reminds us that no one is beyond God's use and that His grace meets us in our weakness. Be encouraged to see your life through the lens of God's redemptive plan and rest in the unexpected grace found in Christ alone. Perfect for those studying Judges 3 or seeking biblical encouragement today.

Egypt has opposed the State of Israel since its rebirth in 1948. Yet time and time again, Israel has been able to push back against the Egyptian army. In the late 1970s, Israel agreed to return the Sinai to Egypt in exchange for peace. Currently, it appears that this agreement may be coming to an end. Egypt has positioned 40,000 troops in the Sinai, which is a direct violation of the peace agreement.  As Israel continues to fight Iran and its proxies, Egypt is weighing its options. Egypt knows its military is over twice the size of Israel's military. And with most of Israel's airforce often flying over the skies of Iran hours from home, Egypt's odds have never looked better.  Could this be the time that Egypt finally makes another move to attack Israel?

As Israel walked out of Egypt, their past would soon hunt them down. Pharoah set out to recapture the Israelites. They were trapped between a river and their oppressors. They were trapped behind an uncrossable barrier and their past coming to reenslave them. 3,500 years later, we face the same predicament. When our future feels impossible and our past is running us down, who will deliver us? Join us for the last week of our series, “The Deliverer”, as we look to the only one who can save us.

In today's message, Pastor Chris walks us through Joshua 18, where we discover that delayed obedience slowly becomes spiritual neglect, and that activity around God is not the same thing as surrender to God. As Israel hesitates to step into what God has already prepared, this passage challenges us to stop delaying what God has already made clear.

Full recording of the Land of Israel Fellowship, captured live on Sunday, May 3rd, 2026, on the Torah portion of Emor. A serene Shabbat in the Judean Desert is suddenly interrupted by a moment that reflects the reality of life in Israel today where even a distant paraglider can trigger memories of October 7th and the ongoing war. Beneath the tension and uncertainty, a deeper spiritual story is unfolding. This episode explores the inner dimension of the times we're living through, and how the mitzvah of the Counting of the Omer offers a path to transformation, clarity, and connection with Hashem. In this teaching: A personal story that captures the emotional reality of Israel right now The lasting impact of October 7th and the ongoing multi-front war Why counting the Omer is described as “for yourselves” The connection between the Manna in the wilderness and the Omer offering Gratitude as the foundation for spiritual growth and receiving the Torah The journey from Passover (freedom) to Shavuot (purpose) The 7 Divine attributes and a practical framework for inner refinement This is more than a weekly teaching—it's a guide for navigating uncertainty with faith, and for using this sacred time of the Omer to grow into who you're meant to be. As Israel faces challenges from every direction, this episode offers a deeper lens into the spiritual process shaping the nation and each of us.

Caution: Today's podcast includes discussions that may NOT be suitable for children  In this episode of The Israel Guys, we break down some modern-day "blood libels." From a nonstop flood of global media narratives accusing Israel of blocking Palestinian children from getting to school, committing extreme abuses, and weaponizing animals. But what's really happening on the ground? We take a closer look at the widely circulated CNN report about Israeli settlers supposedly blocking children from the road to their school and contrast it with on-the-ground accounts showing that the main road remains open and that the story is staged for international media. We also examine the shocking claims that Israel is deploying "weaponized rats" in Gaza, there truly seems to be no end to the false narratives targeting the Jewish people. At the same time, we cover major geopolitical developments shaping the narrative war against Israel — from the interception of the largest flotilla yet that attempted to break the Gaza blockade, to explosive reports alleging that the ICC case against Israeli leaders may have been influenced by Qatar. We also discuss growing criticism of the United Nations after appointing Iran to key human rights roles, and as one of the vice presidents of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Review Conference. As Israel heads toward crucial elections, and a new generation of voters emerges, forged in the fires of raging global antisemitism, this new movement of youth may prove to be the most fierce defenders that the State of Israel has ever seen. We also explore how media, politics, and international institutions are colliding in an all out battle over the truth, and the future of the Jewish state.

Today's Bible verse is 1 Samuel 14:12 from the King James Version. Episode 82: As Israel was preparing for battle against the Philistines, Jonathan and his armor bearer decided to investigate the Philistine camp to see if God would give them favor in launching an attack. Jonathan trusted God, and God used Jonathan and his servant to conquer the entire camp. But Saul, wanting to seize the momentum, made the Israelites under his camp vow not to eat anything until the rest of the Philistines had been driven out.

Aside from demonstrating that Israel felt responsible for the entire Jewish People, and accordingly would bring a mass-murderer to trial for an act that had been perpetuated before the State was formed, and not on its turf, extracting him from a third country half a world away, Israel's prime minister had an educational agenda that would be accomplished through the trial. Israel's youth had never encountered the Holocaust and were appallingly ignorant and derisive about the subject. How could Jews be so passive about their own deaths, they wondered, and they treated survivors with scorn instead of with the respect and sympathy that they deserved. The Eichmann trial changed all of this as the entire country listed in rapt attention as 110 witnesses took the stand and explained in meticulous detail what the Nazis perpetrated and what they had suffered. As Israel's lead prosecutor said in his opening statement that he does not stand alone, with him are six million accusers. The trial was well-received around the world as an embodiment of historical justice, although it surprisingly also revealed the banality of evil.

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. ToI founding editor David Horovitz joins host Jessica Steinberg for today's episode. As Israel marks Holocaust Remembrance Day, Horovitz discusses comments made by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at his pre-recorded speech at Yad Vashem, in which he focused on the blows dealt to the Iranian regime by Israel and the US on behalf of the free world. While mediators aim to maneuver the US and Iran back to talks, Horovitz reviews the gaps between Tehran and Washington, the newly declared US naval blockade on Iran, and the acute dangers of the patient, malevolent regime's survival. With Israeli and Lebanese ambassadors heading to a first, single meeting on Tuesday in Washington, Horovitz notes that both sides have the same goal, disarming Hezbollah, while the terrorist army wants to stop the talks. Finally, Horovitz briefly discusses Peter Magyar's landslide victory in Hungary, a blow for US President Donald Trump and the Israeli premier, creating a shift, too, in the EU.

As Israel escalates its war on Lebanon, one narrative dominates: that Hezbollah is the cause of the conflict.But that story erases decades of history.Long before Hezbollah existed, southern Lebanon was already a frontline of anti-colonial struggle led by Palestinian fighters, Lebanese leftists, and marginalized communities resisting Israeli aggression and internal neglect.In this episode of Dispatches, Rania Khalek speaks with scholar Nate George about:THE ORIGINS OF RESISTANCE IN SOUTH LEBANONTHE ROLE OF THE LEBANESE LEFT AND THE PLOHOW ISRAEL, THE US, AND REGIONAL POWERS CRUSHED THAT MOVEMENTTHE SHIFT FROM SECULAR REVOLUTION TO ISLAMIST RESISTANCEWHY HEZBOLLAH EMERGED — AND WHAT IT REPLACEDThis conversation challenges the dominant narrative and reveals a deeper truth:

As Israel expands its war across the region, Lebanon is once again in the crosshairs.Israeli officials are openly calling for pushing the border to the Litani River, annexing southern Lebanon, and preventing displaced civilians from returning. At the same time, the country is being bombed, depopulated, and pushed toward internal collapse.So what is Israel actually trying to achieve?In this episode of Dispatches, Rania Khalek speaks with Karim Makdisi, co-host of the Makdisi Street podcast and Associate Professor of International Politics at the American University of Beirut.They discuss: -Israel's long-term ambitions in southern Lebanon-Whether this is a plan for annexation or permanent control-Hezbollah's actual strength after 2024-Lebanon's internal divisions and the role of the army-The risk of civil strife and regional escalationThis isn't Israel's first invasion of Lebanon, but the stakes may be higher than ever.
